Music for the LORD

Usually, when I’m on my way to Orchestra practise, I think, “oh, great. Boring”  but today was different. I looked at the door of the music room and thought to myself , “ music is a good thing” So, I played my violin for the Lord and actually enjoyed it! Music is really the kind of thing that you have to like.  No matter what genre it is.  Music has been part of my life since I was 9, when I started my violin, five years later here I am, still playing away, I love it more then ever and I’m beginning to play for churches, old people and the Salvation Army.  Music can do a lot of things, it can make you feel inspired, happy, sad, angry, or passionate.
The melody of some songs makes me dance around in my room or cry at the piano.  I think of the song, “Teardrops on my Guitar” and I think that teardrops of my piano is more my story.

There is in souls a sympathy with sounds: And as if the mid is pitch’d the ear is pleased with melting airs, or martial, brisk or gave; Some chord in unison with what we hear Is touch’d within us, and the heart replies.
~William Cowper
