I am trying to commit to do two new things daily. 1) Read my bible. 2) Play my guitar. My fingers have full-blown calluses on them now, so I can practice longer without feeling like my fingers are going to explode (they would get so swollen and painful!). What's weird is that I've just (seriously) started teaching myself and I've written 1 song and one verse/hook of another. They are Christian songs, and they just seem to spill out of me. It's weird. I got one in the shower, part of the other in a dream, and the rest in an hour after my morning devotional. I can "hear" whole arrangements in my head, all the instruments together and separated, I just don't know how to play them all (yet) or write the notes for them.
I'm not claiming they are awesome, and what's weird is that my desire to "be" something is slowly giving way. I have been so discontent lately, and now that I'm forcing my focus with my two new habits, it's just well, weird. A year ago if I would have been able to write, I would have been so excited about playing/singing it somewhere. Now I just want it to be right and if someone else can add to it/play it correctly, use it for worship somewhere...that would be more fulfilling to me.
Anywho, maybe if I get more confident with the guitar, I'll record these and put them somewhere...we'll see.
:)
