Not much going on in my world this week. We're counting down to the end of school...7 full days and 2 half days. I'm patiently waiting to hear about travel approval from a friend who is adopting from China and whether or not I'll be able to accompany her when she goes. Long story short, if approval and family day and consulate appointment all happen relatively soon, I'll get to go. (And by relatively soon, I mean travel approval has to happen THIS WEEK, family day has to be June 4, and consulate appointment the following week). I'm super excited that I was invited to travel with her and will be disappointed if it doesn't work out. BUT, my prayer since April has been that this works out best for my friend and not for me. God has already shown me that he can do what he wants, when he wants. Psalm 115:3 says, "Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him." The impossible is his reality. 

I picked up my flute this week for the first time in a really long time. I decided that I wanted to start playing in church again, so I had it cleaned and a pad replaced a couple weeks ago. I chose a song, rehearsed it with my accompanist and played in church Sunday morning. I think I'm going to look for more music and try to play more regularly. On that note (haha), my girl-child has decided to learn to play clarinet next year. We went to instrument "try-outs" at the high school last week and she got a good sound out of the clarinet (and flute and saxophone). Band, here we come.
