Hello all,
This will be a quick and short blog. I cannot believe how much time has passed, but my recital is in nearly 3-4 days! I finally had a chance to perform my whole program in front of an actual audience last Friday night. It actually went really well...I'm getting more and more excited for Saturday! My program probably won't be totally perfect, but I cannot believe how much I've done the past 2 months to get ready for this recital. I guess I don't realize it as much, but I've progressed a lot since I started the piece (well, obviously...if not, I think I would be in trouble!)...
Anyway, as the "big" day approaches, I find myself thinking at the whole purpose of this recital. Yes, it is because I love performing. Yes, it is because I want to "practice" for my actual junior recital in October. But, I realize that there is a greater purpose: to worship God while playing music on the piano. That is ultimately my goal and the one thing that is honestly keeping me sane with the practicing right now, in this last week of cramming. No, it doesn't mean that I'm going to be lazy in practicing for the next few days, but I'm also not going to kill myself over practicing. I'm going to do my best for Him and Him only...not for anyone else in this life, but for Him.
I guess that's all for now...just had these thoughts in mind and figured I would share. I hope you are all enjoying your summer! May God bless you in this wonderful season of...heat! :)
