On 27th Aug 2008, I took my Grade 7 piano exams in the afternoon. I thought I had prepared well but never did I expect that it is the worst piano exam that I had experienced. The examiner is a composer, and an expert in Choral Singing. To my horror, I played all my piano exam pieces with mistakes. I guess this time I am in trouble! That's not all, I think that I also screwed up in the aural. I don't think I answered the period the piece that was being played correctly. Thank God that the examiner was very lenient, he gave me a manageable sight reading piece. I actually did not expect a pass for this exam. After 23 days later, I checked my exam result on the ABRSM website. Since 15 days after the exam, I have been checking every week day for my result. I have been anticipating how I would react after I got my results. Thank God that He did it again. It is not how much I can do, but how He can bless me with ways that I could not expect!
Time flies really fast. I remember that I just started seriously learning the piano in 2004. In only four years time, I am now at Grade 8! This is not me but God worketh in me. He gives me opportunity to serve Him in the Chinese congregation in my church as a church pianist. Although I am not good enough to serve Him when I just started, day by day God had improved my skills amazingly! I realise that nobody is good enough to serve Him. It is only by God's grace that we can serve Him. I remember that I told people to please give me another five years before I serve God. However, God will not allowed His work to be hindered. There is a need at the Chinese congregation in the Sunday worship service. I took up the challenge with faith in God. Amazingly, I saw the mighty hand of God working in my life!
Praise God again that I got 113 for my Grade 7 piano exams! I must say that I felt overjoyed with God's blessing in me! Amen!
