The *Magic* In Me

This is where the *magic* happens.  I say that kind of tongue-in-cheek because such an expression usually denotes something amazing.  And my musical skills are anything but.  I can barely find my way around the keyboard to play a few chords.  I don’t know the first thing about songwriting or musical composition. Yet somehow these songs come out of me.  

That’s what makes it so magical, so amazing.  It’s nothing of my own doing.  It doesn’t come from study, training, practice, skill, or experience.  It just happens.  Like magic.

Of course there is no such thing as magic.  But there is a God.  And that’s where this music in me comes from.  God has put this music in me, and God brings out the music in me.

Perhaps someday I will learn more about music-making and playing the piano.  Then I can compose and play the songs as I hear them in my mind – they are so much more beautiful than the way I can play them.

But for now, I’ll just keep writing and playing them as best I can.  Allowing God to show, through all that limits me, that He is limitless.  Allowing God to supply abundantly in all that I lack.  Allowing God to work wonders where I don’t know how things work. 

Allowing God to continue to amaze me and to continue to be the *magic* in me.
