Graduate School

By this Saturday, I will have been a graduate student for 13 days and will be thankful for the weekend -- in order that I might have time to begin treading through the seemingly insurmountable amount of work and piano practice. My daily schedule is full between an ideal 4 hours of practice, classes, and my assistantship work, which includes accompanying for the Madison Singers, accompanying for the symphony orchestra, and working as a secretarial assistant to Dr. Ritcher, head of the music education department. My nights are then devoted to all the reading and researching and more practicing!
The Lord has provided a good church for me to attend -- Freedom Baptist Church. Only 1/2 mile from where I live, this small but friendly group of believers has already welcomed me. I am thankful the Lord so quickly answered this prayer. It will be a needed as the opportunities for spiritual fellowship are now much fewer. But the Lord has been faithful in the past to provide what I need, and I have the confident assurance He will continue to do so, even if the needs and provisions to meet those needs are different than what I am used to or even think are the right ones. His ways are not mine, and for this I know I am to be grateful.
