So what shall I write about today?
Noah's soccer game? No, I'll hack Mom's blog and put it there.
Our excursion to the Huntington? Fine, you get one picture. I'm not terribly happy with most of them.
How about my new calling then? Yes, that will do. I'm the Primary pianist in my ward now. Primary is the Sunday School for kids 4-11, and they spend a certain amount of every Sunday with "singing time." The chorister used to be one of my Young Women leaders, so we already know how to work with each other.
But here's the thing. I took my last piano lesson at 15 and I can hardly accompany myself sometimes.
And my first day was Mother's Day, when the kids sang in sacrament meeting (read: I had to play in front of everyone). Luckily, I had time to put some work into it and the Lord qualifies those He calls. My playing wasn't a disaster. Not fabulous, but not a disaster either. Now I have motivation to achieve the goal I made at the beginning of the summer to get good at piano again. Funny how things work that way.
I'm the primary chorister! You can play with me!
ReplyDeleteSorry for stealing your thunder. I'm sure your day topped mine anyways.
ReplyDeleteI hate being called as a pianist. I mean, you're right that the Lord blesses you, but not without a bit of stress. Haha. You'll do a great job I'm sure.
Tell me more of your productive day!
Heh! It's funny how the Lord does that. I'm sure you'll do great at your calling! I'm excited to see how you play when you get back! :D
