Congratulations Grace! The good stuff has arrived for you inshaAllah. Remember, don't sign any contracts! International gigs need to be thoroughly researched. If you get a bad vibe about a gig, don't do it. But it's difficult to run away once you're in another country! Don't keep that anger and revenge pent up, channel it into music and make sure it's recorded. Then replace it with love, patience and forgiveness. You must learn this while you are young, so you can fight heart disease and make room in your heart for the good stuff.
Grace, I want you to say hi to some of the most important and influential people you will ever meet in your life: your target audience. People like the girls in the video below. You may not see them in your daily life, but they are definitely listening to you. No I don't think they listen to BB King, but they might if you tell them to. You may think that all they like is vapid global dance music, but that's not true: if you studied them you will find they dance to anything. You could always write stuff for them to dance to that has lots of guitar. Just don't be an idol, because that is the way of the devil. Be a role model. The way you behave is crucial. Don't show them any anger and revenge. Show them only love, patience and forgiveness. And would you know what is from God? These girls will remain the same age no matter how old you get.
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.
31. Say, "Who is it that sustains you from the sky and from the earth? Or who is it that has power over hearing and sight? And who is it that brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the living? And who is it that rules and regulates all affairs?" They will soon say "Allah". Say, "Will you not then show piety?"
Jonah 10:31
