Wow... the month of April didn't exist. The month of May is about to not exist either. Where have I been? Absolutely everywhere, even though I never left the area. It's been really busy with many different things happening here at school and at our church. Let's see... April started with a nightmare called taxes. Two of my three W-2 forms were incorrectly printed... one W-2 reported the same income to two different states... Maryland and Massachusetts were fighting over interest. It was awful (and that coming from someone who used to really want to be an accountant!). What else happened? We had a fine arts competition here at the school. We hosted a regional elementary competition and competed several other competitions; our intermediate choir (grades 4-6) took first place in the state competitions. We also just had our high school's spring concert tonight, and the HS choir sounds awesome. It wouldn't surprise me if they really started to go places in the next couple years. :)
This month isn't going to be much better... I've got many requirements of my job bearing down on me. Find new curriculum for about 5-8 computer classes for next year (this year's curriculum is extremely poor, especially the Computer II one). Write an exam for the seniors. Write regular exams by this Monday. Create PowerPoint slide shows for the Sports Banquet next Saturday and for the Kindergarten graduation the following week. Get things ready for the Bible College tomorrow night.
On top of all that, the Lord provided a great opportunity for me - the music director at the church just announced that he'll be leaving at the end of the summer, and I have been asked to work into the position as the interim. From what I understand, the church is looking for someone with more experience than I have to offer, but I'm grateful for this opportunity. This Sunday is the first big test - Sunday morning, evening, and the choir. It's a big responsibility, but I'm happy to have the opportunity. There's just something really powerful about leading others in worshipping God; it's an awesome responsibility and a great challenge.
So, yeah, I've been busy. :) I hope to be back to posting a little more frequently in the days ahead. Just 18 more days of school! After that I'll be working in the summer program here at the school. I'll be taking a college class too at the Bible College here - Introduction to Missions. So that's life in these parts. Busy. But exciting. And the fact that God is sovereign and in control of it all just makes it so much better. He's got a great plan for me, and if I wait patiently, He'll show it to me. What a great God we serve!
