I would like to share with all of you, about one of the many blessings that God has done in my life. The best place to start, is in the beginning of my life .... in my mothers womb. My mother has told me many times, that when she carried me in her womb, that she craved music. Mother said, she craved music like other mothers-to-be, craved pickles and ice cream. When I became 7 years old, my mom took me to piano lessons every week. Then about 2 years later, my piano teacher refused to teach me anymore because I was playing by ear more than reading the notes. I still couldn't play very well by notes or ear at that point and time in my life. At the age of 9, I started playing the electric guitar by ear. Then during my teenage years, I laid my music aside and got married at 17. When I turned 23 years old, I had such a desire to play the piano in church. But I didn't have enough learning to play the piano in church.So I decided to buy a piano to practice what I knew by ear, which wasn't very much.

God's spirit came down upon me, like a white cloud all around my head. I couldn't see the cloud with my eyes, but in my spirit, I knew the cloud was there. Then peaceful music began flowing in my mind, from this cloud. The cloud stayed with me 24 hours a day for three months. The music flowed in my mind, continually day and night. It was beautiful, peaceful music that I heard. Gods spirit put in my mind how to practice notes and chords. I had such a desire and yearning to practice, practice and practice. I played the piano, from the time I got up in the morning, until the time I went to bed at night. The desire to learn was so strong that I didn't even want to take the time to eat, but I did eat. Then at the end of the third month, the cloud lifted off of me. God taught me what he wanted me to
