Saturday, January 5, I was thankful to be part of Stacy Potocska and Austin Bell's wedding ceremony as the pianist. Seeing Northland friends again was special. The ceremony was beautiful, although a large Christmas tree obstructed my view of the entire stage! I played for Suemi and Catherine Harrison, both of whom I had enjoyed working with before. The theme of their songs was God's grace. It was refreshing to be once again clearly using music for ministry. Studying music at a secular university does not promote that. During the exchange of vows, I played one of my favorite Jim Brickman pieces, Angel Eyes. I guess this one wouldn't fall under the sacred category, but it is a lovely piece. :)
Despite the reunion, it had to be brief, and I am back in Harrisonburg for a meeting this afternoon regarding my teaching responsibilities this semester. And everything begins tomorrow. Christmas break went by much fast than previous years. I believe I enjoyed being home with little school work to accomplish more than any other time! It also made me thankful that I will be home for the majority of this upcoming summer. Outside of a trip to Ecuador with my dad and Global Health Outreach, a week of vacation with my dad's family in WV, and a week of "projects" at my grandparents house in Va Beach, Lord willing, I will be home babysitting, keeping up with practice, and enjoying time with my family. Grace is going to Cambodia for six weeks, but the others are planning on staying close!
Each day is a new blessing, and I hope that the Lord in His grace allows me and you to see that no matter what they hold.
