Creativity comes in many forms.
Today I had the opportunity to attend a wonderful fireside given by the sisters of the late Sister Marjorie Pay Hinckley for our Stake's Relief Society. In addition to showing how important it is to have fun in life and laugh through every minute of it, enjoying every second, I had the honor of performing a musical number with my roommate Arielle.
We performed an arrangement of How Great Thou Art, with Arielle playing the cello, while I played the piano. To say that I was nervous would be an understatement; I only saw the sheet music for the piece the first time last Sunday. But I was willing and able to play.
We were the closing the number. Despite my nervousness and the fact that I was shaking the entire time I was playing, one thing I knew: the Spirit was most definitely there and its presence was strong, very strong. It was an experience I don't know I will ever be able to repeat, but I won't ever forget. I won't deny that the Lord lives and that He loves us for who we are, wherever we may be in life. I certainly received a reminder of that awesome truth today.
That was definitely an amazing experience! I'm glad we could do it together. :)
