It's a New Season

Hi everyone!

Yes, I am back in Dallas and back in school. Julie & I made it safely back last week after an interesting trip down. Our flight on saturday was canceled because of the "storm" and so we rescheduled it for Sunday night. We were rushed through the wheelchair woman (Julie sprained her foot) and barely got to say goodbye to our parents. That was a little rough, but probably easier in the end on all of us. When we finally got to our gate, we found out that our plane was already there and it was almost time for us to board, but we were missing one important thing...a pilot. Oops. So, first it was just going to be about a 15 minute delay, but of course, as time went by, our departure time got later & later. Finally, they said they were going to start boarding us so that when the pilots did arrive, we were ready to go. So, I dragged all of the bags on board (I'm sure it was quite a sight!) and we sat there for another hour. Finally, the pilot came on and we were ready to go. And we'd only be about two hours late. Haha. We got back to our apartment around 11:30, and I headed straight to bed. My team was up for chapel the next morning, and I had to be up and 5:30 to get ready!

The next day I was exhausted, but it was still a good day. It was great to see everyone again, to sing with my worship team and to start the School of Worship. The first day was a little rough, as there was a lot of orientation and introductory information. But once we got past that, the rest of the week was amazing! I have already learned so much that has helped me, and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the semester will bring. In addition to still being part of the Praise Band, everyone in the school of worship is put into teams that lead worship in the House of Prayer on campus throughout the semester. And each student is required to lead at least twice! So, I'll be leading in a few weeks, and again at the end of the semester. It's going to be a crazy time! I know that I'm going to go through a lot of stretching and growing, but I'm excited to see what comes out of it.

It was great to be home and to see everyone. I wish that it wasn't so brief, but it's always good to get together and catch up and have fun no matter how short the time. I love and miss all of you and think of you often. I promise to be more diligent in updating my blog. :-)
