I used to love playing the piano. Used to play them everyday till on some days my family members had to ask me to stop playing! This piano has been with us for about 25 years now.
Anyways when i left for Sibu, i didn't have much chance to play as the place where i stayed had no piano and though some kind folks did allow me to play the piano in their house , it still was not the same.So it seemed that i kinda lost interest in the piano a bit.
When i got transferred back,I was so caught up with the wedding prep and also moving homes that the piano was still a white elephant in mums house.Subsequently the piano was transported to my place in Bandar Sunway. You would think i would have played since its already in my house but think again. Adjusting my life to the new school and new life took my time away from the piano.
I would just look at it as I enter the house and as i leave and make a mental note to myself all the time to take some time to play and rest my fingers on it. I remember there were times i sat awhile to play but often it was just but a few minutes.
Then just the last week , my mum who was in my place, looked me in the eye and said" Sheena, you got to go back to playing the piano".
Just one sentence.She has said it before, i remembered.But this time it really strike a chord in my heart.It caused me to pause a while and ponder. Have u had that kind of feeling before?
This piano has done a lot for me.Grandma and Dad bought it for us.
Whenever i was sad or had no where to go to, i would sit on the piano and play my hearts out and cry out to God to help me. It was like therapy for me.
That night i made myself sit on the piano. I played some songs i knew.I felt my heart being set free.I felt being close to God once again in my own special way.
Since that day, i have parked myself at least 20 min everyday on the piano stool, my fingers gently running on the black and white notes.
Very liberating. Very refreshing
Thank you God for knowing what ticks me and bringing the right person(mum) to remind me of it.Thank you mum for allowing yourself to be used by God even in this small little area of my life.

I love music. I think especially Christian music is one of the ways to help us to connect with God & refreshes our soul.
Sheena, you play the music on the piano beautifully. I love your playing & enjoy listening to it. Please continue to play... Would love to play with you:-)

What good news that the piano is no longer a white elephant but is returning to the glory of what it is designed for - to produce beautiful music when played by someone who loves to do it....in a way we are God's piano and He'd love to play His music through our lives...may your piano playing be one way by which He liberates you to produce beautiful 'music' in your life...
Hi there, I thought I'd just drop a line since I've been round a few times and didn't find anything new.. :-) Guess you must be super busy and was not able to tell us more of what's been happening with you.. Any way, may you still find time to run your fingers on the keys of the piano and make some heavenly music.. :-) tc...lu...
