I haven't touched my guitar in the longest time, that the callouses that I built up a while ago were gone. But all of a sudden, I picked up my guitar on Monday, and I've not stopped practicing ever since.
That's six whole consecutive days now :)
And the motivation I got, was the simplest of words - worship.
I want to be able to play, so that I can sing to God. And well, now that I'm old enough I shall admit this- I think I can write songs. Poems, in fact, because I do not yet possess the musical sense to carry a melody. But I can hold a rhyme, hopefully to the beat of time, and let it float, so we can all soak, in the presence of our God, and stand in awe, as we are reminded by these songs that we write, whose true author is the Spirit that resides.
See my point? It's more like a rap now though, and I don't think anyone wants to hear a 27 year old woman who still struggles to clap to the beat of music mind you, rapping.
I hope this momentum can sustain me
So I can worship The Lord through the melody of music
And enter his presence with a decent song
To praise and worship, all the day long
Oh how awesome it is to sing
Of His great love, by which we are redeemed
And to sing of Jesus who died on the cross
A sacrifice for those who are lost
My fingers now hurt from playing G,C,E and D
But no, they won't stop me from praising Thee!
I love you, God.
