Choir Tour

It's been awhile because I've been away on choir tour. We were supposed to leave on Saturday, but ended up leaving Sunday morning due to ill members and needed rest. The tour was disappointing because all of our destinations were pretty much last-minute. We drove to Abilene, rehearsed in a beautiful church, then performed at a different one. Monday, Tuesday, and today were spent at high schools in Denton, Irving, Keller... We sang for their choirs. It's basically a recruiting thing. I was sad because I really wanted to sing at my old high school, but they were on winter break this week.

Ironically, my devotional the day before we left was about loving people, even when it's hard to love them. Loving those that aren't easy to love. I knew of one specific person who it was going to be hard to love while being with them for a few days straight, and I prayed for patience and love. Oh, but did the Lord test me!! I all of a sudden had very low patience for many people, not just the one. And I also grew easily tired of the music we were singing. This has never happened before. I have always loved performing, no matter how many times it happened. Ironic that the music we were singing is pretty much all praise music? Anyway... the trip was interesting to say the least. We did have fun though. It will be my last choir trip because I'm pretty sure that this is my last semester in choir. What a weird feeling...
