My fall break officially starts... tomorrow!
It would have started yesterday afternoon but Singers is performing our first concert at a wedding tonight! Yes, I'm bummed that my 4-5 day break got cut in half but at the same time, the girl who's wedding we're singing for is someone that is near to my heart and I would have gone to her wedding anyway.
I for real need a break though, especially from singing! This past Tuesday I experience physical tired-ness in my throat from singing. Where it legit hurt to sing. And then I realized, "Well, duh! I'm trying to sing 100% for five different things!" With that realization, I haven't been on vocal rest but I've been refraining from going full out, so prayerfully by Tuesday night's dress rehearsal my chords will be well rested and flawless :)
My word, this past week has been a trip. Quiz after test after paper after practice after rinsing and repeating. NOT TO MENTION a nineteen-page Music History Exam that I took Friday morning; took me a good hour and twenty friggin' minutes too! But it's done, it's over. This too shall pass. I feel pretty confident with it... I'll just rest in the fact of knowing that it could have been way worse. Way.
Something that God has been showing me quite vividly lately is perfect peace. At times I can feel my life becoming overwhelming to the verge of tears; I can feel hopeless and that I'm going nowhere but backwards; I can feel like everything I do is all for my glory and my gain. And the verse that continually comes to mind is Isaiah 26:3 saying, "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in You." And when that floods my mind and heightens all of my senses, I feel it. Peace beyond understanding, crystal clear perfect peace. The matter of keeping it present 24/7 is where I struggle. But the people God has surrounded me oh so closely with seem to constantly be manifesting perfect peace, so my eyes are constantly being redirected towards Him and not I.
I'm peacin' out to go do hair and makeup for this wedding. Wonderful-weekend-wishes are headed your way. Mwuah!
