I don't really have anything new to post...just felt like doing something.
Red Ribbon Tour is approaching. We're almost done writing the skits. We just need to write one or two more, depending on how many more songs we need. Then we actually need to learn the music and dances. Yay!!! That should be fun.
I stayed after for IMEA practice today...the music is pretty hard. But it should be pretty fun tearing through it all. Mrs. C and I made a tape today of all the music...for the second sopranos at least... :)! And Mrs. Cantele said that I could stay after whenever I need help. So that's good. She's is such a good teacher...definitely the one I talk to the most. We talked a bit today too, about how I always stress myself out...it's nice to be able to talk to a teacher about all that.
Sunday at church was interesting. Last week the pastor that has been leading worship for about two years left to move closer to his and his wife's families now that they have a little baby. So our senior pastor is taking over worship for the time being. He's okay at it, but I miss Seth. He was awesome! He just has this passion for God and worshipping Him that it pours out from him...I don't know why, but it made me feel more free and open to worship fully like I like. Not that I really felt all that hindered to do it before, but it helps when the pastor leading worship is the same way.
So with Seth now gone, our church is currently seeking a new worship leader. We're in no hurry about, so at least they're not rushing and choosing just anyone. But I also hope we don't go too long without one. Worship is just really the part of church that I can get into and I'm worried that we might get into a slump. I dunno...sometimes I feel like God has led my heart in worship, but I don't think I'm ready to lead it right now. In fact, I know that I'm not ready to lead it. Plus, the church would not pick a teenager to lead it. And not that I think the way to start in the ministry is jumping right with leading. I have thought about asking to be back on the worship team again. I was on it for a period of time between my 7th and 8th grade years. But then I got really busy so I was going to just take a little time off, then we got a new pastor. And I don't think he'd be in too much favor of having a teen on the worship team. Seth might've, but I don't know about the senior pastor. I'll just wait and see what God directs me to do.
One more week...
