I am so giddy with excitement and anticipation! Twenty years of frustration with a substandard instrument, literally retarding my skills; twenty years of praying for intervention have finally come to an end.
I have been a church organist for 20+ years but have just recently...very recently been blessed by God with a new to us church organ. It has been quite a journey getting it here and the journey will continue as we learn and grow together, the tool and worker. I will make art as I learn how to join the congregation with the organ to sing God's praise. I will make art as God leads in a ministry of music through the organ in His church.
He has worked this out in so many obvious ways; He has timed each detail down the the final seconds. Time and work continue as we get closer to the first sounds of the new organ blending with the voices of the congregation.
God is The Artist and He is blessing me to be an artist too.
Thank you Emily for your inspiration, I'm looking forward to reading your book A Million Little Ways.
