“The way is blurred, how to step forward❓”

Make us of the resources that the Lord gives.

I said, “I’m going to buy a midi keyboard.”

Classmate said, “Why?”

I said, “This is for the ensemble practice for my composition recital.

Classmate said, “uh?”

I said, “Yes, there are some instruments I don’t have. I need to get from Logic, 
the sounds missing, like harps, electric guitars and synthesizers.”

Classmate said, “Oh.”

I said, “I need to buy a new table as my music work station. Which one do you think looks good?”

Classmate said, “You’ve already bought a set of audio equipment.”

I said, “Yes, I need to make recordings of the rehearsals.”

Classmate said, “Don’t think that you can make recordings like the professionals do. It’s impossible.”

I fell silent.

I said, “I know. But I can always do a little better, right?”

Classmate said, “…….”

I said, “Now that the Lord has already granted sponsoring by arranging me more classes to teach in the colleges. This amount, I’ll spend, anyway.”

Classmate said, “Right. It’s delightful to buy what you want with what you earn.”

I said, “I spend because I want to make a better music production. I’m not asking you whether to buy it or not. I’ll get one anyway. I just want another pair of eyes on which desk to buy.”

Classmate said, “What website is it?”

I said, “The Rainbow website where music production desks are on sale.”

Classmate said, “So expensive here. Let’s move to Tao Bao.”

I said, “Good idea.”
……

Another me said, “You’ll waste money in the end.”

I said, “I’m not spending yours.”

Another me said, “Could you guarantee you’ll be making a production like a professional does?”

I said, “Mad. Who can guarantee?”

Another me said, “Then why did you still spend such an amount? You’ll just lose it.”

I said, “What are you so nervous about? It isn’t you, but the Lord, that pays me.”

Another me said, “The Lord pays you so you squander. You’d save it up for your future need.”

I said, “No, I have a need now.”

Another me said, “What is it?”

I said, “To follow the Lord a step forward.”

Another me said, “What is the step?”

I said, “To buy tools for learning how to make a better music production.”

Another me said, “Are you going make purchases with your words? No, but with money, come on!”

I said, “Yes, I’m going to step forward by completing my purchases with the remuneration that He provides me through the hands of the colleges. Now that you’ve  got to move forward, for what are you still keeping the resources He provides you under the bed?”
