Distractions are BAD!! Keep your focus! ooOoOoo SHINY!! ;)

Today, my orchestra met for rehearsal before school starts to get our first pieces. I was super nervous at first and afraid that everything was going to be so hard, but I survived and I loved it!! It was so great to be surrounded by people sincerly trying to learn the music and enjoying every moment of it. I love chamber!!! Okay, so unfortunately today was kind of a hectic day getting ready for back to school, going to rehearsal, and then going to a church activity. So, I didn't practice. I blew it!!! And only on day 3 of my new goal! The good news is I know what I need to be more careful of in the future. A good part of my day was spent doing things that were important but that could wait. So here's a hint. When you have too many tasks on that to-do list, Put first things first. I find myself constantly getting distracted from the most important things and then lose confidence in myself because I didn't get done what I promised myself I'd do. The good thing is habits can change as we set goals! "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." I'm not perfect. My weakness: distractions. My strength: the Lord. Tomorrow I will practice first thing in the morning. I've got lots of new pieces to work on, but I still need to practice region music! :)
