Alexander Forbes At The Piano

This is my second Piano performance of my life and honestly, the anxiety felt like it had gotten worse. I was one of the last few to perform which only only caused my anxiety to build and build leading me to imagine how many ways things could go wrong that would lead to my failure. But if I quite now, all those hours of practicing would go to waste which honestly made me feel worse. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place which caused me to hate the Piano and hate that I chose to do this to myself. I forgot why I even wanted to sign up in the first place. This testimony is a great example on how difficult circumstances in life can make you forget why you started. As Christians we will face trials and tribulations that will make you want to quit and walk away from God because the Bible says that we will suffer for our faith in Jesus Christ, but we must always remember Let us never grow weary and doing good cause we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians:69. After my performance, I ended up placing third in the adult division and even though I didn't win, I cannot describe that euphoria I felt when I received that round of applause. I wanted to jump right back on that stage and do it all over again lol. I truly felt the love of God in fulfilling his purpose for my life.

This was my first public performance in my life and oh boy was my knee's shaking. Many people may think I'm an extrovert, but I'm actually a closet introvert. I occasionally experience, social anxiety, and one of the untold horrors of being an adult learner is that you perform alongside children half your age with double your skill. Looking back on this now, my confidence In God only grows because I still don't know how I made it through this performance. I remember my entire body locking up sitting on that bench before I started. I Remember taking a deep breath and saying a small prayer, then all of a sudden it was over. I truly believe the Lord took the wheel lol. Still to this day, I struggle to continue to give God full control over my life and all that I do but in this situation, I was all too happy to leave it all up to him. This is my testimony on how we shouldn't just give God control in scary and hopeless situations, but in all of our situation. (Romans 8:28)

I wanted my first video on this page to be a humble one. A video that obviously showed my mistakes and were I needed improvement. I wanted people know that just like this song, were all a work in progress and need time alone with God to be refined and pruned. With Piano this is done with hours and hours of practice that no one will ever see, but even then I still may make mistakes. similarly with consistent relationship with the Father we our encouraged, empowered and strengthen to overcome sin, doubts, distractions and any hindrances that block God's purpose in our lives. And even if you continue to make mistakes, Always continue to summit yourself to God who Loved u so much that he sent his only son to die for our sins.( Corinthians 5:21) So that we may be reconciled to him through Jesus Christ Amen.
