Free Guitar!!

My team always makes fun of me because I am a verbal processor. I typically am always willing to share with the members of my team what I am learning and things God is doing. Today I decided to share with all of you.

I don’t know why, but I am always so surprised when God answers silly prayers. When He answers them, i’ll often go on and on about how amazed and thankful I am. Today God answered a prayer and I wanted to tell you all about it!

A few months ago, God had really put it on my heart to learn the guitar. Being a poetry major, I love words and expressing them- but am not musically inclined. My team mate Trevor had a guitar, so I would borrow his and just try to teach myself. This is a tough process…and still very much in the works.

Two weeks ago I was kinda able to play my first song! I taught myself the chords to “Tear down the walls” by Hillsong United. I then showed off to my team, and they all gushed because it actually sounded sorta like a song and not just noise. I then prayed and asked God for a guitar. I knew that when I got home I would want to practice more, and write music. However, I have no job and no money.

I got an email yesterday that said I had received “Thank you” points from Citibank. I had exactly enough points to get a $100 gift card to Best Buy.
