We Interupt this Series...

A month or so ago, I wrote about my broken finger and how I was worried I wouldn't be able to fulfill my music obligations. Well, I think it's time a praise report was issued. My dad sent out an email to our church asking for prayer after I first broke it, and as a result, I was flooded with friends and family's prayers and encouragements. The news I first got back from the specialist doctor a few days later was that I would in fact to able to play as long as I was careful not to stress it. As you can imagine, that was a huge relief off of my shoulders as well as a clear answer to prayer. I played in my first concert without much trouble, and although it was a little painful, it went far better than I had hoped. I had another three weeks before my next two performances, and I continued to avoid playing on that figure directly, (substituting it with other fingers, etc). Although my situation was much better than it could've been, I was still getting discouraged that I couldn't play as well as I wanted with my injured finger. I totally did not deserve it, but the week before my next performance, the Lord took away all the pain and enabled me to play on my broken finger without any trouble whatsoever, and my performances went better than before my finger was broken! I still can't believe it. My next challenge is to try and fathom why such a great God would so lavishly bless an undeserving sinner like me. :)
