LETTER—A few months ago I followed something in my heart and started taking piano lessons. At the age of 40 I'm going to do what? The first day, my instructor asked me why I was starting lessons and the only response I could give was that this desire entered my heart because of God. That honestly was the only truth I knew and so I followed.

As I listened to Something Revealed,The Raindrop, the pieces of this mystery of my life slid into place. I realized that when I play, I feel my heart uniting with God in a way I have not ever experienced and I find myself lost in Him.

I had a lesson after I listened to this podcast. I have been struggling with a certain piece of music for a few weeks and this day was no different. As I fought my way through the song, I was struck by Him. My head fell and a tear ran down my face as I explained to Sister Patty Ann that this piece of music is just like my prayer life and my relationship with God. I pray and pray and pray, trying to be perfect in my life and in my relationship with Him. Easily forgetting that He is in charge, not me. After this revelation, for the first time, I played that piece perfectly because I let Him take control and I let go of my need to be perfect. It was the most beautiful piece of music I have ever played because it was His song, not mine.

Sister knowingly asked, "What is going on here?" My only response, "Manna."
