Women's Concert Choir

AGH! Tonight, I fly to Washington with 52 girls. Am I excited? Can't even tell you how much! :) I was asked 3 weeks ago by my friend XT, who is the conductor of the choir, if I wanted to come on tour as the sound person. It was almost a no-brainer for me. Of the 4 years I spent at Moody, my time with WCC was most precious to me. I can't express how the encouragement, love, support, and friendships enabled me to get through the good times and bad during those years. I continue to be in touch with several of the girls to this day, who I consider to be amazing friends of mine. You get to know each other pretty well when you are together so much. So tonight, we board a plane at 7:45 to start this 15 day journey. We fly to Washington to do several concerts there, as well as in British Columbia. I have heard that the Northwest is a beautiful area-I'm thankful I'm getting the opportunity to experience it first-hand the next couple weeks. Please pray for us all.

Pray that:
-God will use me to minister and encourage the gals
-I'll cling to His word and spend time with my God daily
-physical strength and good health as the days are long and tiring
-good attitudes and joyful hearts as we minister to people who may not know Jesus, and that they will find Him through our music
-safety traveling everyday
If you'd like to see where we will be, here is the link. http://www.moody.edu/edu_MainPage.aspx?id=2328

I'm excited! I'm really grateful. And I'm thankful God has given me this opportunity! See you in a few weeks!
The good 'ol days of WCC
Lookin' forward to seeing Lindie-it's been 4 years!
