Hey ya'll!
Well, this is probably going to be a fairly long entry! I've got a lot to tell you about!!...
This past Friday (Nov. 3), I went with the school where I work (Heritage Christian School) to Piedmont Baptist College for their annual choral festival. We got there around 10:30am and we first went to attend a concert that the faculty had prepared for us. The music was simply phenomenal!! One gentleman played a piano solo called "Danzas Argentinas, Opus #2." The piece consisted of three different "songs" all blended into one beautiful masterpiece. I was completely blown away!! After that we had lunch, then went to our rehearsals. We sang literally ALL DAY LONG!! We now know the song "O Sifuni Mungu" which means "All Creatures of Our God and King" in African. With no instrumental accompaniment, aside from a shaker egg and a Dumbec, we, along with another Christian school and the Chorale at PBC, lifted our voices together in praise! I also had the privilege to play a piano solo during the concert. I played a beautiful rendition of "How Great Thou Art" on a 8' Steinway & Sons Concert Grand Piano! :D I was on cloud nine headed for ten!!! It was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!
The next day, however, was not so pleasant. I woke up that morning sick as could be. X-( The group had a service to do that evening in Boone, and I couldn't make it. :'( However, Brittney went on and sang some with some of her soundtracks. THANK YOU BRITT!!! I LOVE YA!!!!!! Sunday I started to feel better, and even made it to church Sunday night.
Yesterday was another exciting day!! My Grandmother and two of her friends are flying down to Texas to visit her son (my uncle.... obviously lol) and his wife who are missionaries in Mexico. She called Monday morning and asked if we had our tickets yet. We told her we weren't sure if we were going to be able to go or not..... But God made a way!! We went yesterday and got our Round-Trip tickets to TX!!! I'm so so so excited!! I've never flown before, so I'm a little nervous!! But I know everything will be just fine!! Please be praying for me and Mama!
Well, I guess I'd better go and start my school work! Gonna try to get ahead before we leave ;-)
Love you all,
Jacob
