Harmony

"I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free. His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me."- His Eye is on the Sparrow

If you know me well you know that I am crazy about one instrument. That instrument is the piano. I have played and taken lessons since I was five so I'd like to say that I'm experienced. The piano is beauty in my life. It's my escape and my friend.

One of the things I've learned in my years playing the piano is that in order to make beautiful music you must know how to harmonize. The notes that you play need to be in the same key or have some sort of connection to each other. If you put together two notes that don't mesh you won't get a pleasing sound.

Maybe you can relate that to your life. Do the things that are in your life plan and that you want to do and you're comfortable and everything sounds good. Do the things that make you uncomfortable and sometimes it ends up badly. You never want to make the same mistake again.

There are these things in music called the major and minor keys. The major keys always sound precise and correct and everything is good with them. The minor keys are a little off. They sound darker. However, some of the most beautiful pieces I have ever played were written in the minor key. I challenge you, play in the minor key. Do things that you think don't sound so great in the beginning and maybe you'll get something beautiful out of it.

God made you for a purpose. Yes he has planned your life but he didn't create you just so you could stay in your little comfort zone. Nobody will ever be reached if we all stay in our comfort zone. Do things that challenge you and let God take you on a journey.

"Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise." James 5:13
