I have been playing guitar for ten years now… leading worship, giving lessons, performing, and even taking silver at a musical competition… *drumroll*… all without ever owning an acoustic guitar! (I have owned an electric Fender Strat all these years though; some of you will remember her name is Jasmine).

But that’s right: I’ve been borrowing guitars for years from anyone and everyone (Tim, Mike, Jackie, Steven, Adrienne, Lynnette, Uncle Warren, Melissa, Patricia, Ricky, Ed, James F., the Sums, Pastor Howard, Jon, Josh C. and Josh P., just to name a few). THANK YOU to all of you!

Well, in a recent post, I mentioned that one item I’ve been thinking of getting was indeed an acoustic guitar of my own. And God really opened the doors and put this baby into my lap:

I found her on Craigslist the same day I wrote that post. Not only that, but Henry lives just two blocks down from my church, and he was offering a phenomenal price for the model (Larrivee LV-03E)! Everything worked out smoothly, and now here she is! The way things worked out so perfectly and conveniently in terms of timing and location was just astounding. I can’t call it answered prayer, because I didn’t really pray for it before… but I’ll definitely call it a blessing, or even a gift, from God… I will have to put her to good spiritual use!

And name suggestions! I need name suggestions!

As promised, music is forthcoming.
