<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I got this email from a friend speaking in excitement about their opportunity to possibly go to a recording studio in the near future. They were talking of a free recording studio sitting with friends who were near professional instrumentalists and good background vocals…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

and green slipped in<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was odd how excited I was for my friend…. and yet how over-my-head it all felt. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
It’s funny how intimidating it felt to be asked if I would help with some of the building blocks…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
and I realised that I’m not talented enough to make anything but plain music.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I’ve been dreaming….<\/div>\n
banging out Truth on a church piano late at night<\/div>\n
I can’t even play the piano, but something arose within me that made me think just maybe I could try.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And I sing the same few songs over and over….<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

plaguing my neighbor’s ears…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

because it’s what God gave me…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

what He’s taught me…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And I’ve been dreaming in the car…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

But I really don’t think I have much to offer.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I really can honestly tell you, cyberworld, that there are 5 million other people out there that have better voices, greater ranges, and more skills than this twenty-something wanna-be dreamer. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And it was quite scary to admit the reality as the type came before me that I just don’t have that skill level…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

that’s just way out of my league.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
