I got a new guitar today!!! I've already fallen in love with it! I've already worshiped with it at Reality Carpenteria! I've already emailed friends about it!
I've been wanting a really nice plug-in guitar since a couple months before we left for the states (about February-ish). Originally, I had wanted to get one as soon as we landed here in the states, so that I wouldn't have to suffer being guitarless. My uncle Michael let me borrow is baby Taylor guitar. Because I had a guitar to play, I wasn't pressured to buy one, so I kept putting it off. Now that I look back, I'm glad that I did. This guitar that I just got sells for $1500 not encluding taxes (taxes would make it $1620). I got it for $1250: almost $400 cheaper.
Praise God!!!
He provides.
Getting the guitar would have made my day in its self, but God decided to add a cherry on top.
Last night I met Dominic. He's the worship leader at Reality Carpenteria. After simply meeting me and hearing that I was planning on getting a guitar he offered to take me the following day to Guitar Center. (How nice is that?!!!!) He's such a cool guy. We got to talk a little while we were driving there and on the way back.
...So I was trying to lead into the cherry on top...
Oh yeah...so just hours after buying the guitar, I got to help Dominic lead worship!!! It was such a rad worship time. I really felt that it flowed so easily, so gracefully. The songs were so joyous and heart felt. I think part of the joy I found in the worship was that feeling that you have when you have a brand new guitar under your arm, and when you strum it, it sounds clean and warm. I love that feeling. I am loving it more. I've already played it a lot since the worship time (that was only 3 hours ago) and I'm loving it more every time I play it.
Lord, I pray that you will use that bright, crisp sound that echoes out of my new guitar for your glory. I have just received it, but already I offer it up to you, Lord. May your name be glorified.
