A Brief Update

I have had no time to blog since the New Year began. The past 6 weeks have been comprised of 15-18 hour days 7 days a week, and I don’t see the end in sight until mid-March. In the midst of the busyness, God has graciously enabled me meet all deadlines and keep the details of life in order, although there has been a great deal of stress in the process. (If you know me, then you know what an act of divine intervention that really is!)

My HS choir students have been preparing advanced literature for their Cathedral Tour in England and are very excited that the departure date is now down to a matter of days. We are praying that God would marry our faith to the text in each song and use us to glorify Himself in the process.

In the midst of these preparations I have spent many late nights studying and writing for a women’s retreat, which took place last weekend in St. Petersburg. I’m so grateful to the Lord for His presence and aid in the sessions.

If you are inclined to prayer, then please pray for us:

That we might travel safely as a group (51 students, 16 adults, one child).
That sickness would not descend upon us.
That we might glorify our Heavenly Father in our singing, words, and interaction.
That the Lord might clear any obstacles in our path.
That our students’ lives might be enriched spiritually and their perspective broadened.
That we might return safely and in good health.
That we might be able to turn around and compete well at District Festival on February 26th and then in the ACSI Festival on March 6th.

Thank you for your prayers!
