Sigh of Relief

This morning I directed the choir in the song that we have been practicing all summer. That was exciting to finally do it! I was nervous, but it came together. I was also singing one of my recital songs for special music, and I had been sick this past week. I sure missed all the good accompanists at BBC! I was never able to find someone to play for my solo, so my dad showed me how to make a midi file of the accompaniment! It actually sounded decent, though not as good as having a live accompanist.

Anyway, it feels good to have both of those things done. I received the best comment about my conducting: that I looked like I loved it. Praise the Lord for showing me what I love, but I still don't always know what to say after people give compliments. Anyone in Church Music Administration remember that conversation? I normally just say thank you, cause I don't trust myself to say anything else.

For anyone that did not see the comment I left on my last post, yes, my mom is very well. Thank you, friends, for praying. I was afraid that it would last for a while like the last time, but I think it was a good reminder to me to not take for granted the time that I have with her when she is well.

I have still been trying to keep up with the war with Israel and Hizbullah. It's frustrating to see the way the media is spreading lies with reports and pictures. It is also frustrating to see the lack of support for Israel, but in a way not surprising when we know the hatred the Evil One has for the Apple of God's Eye. God has been teaching me as I pray for Israel these days. It looks bleak, but I am glad to serve the God who promises to preserve His people.

Just a little update from me, since I have not written much in a while.
