Long time

My, it has been a while....so much going on, but now that it's all finishing up I actually have time to post on a blog. Not that what I have to say is very new to the people who read it, but all well. Orchestra is officially over for the year. Some of the kids, including my friends Morgan and Aaron, are touring in Japan with the orchestra. I tell you, some people get all the luck! This weekend I'm babysitting as a fundraiser so I can go to this summer's Reformed Youth Ministries Conference. I'm looking forward to it; it promises to be a good time of teaching and fellowship.

I get to go back east this summer!!! For two weeks I'll be in Boston and New York with my aunt and grandmother. I'm so excited! The last time I was there was in 2003, and we only stayed a few days, so I'm thrilled that I'll be able to spend so much time there. It'll be my first trip without my whole family along.

Only five days of school left!!! I'm struggling through these last days, partly because I'm so close to done, and partly because I'm not really sure about what comes next. I'm not doing orchestra next year; I auditioned for Girlchoir, but I don't know if I've been accepted or not. I don't know exactly what's happening for school next year, or how many piano students I'll be teaching. Sometimes I wonder if the people I know now will still be talking to me next year! But God always , ALWAYS has a perfect plan up His sleeve, so I'll trust Him wholeheartedly, and pray for faith to do so.

"The strength of my LORD's love, it shatters the scales
And its depth give a new peak to climb/
And it grants me the grace to accept who I am
Who I am, that You have designed." - Chris Rice, Sam's Song

Grace and peace,
