Beginner's blog

Have you ever wanted to do something, but been put off because everyone you know that does that thing is mega-brilliant? When I was learning to drive, the process was made trickier by the fact that my driving instructor was fantastic. I so wanted to be like him, but instead I kept clipping kerbs, stalling at traffic lights, and countless other mistakes. With a lot of practice on my part, and patience on his, I passed first time (and reader, I married him!!).

Well, learning to play the guitar is one of the things I'd wanted to do, and when Chris started his guitar lessons a few years back, I thought I would have a go. It was a lot like learning to drive actually - instead of your feet doing different things, it's your hands, and at times it was very frustrating. We were all in the same boat though, and had a lot of laughs (and chocolate) while we learned. Chris was amazingly patient with us, but he challenged us every week to move on in our playing. The best thing was, after the first week, we could play a song. Actually, with just a few chords under our belt, we could attempt several songs, and that was really encouraging.
Two years on, and I'm leading worship in a kinship group. That wasn't my motivation for learning - I just wanted to be able to worship Jesus on my own. I still don't know that many chords - but you know Jesus didn't choose highly trained professionals - He called those people who were willing to follow Him. I'm still learning, and I just thank God for the chance to serve Him.

So - if you harbour a desire to play the guitar, but are holding back, why not give it a go this autumn? Sore fingers are a small price to pay for being able to praise Jesus! Speak to Chris about coming along. And if you're beginner + (like me!), then think about going to the kinship worship leaders' jamming sessions - if only so I don't have to play on my own so that Chris can hear all my mistakes!!!
