Playing

You know, I've really begun to notice how lucky I am to be able to do something that I love and get paid for it. I've only been drumming for a few years now and have begun playing for a couple of bands that actually pay me. It's great!!! I didn't know if I'd ever be able to make a living at drumming, but it looks like it's actually a possibility. It really makes me stop and think about all the times I have travelled, set up, and played for hours for nothing, and that makes it all worth it. I can't describe the feeling I get when I'm behind the drums, and getting to make awesome music with some really great musicians. The opportunities that are being presented to me are really humbling. I never dreamed that I'd be in a position to do something that is so amazing. God has truelly blessed me with more than I ever deserved. To think that he's allowing me to do this and make a buck is something else. I only hope that I can continue to show my gratitude by continuing to live a life for Christ and be a light to those that I get to perform with and perform for. If I can touch even one life in the process, then it's all worth it. One thing I've really had to stop and pay close attention to is that I make sure to not let selfish pride take over. It's not about me and what I do up on stage behind the drums that matters, but what I do off stage and how I live in the presence of others, and when by myself. If anone reads this and has any questions, please comment and I'll repost with an answer. Via Con Dios
