This is a vision that started when I was about 21 years old.

My sister was in a church where she was singing in the choir. Those days I didn’t attend church much but were longing to have a relationship with Jesus Christ from the age of 11.

One day, before a church conference, the lady that was leading the choir wanted a person who can play lead electrical guitar for her. Then my sister told them that I can play and she will ask me. I never thought that I’ll ever play on stage and those days it was only a hobby to do when I didn’t have anything better to do. So I went to try, although I wasn’t very good at that time. I went for the practice and it was a nightmare. I couldn’t read or play even half of the chords they were playing. So I prayed and ask God; if You want me to play, then I will. Even though I didn’t have a good relationship with God I thought I’ll try. My life was a big mess and I had a lot of sin, I didn’t even think God will even hear my prayer. After practice I told them I need the chords to practice, that was the Wednesday. The person who was playing the organ told me he will have it ready by Thursday but something came up and he couldn’t bring it to me.

Well, the Sunday came and I still didn’t have any chords. Before the service was starting, some of the people who saw I was at practice told my sister that I shouldn't play because I never attended the church. Then they went to the pastor’s wife and told her the same. Well I didn’t practice so I was relived. But then the pastor’s wife started crying and said she had a vision of God that I should play. Then I went to the prayer room before the service and couldn't stop stressing, all I could think about was that I didn’t know even one song. So we walk up the stage and started playing… I of course, acted like I was playing but had a wonderful experience with God.

After a few weeks I felt eager to play again, I wanted that feeling again. I played in a couple of churches and youth after that but just keep on making mistakes and feel nervous. But there is one thing that keeps me going… I don’t do this for myself or anyone else but for God. This vision in my heart won’t stop and this blog-site is built on faith, I will be an instrument in God’s hands.
