I do this every 6 months...It keeps me focused. LOL. Sometimes, I may not achieve a goal or two. But it's OK if I've tried my best.
Guess what? I'm teaching piano again... after 3 years of break. More for ministry/evangelistic purposes. Actually, I've been considering it since August, as someone asked me if I could teach. Honestly, I didn't feel up to it then. Prayed about it, but I didn't really give that person an answer for a while... The door seemed to close itself too ~ as that person found someone else more willing to teach. Hehe. Yeah. Oooops.
Just this week, my piano came back home after having spent a few days away, for God's service...happily and proudly displaying the 'marks' of its 'adventures' :P ...
I felt like the parent of a kid returning from the mission field! :D Relieved...
I was checking out those 'marks' and then... I felt that since this piano is an instrument God graciously provided me when I had prayed for one (I couldn't have afforded it on my own. In fact, it is amazing how God always provides me a good keyboard/piano when I ask Him for one. The last one I care-took for 2 years belonged to Laura - a brilliant Korg), I should be a more faithful steward of it. It is not so much about keeping its keys clean and shiny ~ hehe ~ but availing it more often for His Kingdom purposes, whenever needed. Even if it means more work - especially in preparing the material. If it's for God, I don't mind.
Then funny, today someone else (the exact person whom I've really wanted to reach out to for a long time ~ but never knew how. Her name is the 3rd out of 3 names on my Trinity Church Prayer Card ~ the other 2 have committed their lives to Christ already! Praise God! @_@) emailed me to ask if I could teach her piano...
...and insisted that she would pay for the lessons. @_@ Wow... my first taste of being a tent-maker... kind of. Hehe.
I tell you the truth. Nothing is a co-incidence. Nothing, nothing, nothing. And with God all things are possible!!!
Thank You, Lord! May this be the beginning of another beautiful experience.
I have a little more than one week to prepare to teach. God, please give me the wisdom and resources.
Like I said, next week's going to be really BUSY. Better prepare myself for it. Rest, rest, rest...
