Sometimes you just need a gentle reminder that you are on the right path.
Even though I love my school and what I am studying, I still have those moments where I'm not sure if I'm on the right path- it may only last for a second or two, but that feeling is still there...
But God works in such an amazing way that when I have one of those moments, He gives me a reminder of why I am where I am/why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Being home on spring break has been a great reminder as to why I am where I am. There's just something about coming home to family and friends who love and care about you that reminds you as to why you are who you are.
As I spent my evening with two of my favorite young men, I was reminded of this. These boys never fail to make me laugh and smile.
As I sat watching the older boy practice his violin for Solo & Ensemble Contest, I couldn't help smiling and thinking of how far he has come. This reminded me of how far I have come on my trumpet, but yet how much there is still to learn. It reminded me of my first time at Solo Contest when I was so nervous-but everything ended up going very well. And then I thought about Contest my senior year of high school when I had only prepared my solo for a week and a half, and somehow managed to get a superior rating.
Always remember why you are doing what your are doing. For me, this means reminding myself why I play the trumpet: because I want to, not because my parents want me to, not because a friend wants me to, but because I want to play the trumpet and use the talent that God gave me to bring joy and happiness to others.
