I am glad to say that I have been blessed by the family that God has given me. Two wonderful parents who are strong in their faith in God and who raised me in a Christ-centered environment. Two brothers who are sometimes a pain in my neck, but at other times they bless with me unknown facts about certain subjects and with their talents.
Preston, my younger brother, is basically a piano prodigy. He's been playing piano for 6 years. 4 years have been under the instruction of my Mom and the other 2 years have been under the instruction of Dr.Benton from MBU. Sometimes I honestly want to slap him because of how much he knows about music. I'm still trying to keep up with the new
things that I learn about music.....and he already knows it.
Greg, my older brother, is a guitar master. He's been playing guitar for about 10 years and he can play circles around me. His knowledge of the guitar inspires me to learn more.
Both of my parents were Music Education majors in college, but my Dad switched his major in his Senior year to Business Administration. My guess is that he was not a fan of Sight Singing/Ear Training...haha, just kidding.
Being raised in a God-centered home and a musical family is a huge blessing to me because I have learned so much about life, music, singing, faith, and so much more.
Being apart of my parent's music ministry has taught me a lot and has helped me put mine together. Knowing what to do in certain venues and in certain situations is very important in having an effective music ministry.
With all of that said, I am truly thankful for the family that I have and I hope you feel the same way about your family.
Even if your family doesn't seem like the best, God has given you your family for a reason. They were placed in your life to raise you, inspire you, protect you, care for you, clothe you, feed you, love you, and for all sorts of reasons.
Cherish your family, even if it seems impossible.
Blessings,
