I was able to really spend some time alone with Him today, preparing my heart for Wednesday's funeral and praising Him for whatever He has in mind. I am thankful that I don't know why these kids lost their dad and why a wonderful woman lost her husband. I know that I couldn't handle the information and it lets me off the hook for explaining the reasons to everyone. God has a perfect plan and I'm deciding to trust that plan, cause He knows best. I'ma just gonna follow His lead and obey the direction He gives me. Thanks, ladies for your prayers, I've needed them. This ministry gig has been overwhelming so far, and the second I think I've gotten a handle on things, in walks the next big dilemma and spiritual battle that goes with it. I've been fighting depression more than I'd like to admit this year. The mood swings of teenagers are absolutely monstrous. (My parents had it easy let me tell you!) ;)
Speaking of teenagers..... I attended the high school orchestra and choir concert this evening. I was pretty impressed with their performances! It amazed me though that once the orchestra was finished performing, they left and so did their audience! I really felt bad for the choirs (who rocked, by the way) who performed for half of an audience because they were the second half of the concert....... Well, the string people missed out on good music and a comical moment when one of the girls lost her shoe under the riser as she was walking on stage. She didn't fall, thankfully. She then grabbed her shoe and kept walking! What else could she do?
It was an interesting experience for me. Memories flooded back of my choir days, and I miss them, somewhat. I liked watching the different personalities of the choir girls and guys. That was fun to see and think about. It must be a challenge to be a high school teacher. To all you teachers, I appreciate what you do and what you deal with every day!
