Hello. This is a kind of will you help me thread, coz there are times i find myself just wanting to sing when it is Not time to sing. I know there are countless times we are encouraged to sing in the Bible.. but there is also a time for everything. When i wake up in the middle of the night or very early at least, lines of a song come to mind and sometimes i do sing a line or verse.. then stop. When working on something, yes, it is not prohibited to sing, so i go abt either listening or joining in to something playing, or i try to find time to play (an instrument) myself, wc is not always possible to squeeze in in a day. But when i cannot play, say the piano or other, i feel rather tense. I welcome the church practice session for the worship service, but wc is only once a week.
Like yest., i woke up a bit tense (there was really something bothering me), but i so wanted to be able to do something, as sing w/ others or play. I realize ive used music therapeutically thru the yrs, esp instrumental music, and the Lord has in fact shown thru the yrs that while it is good and not to be used as an idol, it can be put into good use in various ways. Not that the people at home do not appreciate music, but i must respect study time, rest time, etc. They can sing too, but not the way i have lyrics and melodies in my head.. And as some know, i am not the very bold type of person to be playing even before many (extended) family or strangers, altho i can and do play at church sometimes. This may seem funny to some folks in fact, but at the same time, it weighs on me, coz where i live, there arent very many opportunities to work on a musical setting, and i do not compose or write lyrics, btw. Any thoughts? thanks!
