After 3 weeks of this craziness called the music major I find myself wishing it was a summer camp. A camp from which I could now go home and then get excited to return to. Instead I have to find it in me to be excited about making music the most important thing in every single waking (and sleeping!) moment for the next four years. Scratch that. I know there is no way in the world I can find that kind of strength on my own...but I do believe God can. I wish I could find a blog entitled "How to survive being a Christian music major" aka "How to survive being One in a Million and not cave".
Sadly, I haven't stumbled upon such a heaven sent blog...but then again have I? Isn't the Bible God's blog for every situation? In the past two weeks I have worked so incredibly heard to stick to the practice rooms in order to avoid having to interact with everyone who was out partying the night before, but is that the advice God's "blog" gives?
This blog isn't a how to survive college/music as a Christian, because I have no idea how the heck that's gonna happen...instead, this blog is going to be me figuring out how to surviving and sharing God's successes and my failures along the way. I want to study God's "blog" from the perspective of where I'm at and what I'm investing myself in everyday. I want to discover others, may they be composers from the baroque or romantic era, or modern band leaders, people who have put their heart and soul into their music all the while remembering that their most important fandom is an audience of one.
So, blow by blow, I'm going to type out how God works in this new part of my life. Because to be perfectly honest, I'm already emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted, and that is because I've been trying to make this "college" thing work all by myself. But I don't have to, no one does...because God is here...all the time, in every practice room, cheering me on, willing me to glorify him with every note.
GODS GOT THIS.
