Phil and all,

When I was about thirteen, I wanted to play piano for our church services, 
not all the time but once in awhile. Among other things I was told that I 
wanted it too much, so if I did play it wouldn't glorify God.  Yah, right!  
There real problem, as my parents were told, was that they couldn't see how 
a blind girl could follow te songleader.  Well, Ive played for several 
churches since, and most songleaders are very workable.  Anyway, that's what 
showed me there's nothing wrong with desiring something good; you just have 
to trust God's timing on it.
