Finger-picking good

I'm learning to play the guitar. This has been a year and a half process (give or take) and I'm realizing that with the guitar...especially "post-teenager"...that's not a long time at all. There have been frustrating moments, from being a musician and wanting it to go faster. BUT, there have been many more rewarding "light-bulb" moments - the times when I see the patterns as they seem to leap off the neck. Isn't that the real reason we learn anything new? That's when the challenge seems to give back. That's how you increase your capacity for "new." It's the same whether you're earning a new language, going back to school, buying a home for the first time. And when it comes down to reading the Word, talking to God, hearing His voice, sensing His presence, the "new" never has to wear off...because it will always challenge you to stretch and grow and increase. That's the beauty of relationship. Bring it on!
