Overthrow

Today God helped me realize a little more of why He wants me to keep piano--it is like a mirror that reflects my character.

So many of my struggles with piano are epitomes of what I experience in life. this week as I was getting ready to go into my lesson, because I didn't practice much, I was trying to find excuses to cancel the lesson. However, God convicted me to go. I went.

The reason why I didn't want to go is because I didn't want to see Dr. E disappointed. Also, I didn't want to hear him mad; it's kinda scary. However, God proved my wrong. Dr. E was really patient and helpful despite the lack of practice I had. The lesson went really well, in terms of the material we talked about, I learned a lot of practicing techniques. More than that, God used this lesson to show me a lot of my own character flaws that I wasn't paying attention to.

The problems about my playing points back to the way I practice. Dr. E was able to tell me right away how I practice from listening to me once. It was amazing how he could do that. What he pointed out about my practice was exactly some of the problems in my life. I was ashamed of them, but I am thankful that God pointed them out to me. They are the wholes in my pants. It was eye-opening to see.

Next time I should use a magnifying glass to see into the music school and extrapolate about my life. I think I am seeing a little more of God's purpose for me in the music school.
