Week 4-7 ● Fast-forward

PJs, good music and a full belly. What more could I ask for on a cool Sunday morning? I've cooked breakfast, put a load of washing on, taken the Love Languages test (no, I'm not going to share), listened to a whole hour of Mormon Tabernacle Choir music and 3/4 completed a design project I'm doing for Mum. (Pause while I go and make up invoices for the last two designs before I forget...)

Okay, done that.

I'm on a roll of productivity this morning it seems and so I thought now was a good time to write a long-neglected blog post. I really am sorry. I am discovering the depths of my forgetfulness. If I don't write it down, it doesn't happen. And, if it's not vital...it might not happen anyway. (Pause while I go and take the 16 Personalities test yet again...)

I got as 100% Introvert! 😳

School/work/life has been going well. Thanks for asking. Each day is pretty similar. Breakfast at 7:20is (depending if I'm on time or late), music practise attendance & supervision, office work, violin & piano lessons every now and again (receiving, not giving), more office work, meetings, lunch, worship with our afternoon helpers, office work, violin & piano practise, office work, music practise attendance & supervision, choir warmups, music period, tea time! Then hanging out with friends, music practise or home to bed.

Repeat.

This week has been the Autumn Week of Prayer at Fountainview. Every morning and evening we gather together for a meeting and then special prayer. I have been blessed, as I'm sure everyone has. We finished off the special week with the Communion Service and an Agape Supper last night. The dining hall was beautifully decorated with Autumn leaves and apples and stunning flower arrangements and the mood was sombre as we meditated on God's love, the things that we had learnt during the week, and the commitments we had made.

"The relations between God and each soul

are as distinct and full as though there were not

another soul upon the earth to

share His watchcare, not another soul for

whom He gave His beloved Son."

I'm making many friends - both staff and students. All of them are wonderfully crazy of course. This is actually one of my favourite parts of life. Creating connections and friendships and little inside jokes that fill life with beauty and interest. I've also found people who are as crazily addicted to classical music as I am.

(Jaz & I are in there)

Sorry, I don't really have a lot to tell you. Life is just life here now. We're looking forward to Thanksgiving Break in about two weeks and then Cali Tour in December when we get too go on tour to share Christmas concerts in Washington, Oregon and California. Until then...we prepare!!! But, Jaz & I are both going well and settling in. Sometimes I still get this crazy feeling of our weird it is that I'm in Canada but it won't be long and this will be my second home. Thanks to God and all the wonderful people here!

Until next time!
