Jason's Birthday

Dear all,

The past 2.5 weeks in school has been overwhelmingly fun. It is so crazy to see how behind I can be in my readings! But so far the stuff I read for my M401 (Music History) and T351 (Music Theory) has been quite enjoyable, and that I find myself liking the classes I'm taking this semester very much.

Today is Jason's 22nd birthday, and we're taking it quite lightly with just a meal at China Buffet. It is really sweet to see how Dawn, our friend (who happens to go to our church), is trying very hard to put something together; I think Jason will be very touched when he finds out, and I think the thought alone will be enough for Jason:) Thank you, Dawn!

God has consistently shown grace and gave blessings to me over the past few weeks. In short, He has blessed with me with the position of being an assistant concertmaster for my school's Concert Orchestra, which is a great confidence-booster and exactly what I needed at that time. He has also given me a new job as the orchestra's manager, which pays me when I'm in the school's orchestra doing the requirements for my major in Violin Performance. He has shown grace to me by letting the people around me being protective of me when I'm continuing to grow into a leader that is Godly and sensitive with words. He has been so good, and I cannot wait to share Him to the new comers who will step foot into my church this Friday night!

I hate to cut this short, especially when I haven't written for 15 days, but I have to go before my schoolwork becomes a nightmare. I hope everyone is doing well! Special prayers to those who are stressed-- remember He is in control and that everything will turn out fine:)


Love,
Anna
