My guitar...

I remember it was 10 years ago that I asked my dad if I can buy a guitar as birthday present for myself by using his credit card. I was very bored and I was in need of some entertainment and some moment to praise and worship God in my own personal time. Dad said yes... and there I was... made my way down to Kuala Lumpur, near Lot 10.... to be exact, opposite Lot 10, not Sungai Wang... the other side, Bentley is the name of the shop. I went.... saw a guitar with a colour and sound and brand that I wanted. To many, it's not a very expensive guitar, but yet, to buy a guitar with RM890 10 years ago, was not very cheap for me...especially when I have yet to earn a cent.... yet.... Dad knows how much I need a guitar... and so, i told myself, RM890 guitar shall last me for the next 10 years or more....

I was being asked to do praise and worship at the prayer meeting last night and so, I went... with my guitar. I didn't choose a plug-in guitar because all those days, I only play bass guitar in church and so, I thought, a non-plug-in should be enough. After all, I will need to add another RM300 if I want a plug-in acoustic guitar... so, I only choose the non-plug-in acoustic guitar... When I reached KK, my cousin helped me with getting a pick-up and so, I have been using that for the last 4 years...

Last night, as I was listening and praying... after my leading... I saw my guitar in front... it has served the Lord 10 years now.... be it in the cell group, in caroling, or in services and prayer meetings..........RM890 has somehow lasted 10 years now....and I am sure it will last for many more years to come.... as I was looking at my guitar, I just can't deny the fact that, I really love my guitar.... I really like it... its colour, its sound, its brand and .... it's faithfullness....!!!
