I finally get jazz!!

I'm so thrilled! I just sat at the piano and played 3 hours worth of jazz piano. Started my jazz lessons 2 weeks ago, and after 2 lessons, I'm FINALLY understanding what II-V-I means. You know how you surf the net and try to learn, and the lesson never really gets through because there was never anyone to demo the endless II-V-I stuff? I finally got it, and I'm so excited! Because I was actually playing stuff heard in Diana Krall's CD - my absolute fave jazz singer + pianist!


The other day the Lord reminded me something crucially important from Richard Foster's book Celebration of Disciplines, may this bless you.

3 inner attitudes to have if you want freedom from anxiety:
(1) If all you have, you receive as a gift
(2) If all you have is to be cared for by God
(3) If all you have is available to others

This is especially true when the 'what you have' is actually another PERSON.
