Well the speech thing is over and I must say it was a lot of fun.
Yup... a whole lot of fun...It was really great to meet so many other kid's, but now that it's over I am directing my attention to musical studies.
So why am I always tying everything into music you may ask?For me, music is a constant companion. It's a way of communicating how I feel without anyone knowing. For example if I am in an edgy mood, than I will usually play in a minor key. But if I am in a good mood than I will play a standard fiddle tune, or a slow complicated song. However if I am depressed or confused than I go back to basic scales and runs.. something I'm familiar with.
I believe that music is most enjoyable when you come to the place where you can feel it. Maybe it sounds silly to you but I believe that music is one of my greatest blessings.
I do sometimes.... many times struggle with pride and conceit but God is faithful to correct me and point me toward Christ. If it where not for His sovereign intervention I would be hopelessly lost and destined for damnation with no hope or desire for salvation. In the course of the past few years I have been confused about what it meant to put Christ first and foremost, especially in regards to music. I will not say that I am certain of where I am now, but I will say that when I look to Christ and not to myself I will find the answers to life's many questions.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the post Alex. I see that you have been searching a lot. Of course, Christ should always come first but He put the love of music in you so just always remember to glorify Him with it. I was happy to see that you were able to use it as well as your speech at the tournament. God is working in you. I love and miss you, Grandma Dot
