Hi ReeNikki,
I appreciate the "spirit" in which you asked the question! I don't know, by your name here, whether or not you are a male or a female -- but it doesn't matter -- I suspect you are a human being (lol), and I will address you as such!
I believe in the God of the Bible, "The Father (that would be a 'Him', The Son (Jesus) , and The Holy Spirit!" God is a Spirit, and requests that He be worshiped by His creation in "spirit and in truth!" Now, you can fill in the blank with "He, She, or It", and it won't change who God is... and that's a BEAUTIFUL thing! I don't know about you, but I LOVE having someone that I can take my problems to, that knows all about me, that hears me when I call on His Name!
I had a catastrophic accident 6 years ago... run over by a car while walking... on life support for 5 days, ICU, hospital for 25 and nursing home another 25 days or so. To look at me now, you would NEVER believe or imagine that happened... I saw soooo many miracles during that time... shucks, I AM A MIRACLE! lol
The only thing I can say, sweetheart, is that it's a wonderful thing looking at a new car, but it's an even better thing when you get to drive it! It would be a marvelous thing if you could forget, for one moment, about all the things you, or anybody else, thinks ABOUT God, and try Him out for yourself! I don't know if you have aches, pains, financial issues, relationship issues -- I have NO clue -- but I do know that we ALL have problems we wished were fixed -- it is the human condition! Why not lay down your ideas and theories, ans ask GOD to show Himself REAL to you... to teach you, Himself, who He is... I am sure He has no problem with you calling him a "She or an It" -- that's His business to fix... all I know is that He LOVES you more than you could imagine... Ask Him to do something for you today! Call Him on the carpet! Ask Him to produce a miracle in your life... and let me know what happens...
God bless you, I love you, and I sure do appreciate you for asking this question with such a sweet spirit!

Can we please acknowledge this black queen on the piano who held her own as well?!? Standing ovation to you as well!!!!!

I've been playing piano since I could walk. Learn how to play by ear when I was 7, 8. Started reading music when I was 13. Been playing for my church since I was 15, now 20 yrs later still playing.
That lady on the piano.....dang!! I never will be satisfied with my playing, always trying to learn and excel. How I hope one day I can get to her level.
Let me add that I don't want to be the best either. I only want to learn and be better because how many opportunities comes with it. I have accompanied many singers and the fellowship and praising and worshipping together on indescribable. Being able to accompany someone like this singer would be amazing and I'm sure the fellowship would be astonishing by itself.
Okay. Sorry to write a book on your comment but you said exactly what I was thinking and had to say something.
