Family Weekend





The coming week's schedule doesn't exactly match the wonderfully relaxing weekend I enjoyed with my family, but I was able to set aside the books and the piano practice just fine and spend a refreshing 40 hours with Dad, Mom, Katie, and Buddy here in Harrisonburg. The Saturday night JMU POPS concert went well -- I joined the symphony orchestra for an exciting performance of four Star Wars movements. Three other music ensembles along with the orchestra provided a very professional but fun evening. The weekend was full of enjoyable things -- like Thai food Friday night, a Scrabble game with Mom, a Cribbage round with Katie, grilling, wonderful coffee with even better people to share it with (thank you, Pastor and Mrs. Kimbrough!), and beautiful weather to enhance it all.
Although I have my first test in the morning, I was reminded how the Lord provides exactly what I need, even if it doesn't match my own ideas. I am refreshed and ready to face my week in the strength of the One who has called me to it.
