Atlanta Trip
May I just take a moment and say that my trip away to Atlanta was wonderful? I've almost been home a week now and I'm still missing it. (If you missed it completely, I was gone from April 28th to May 3rd.) But at the same time there is a fighting chance that a more responsible Donna came home on the return trip.... so far so good anyway! Imagine what my time West Virginia might do to me!!West Virginia? Is this something new to most people? Quite possibly... let me explain. Assuming all the paperwork comes through in time, I'm working in the US for the Salvation Army Maryland/West Virginia division. I'm going to be employed for 5 weeks basically at music camps.... they call them conservatories though, cool, eh? So I'm going to take that experience and maybe even follow it up with TMI - the Territorial Music Institute. That's something along the same lines as our "National" here in Canada.
I've got a lot on the brain, and on the heart, right now. So many possibilities, so many confusing things, so much that remains unknown... but it's also kind of cool. I might even be on the verge of taking myself seriously... that would be an amazing change, wouldn't it? Or rather, on the verge of taking what I have to offer seriously.... I probably shouldn't take myself too seriously... that just wouldn't be any fun at all if I did. ;)
Back to Atlanta for a moment... I wish I had words to describe it... and what good it did me in so many ways. It's mostly all emotion when I try to explain it... and I find that surprising in some ways, even though I know that I am pretty much an emotional kind of girl. But honestly? I'm finding that it has affected me in a way that I can't recall anything else quite getting me before... not even my first "National" experience. This is really different. And it's going to be interesting to see, as time unfolds and God lays out whatever plans He has for me, what it might actually all be about. Wow.
And in case she ends up reading this --- to Heather (who I visited in Atlanta, in case you're not Heather and are wondering who it is I'm typing to) - even still, all that I can get out is: "Thanks - I needed that."
