A city girl in the Sticks

A good thought

This year began difficultly for our family; the kind of things that make you take stock of who you are, what you believe and why.  In general I like questions like these, but recently not so much.
Knowing God has often been like being part of some great symphony.  As we all kept our eyes on the Great Conductor we would flow melodiously together, some times needing to tune our instruments, sometimes needing to put more work into the piece, but because we all had the same 'sheet music' and practiced together, we flowed.   The recent past has felt like loosing my instrument.  It doesn't matter that I know where to practice, have the sheet music or even show up, without my instrument I cannot be part of this beautiful piece.
Yesterday, I cried out to God for answers; he is so merciful: he gave my husband these words (I am paraphrasing them - so please bear with me) :

When musicians record music, they can't hear how what they're doing fits into the piece unless they put on headphones.  They record in a vacuum to have the purest sound.  You are still 'making music',  don't doubt that you are being heard.  I can hear the music you make.  Maybe, right now you don't have head phones and you feel the vacuum around you, but don't ever doubt: you are making music.

So, today I begin a new week, with new hope: I AM making music.  Like I've always been told, it's not about what I feel - I can't trust my feelings.  So onward I go, with a new thought: whether or not I feel like I'm making music, I am.
