As Far As Music Is Concerned

Music...

This has always been a big part of who I am, from childhood, I remember singing and dancing with my mom in the mornings and afternoon at age four and five, when my brother was at school and my dad at work. I wasn't in school as yet, so it was just my mom and I at home.

I later started pre-school at six, and primary at seven. My primary school had music as a subject, and it was here that my love for it grew even more.

From age seven I started singing, during the hym practice we would have for assemblies and the music classes where we'd play the xylophone and learn about music. At eight, I officially joined the junior choir and I loved being a part of it for years, until I joined the youth band at church in high school, at 14.

The rest is history really.

From learning to play the cello after this and every other part of my musical journey. Music for me and every step through it has been specially curated by God. I say this because the interesting thing is, at no point in this journey did I consciously decide to take these steps lol. Honestly, at every point, after getting into something I would stop and ask how we ended up here, it has been so beautiful and interesting. Each step has been a surpirse for me, even joining the choirs I've been in have never really been a conscious decision, not even playing the cello.

Music is a journey only God has walked me through, the most beautiful thing happened during this week. On Sunday during the youth service, God gave me a song. I've never written one before, well I've tried but instantly hated them lol. Not that I'm a bad writer but it always felt empty and incomplete, but thhis one was perfect. I don't have any instructions to share it, so it's for me until then.

I don't know where this road will lead me, how far I will have to walk and where I'll end up, but that one moment made me realise the importance of God's direction. Trust Him, He writes the best stories.

I leave you with this: Proverbs 3:5-6
