Hallelujah

     Tonight is our first performance for the community production of Handel's Messiah.  I am so excited.  We have rehearsed long and hard and I feel almost prepared.  Next year I may even get the melizmas in For Unto Us a Child is Born.  Dr. Kevin Baker helped us prepare and he is fantastic.  I have thoroughly enjoyed learning from him.
     Last night Trent and I were part of a double quartet, minus a tenor, for the adult session of stake conference.  It had three key changes and I went up there without the last page of the music.  Yikes!  Overall it went well and God blessed us so that the Spirit entered the meeting though song.  If the presiding member of the seventy had not been there I would have felt less disturbed today about how it went.  You never want to flub up in front of someone who routinely talks with the prophet.  I am really grateful Trent automatically included me in the number and I'm truly blessed for participating.
     The theme was prayer and how we came become more Christ-like by implementing it more in our lives.  I felt inspired to make my prayers even better and pray differently with Trent.  We are going to need it now that more trials are going to come from the outside rather than most of them coming from within.


How sad that the girls look odd in this one or it would have been really adorable

 *    Just to clarify my thoughts from It's Been A While, I understand that my friend wanted to help, was worried for my kids, and didn't want to hurt anyone or anything.  What I have a problem with is that when I tried to talk to her about it, she lied to my face.  How can we clear the air if she denies she did it?  I guess she was afraid I would yell at her.
