Okay Enough for Jesus.

Day 17: What is the thing you most wish you were great at?

I wish I was an excellent musician.  I love to sing and play instruments.  Whenever I look across my room and see my guitar sitting neatly against the wall, whenever I touch the smooth strings of my ukulele, whenever I sit at the bench of my keyboard, delight flutters in my heart.  Music always brings my heart joy.

Unfortunately, I am not naturally a musician.

Let me clarify.  When I practice, I improve.  I can play the guitar decently.  I'm working on ukulele more and more each day.  I'm okay at all of these things.

I often have the opportunity to lead worship.  It's a wonderful experience to get to sit at the feet of my Creator and play music next to my brothers and sisters.  It's so sweet.

But I always wish that music came more naturally to me.  I wish I had a better voice.  I would love to be a "great" musician, in talent more than fame.  No, I would never want to be a famous musician, but I would love to be great at it.

It's alright though.  I'm okay at music, and if that's okay enough for Jesus, then it's okay enough for me.
