Too Sick To Audition
Sometimes He heals us outright. Sometimes He gives us the strength to get through our challenges.
My piano teacher is
not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but she knows
that some of our members are called to play the organ. One time she encouraged
me to audition for a scholarship to learn the organ. I decided to audition so
that I could learn to play the organ in order to serve in church.
The morning of the audition, I woke up extremely sick. My mom
said our family would be praying for me. When we got to the audition, my dad
told the judges I wasn't feeling very well. Before I began playing, I said a
little prayer in my heart. I asked Heavenly Father for His help, especially if
He wanted me to play the organ at church. As I began to play I felt as if
someone else was playing. I didn't feel sick but instead was just amazed to
watch my fingers move. Before I knew it, I finished all my songs and I don't
remember making any mistakes.
As soon as I got off the bench, the sickness returned and my
dad took me home to rest. I slept all day until my mom woke me that evening to
tell me I'd won the scholarship. I know Heavenly Father wanted me to learn to
play the organ and listened to my prayer. I've truly felt the Lord's hand in my
life. I'm so grateful for the talents He has blessed me with, because as I share
them and use them to serve, He strengthens and blesses me.
