Audio version of the Word

I just got a audio version of the Word. :)

Since i'm a very very slow reader, by hearing i can let the Word to go into my brain faster and hopefully it will gets to my heart.

For these 2 days, i had been trying to save it into my computer so that the CD will be get too hot and i also can hear it in the mp3 player. The audio version had a brief introduction to every book. I had just completed saving the OT into my computer. While saving it, i heard some part of what is mention. My brain feel like "Wow". There is so so much more that i don't know of.

But knowing is one thing, letting it able to be part of my lifestyle is another. Just as i had decided roughly how i'm going to use audio version of the Word to help me in knowing and letting it to continue change my heart, i will stick to it no matter what surprised might come on the way. I prayed that let my memory be one that will be useful to bring the Word into my heart at the correct time and season that i may have a responsive soft heart to response in the way that pleased Him alone.

I do still have struggles along the way.. But He never gives up and forgets about on me. To this will i hold on to until the task is fully completed.

Hi anyone know the theory behind how to press the slash chords of the guitar? Can teach me so that i will know how to play more accurate chords?

Secondly, regardling the keyboard, how to play the inbetween chords? Is it for example in the key of C, the inbetween chords can be a varies of C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am and B for the right hand or for both hands when they didn't mention any chords to play?

1 down, 2 to go

I just finished my corporate accounts paper today. I have one tomorrow morning at 8am and the other one at 11am on thursday. I think after these 2 papers i can sleep immediately. I don't quite like this semester exam timetable, i think i might be one of the first few people studying in uq that finishes the earliest. Thinking of what should i be do after my exams? I treat it as a motivation for me to study now. So that i will look forward to after exams.

Importance of Obedience

That wild dog yesterday really scare me the whole night. I don't quite like dog but i'm scare of wild dogs. Cause i feel that it can be very crazy and out of control sometimes. Since it didn't go through any training or it will not obey to anyone. Some people might like dog who train or obey to the master, but i don't think there will be that much people who will like wild dog that no one knows what it will do the next moment.

That struck me a bit. Realising the importance of actually obeying to God and everything that God has instructed. It is not just obeying because i have to but obeying because i want to be train to walk in His ways. It is not very pleasant all the times, especially if i'm being discipline but it is required and good for me. God help me to continue to obey everything that you said.

My keyboard

My keyboard has arrived last few days. It is a simple keyboard with is the best i could have now to learn keyboard. Someone asked me, "Are you learning keyboard or guitar now?" I'm learning both. I don't think i will ever stop learning keyboard or guitar, there is always so many ways to improve myself no matter how many songs i can play. Cause in the beginning of the year when i finally took up the guitar that i had for birthday present (which is the best present i ever had) and really get serious with it and practice it everyday for a few minutes at least until sometimes i can't really feel my fingers, it has became that hard and rough.

During that time, i had made up my mind that any instrument that i pick up or learn i will treat it as a form of expressing how good God is. I remembered the first time when i played during the pre-cg prayer. Oh my gosh, i had no idea what M's fingering means. At that moment, i'm thinking in my head, what does M's little finger means. Then i just continue playing and wait for M to sing the first word so that i will know what is the meaning of M's little finger. After that first experience, i learn something new, "little finger" means "last line". So the first time, i only strum down and try to go with the beat of the song.

The second time was an experience that i feel like "dug a hole and hid myself inside it until the whole song ends". I start learning how to strum. But somehow, the strumming and the changing of chords is not the same as how everyone was singing. It is either i change too fast or change too slow until they must pause a bit to wait for me to see when i will change the chord. That is quite stressful. In my mind i think, i don't think the leader will ever put in to play for prayer, cause i'm so bad at guitar. I remember that night, i went back and had a good talk with God. After that talk, I made up my mind no matter what the outcome is, no matter how good or how bad i played, i will still use guitar as a form of expressing how great and wonderful God is. So in my own quiet time, i still play the guitar and pray. At times, i think to myself, will God actually don't like it cause i'm really bad at guitar, will He find it a noisy?

Then i remember someone shared one thing in church before, that God is like a Father who will sit beside a kid who try to play a keyboard, even though that kid is playing one finger and pressing one key at the time, the Father comes and sit beside that kid and played the fill in chords and made it a beautiful music.

Then i made a simple prayer before God, that let me be like that kid who with what i know play a song to Him and let him comes in and complete the whole song. But at the same time, i hope that one day i can made a song out of my heart and able to play it out for Him, and that send someone to teach me how to play guitar, so that this might be possible. And God answered my prayer to send someone to teach me. Different ones taught me at different stages.

When i was roster down to play to cg or prayer, especially cg, i will feel very inadequate cause i don want to because of my lack of skill in guitar that cause the P&W leader to be stressful of what songs to choose that they feel that God might want to speak to His people through it. So first thing, i continue to maintain my relationship with God even though i admit sometimes i'm quite "naughty" and secondly i practice guitar to the best of ability that i know of. Not sure if it is working well or not, i will evaluate myself maybe end of the year. I think i heard from someone before that as a musician the most important aspect is to have a close relationship with God and the second aspect is to support the P&W leader to lead His people closer to Him.

Now that my keyboard has just arrived, in my heart i wanted to be able to learn the keyboard well at the same time still practice on my guitar cause my guitar is still quite bad. Not because there isn't anyone who can played in the cg in fact there are quite a number of talented musical in the mist who played much better than me in all ways. I had made up my mind and heart a quite sometimes ago when i just started learning guitar that whether or not i will to play in prayer or cg, i will not stop using guitar to worship God in my quiet time with him. Cause i really really wanted to be like that kid who is with the Father when he or she play the limited random key and the Father will come and sit beside that kid.
