What am I supposed to do?

That's a question we probably all ask ourselves over and over in different points of our day, our week, and our lives. I've asked it about myself career-wise and in many endeavors. In spending 5 years training to teach in a Lutheran high school and only doing that for one year would possibly seem to be a waste, I don't see it being the case. I've used that training, resources and connections in many different ways. I enjoy challenging myself in writing music, and for a time, I thought making money doing that was a way to go. God closed that door by only having a few responses. In praying and thinking about it and asking the question "What am I supposed to do", I received a surprising answer. Keep writing, but don't charge for the music. Why? I realized that in trying to write music and make money doing it, it was from a self centered point of view. The songs aren't from me. They're from God. So, that is what I'm doing. If people want to give me money, great, but the music will be there for the use. I've had many more ideas come into my head after being led to this decision, which seems to me that this is the right choice! I hope you check out my website as I add more and more to it. Use it, and please give me feedback!
