How was everyone's Easter? Mine was fun but really busy. Filled with praise & worship practice on Saturday with my church band/team & leading Easter Sunday's worship. Stupid me though left out one song out of the powerpoint. Luckily it was an old-school song that everyone in the congregation knew it. 0.o I still can't believe I missed it.
So my sister and I went to go see
Rent this Saturday. And it really saddens me to say that I really didn't get it. Like I got the jist of it but I didn't get everything. There were some parts that confused me. Either I'm really pathetic and stupid or I just really need to look into this musical and look at the lyrics of the song and maybe watch the movie in order to really like it. But I really did enjoy the songs and the cast was awesome. Heinz Winckler did an amazing job as Roger. He has a die-to-kind-of-voice. I couldn't really see his face though but I remember him being cute in World Idol. Haha. So he's got a pretty good package going on for himself. But I did have fun. Maybe the next time I watch it, I'll get it.
*hums One Song Glory*
It also snowed this morning. I woke up and looked outside my window and what do I see but white snow on the ground! It brought a smile on my face. I guess I don't share most people's opinion on the oh-too-long winter we had this year. I enjoyed shovelling the driveway and sidewalk and trecking down big snow banks and everything. It was a fun winter. =) I especially loved going out in the big snow storms and taking pictures.
Oh yea, and I've decided to take on the guitar. It's not the first time. I tried picking one up before but I'd only last like 3 minutes on it before I give up. But right now, all thanks to Jeana, I'm learning a really simple song called "
Heart of Worship" by
Matt Redman. I'm getting the hang of it I guess. I can feel the calluses growing or rather lack of feeling. My fingers are less sensitive to the pain of pressing down on the strings. Now my only problem is transitioning to the D chord. It's so hard! I just can't seem to get the hang of it. But despite all these challenges on the guitar I have to overcome, God convicted me last night about praying. I realized it's important to pray before I even start practicing the guitar. I know I can't do much with just my own effort and strength and that I need God. What's even more is that God gave me these fingers to use to glorify Him. And I need to give Him thanks for that and ask for help in playing this D chord. I mean, if he could create these fingers for my hands, then I'm sure he can help me play the D chord properly and transition to it from another chord. I'm really enjoying this whole learning process though.
