There are some moments in life that I wish would never end. Usually when I’m in the midst of one of those special moments, I make a note to myself so that I will remember, “This is what I love to do; this is where I love to be.”
Last weekend, I played my violin in a wedding for the first time. I was extremely excited and honored that I was chosen to play, even more so because it was for two very special people. I played Pachelbel’s Canon during the processional with Ah-Young (cello) and Brenda Heinen (piano). I am starting to get over my fear and anxiety of playing in front of people, and as we were playing Friday night at the rehearsal, I started to swell with emotion. There wasn’t a single other place I would have rather been that night than playing my violin. I felt like I was in the perfect place being the musician; I felt content and so very thankful that God has given me my musical talent. Someday I do want to be the bride walking down the aisle to make a lifelong commitment to my true love, but until then I’m happy to be the one providing the music. :)
