Its been a very long time since I posted anything. But I decided to take my own advice and just go for and write again. Deciding that it neither has to be perfect or profound, just original. Of course, I would love for it to be all three.
So in this long period of time I have been conquering the many things in life that I had been hiding under a chair, to afraid to fail at them so I never even started......That is a terrible way to live. But I know I'm not the only one who struggles with their fears.
One of the things I have decided to conquer my fear of and attempt to do, is learn more about music. I've always had a passion for it (it makes my heart sing) and have been writing songs since I was 13. But after graduating high school, I just put music and art away in a little box and didn't look back at it until October 09. Oddly enough at a Brad Paisley concert (I love him) God brought these hidden talents back out of the box. So despite having a 2 year old and not knowing a thing about music theory or choir, I joined the choir at church. Which then led to me writing a song for the 1st time in 4 years. The passion for the song God had given me, for my hurting friend, led to me to getting guitar lessons (to learn to write the music for the song).That led to voice lessons, and getting coaching on proper song writing. Now the song is complete and the friend, is no longer a friend.......very strange. It just shows me God has a plan, and if all of the things didn't happen just the way they happened, I wouldn't be were I am now.
To sum it all up....... it doesn't matter where we think our destination will be, we have these preconceived notions but God molds and shapes us for His own good purpose through the journey it takes to reach the destination. And 9 times out of 10, what we thought was the destination was just another part of our real journey with God, Him leading the way, us with lamp in our hand, one step at a time. Because if He ever showed us what He really had planned for our life, we would be too afraid to move forward at all.
