Today was one of the best days I've had ever, in my life. I spent several hours rehearsing with my concert partner in preparation for what we really feel like is our life's mission. In addition to playing through and discussing the music, we talked about how it affects us as individuals. Our goal is more than just an entertained audience, our goal is changed hearts. We realized that this is the same as YFF or anything else in life. The best way to prepare for a concert or youth conference or family or any other event is to actually live now how you want it to be in the "real thing." Be present now, love what you are doing now, serve now, pay attention to the details now, and then YFF or the performance or any other "real thing," it will only be a natural extension of who you really are.
Today, I am so grateful for my new friends! We connected immediately and can be ourselves around each other. I am so grateful for relationships like this!
Also, I finished reading the Merchant of Venice today and I loved it! I must admit that I was not looking forward to reading another Shakespeare play, but this one has definitely proved me wrong! It is now my favorite Shakespeare...so all those who have not yet ready it, please give it a chance, because it is a truly profound story! Happy reading!
I think this is supposed to say "May 24"?
