Looking shortly back in time, I am able to realize I cannot compare my life to dullness, but to the unexpected. Three months ago I saw myself drawning in the deepest well I have ever seen myself in. Classes at work were reduced, and so was the money. I wanted deeply to move before my roommate got married, but then I guess I would not be able to sleep in peace, as she does need someone to help out with the bills. I did not imagine I could play the violin, or even be chosen by God. Even be sane again….or healed from the phantom of depression.

If I look back a bit further, just a year back I started going to the Presbyterian church. Recently, being able to study the words of God 4 times a week seem not enough due to the wonders I have learned and the view of the world it gives me now. At this very same time last year I was invited to the church´s anniversary. I remember standing at the end of the celebration and being presented and welcomed to the members as a new visitor. One year later I´m taking part of the celebration by singing together with some other members of the church. My time to please God…

Violin classes also started 2 months ago. I also decided to take the classes at church, and I expect that in one year´s time I´ll be playing together with the orchestra. I´m glad it seems easy so far. Im glad I do feel I have the makings of playing such a beautiful instrument…

I have mentioned taking less group classes this semester. However, people started contacting me for private classes. That has allowed me to work less, earn more, and have fun with private students. It is a total different pace, and I have been giving special value to anything that´s different and rewarding now. I tutor 5 students who are fashion designers for a well known company in Brazil. They´re really fun and dedicated people, and their progress do make me feel of the work I have been doing.

Gym, have i mentioned gym?? This is something good that the lack of groups at school brought me: Time for gym! . I have been going there everyday, and I just cant get even tired of the great amount of Spinning, Body pump, or Jump Fit classes. Weight lifting? Naaah…hate it! It is amazing how exercises and healthy food can make one feel great.  Now I wonder what is really more valuable… time or money..

In a nutshell, life just seems not a different as anyone else´s. Full of ups and downs, a lot not even mentioned here. The difference is that the Christian ideals I have got now, make me face life in a very different way. A more optimistic one at times. At this point in life, I really don’t know what to expect. Plans have been a bit hard to map out and to accomplish as well. One thing is for sure though: my faith and everything related to it is surely going to turn me into a better, much better human being.

Have a great day, all… Let me now play with my “Premium” toy…
