For those of you who don't know, I play the cello. I really love it! It's such an AMAZING instrument, and it has a beautiful sound. I've been playing since 6th grade, and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon!
I just recently switched from a 3/4 size cello to a full size cello, and there is a ENORMOUS difference! The only way I can describe it is from going from a little kid guitar with plastic strings to a Fender guitar with an Amp the size of a car. ;) Anyway the intervals between notes is VERY far, and I'm having a hard time getting it down.
NCHO(North Central Honor Orchestra) tryouts are coming up, and the music is as hard as ever. I was looking at the music tonight and trying to translate it into English when I realized "this is HARD! I'm NEVER going to get this!" It was at this frustrating moment that I realized that I couldn't get it, not by myself. So I prayed. "God, help me to get through this, because I can't do this without some help and motivation." It's so true! God is always there for you, no matter how small the task. He's never going to leave, and with Him, all things are possible. So my cello problems? Still there, but it's getting better.
Anything that you are struggling with that God has helped you to overcome?

God is helping me work through some crazy stuff right now. If you'd like to hear, just pull me aside some day! Excited to read your blog!
Ummm... Thingd with friends. My dad, I'm helping plan a wedding, and I'm thinking God please please help me!
Ahh, NCHO is killer.
I never did it when I took violin (probably why I converted to vocal ;) )
I guess I'm struggling with listening to God and seeking him everyday. I just need to have the discipline to not get distracted.
