Anticipation!

Well, the day has arrived! Last year, I didn't know what to expect, so I was totally blown away! This year, I have an idea of what to expect, but I still know that God will work through the music and the presentations to fill me up, energize and challenge me! The primary things that I am looking for and hoping to get out of this week is ideas and direction to being a better children's choir director, ideas on how to put on a summer musical and publicize and promote events, and how to be a better handbell director, and a director overall. Not a few things, I know. But each one of the seminars that I am targeting will help me focus on these things. My biggest focus is on children's choir, as I still feel that I am learning how to do this, even after 6 years now of time spent directing and teaching children and children's choirs. As I think toward the fall and into next year, though, I am getting very, very excited! I look forward to getting big ideas, sharing big ideas, and seeing how God leads, blesses and directs those big ideas, as I and all involved in the Music Ministry at King of Kings grow in relationship to God, one another, and reach out to the community around us, while growing as musicians! I know that starts with me first and foremost! But more on that later...
