A Penny for Your Thoughts

"Go therefore and make disciples out of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things tha tI have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My Name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up deadly serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." Mark 16:15-18

Give me some thoughts and ideas... you don't have to answer this personally. General answers are great.

Where Does God Speak to You?

Obviously God can speak to anyone, anytime, any place, but sometimes there is one special place where I find I hear Him best. Some place where I am free to hear Him, where I am completely at ease. Someplace with few distractions. A place I can go to pour out my heart to God and not worry about being interrupted. Larry told me his special place is on the lawn mower. I realized last week that my special place is in my car. Driving alone. I can recall easily many times where God spoke to me, comforted me, delighted me, etc... while I was driving alone in my car. I have also gone for drives for the specific purpose of hearing Him because for some reason, it just helps...

Audition and other UH stuff

Well, I took the theory placement test Saturday and I'm sure I bombed it. I am planning to study for it and take it again in May. The stuff on the test was all information I have learned but just forgot. I would really like to NOT take theory IV again. So I will try again...

The Audition on the other hand, went very well. I felt like I could not have played my two songs much better. One was pretty much flawless. So for a theory major, I feel like I have a good chance of getting in. But I don't know how competetive it is so we'll just have to see...

I am expecting two letters in the mail over the next month I guess. One from the Moore's school of Music and one from UH. Those two letter will decide whether I go to UH or not. :) I'll keep you posted!

University of Houston

Ok, so a little history. Over the last several months(even before I came to SA) I started coming to peace with getting a bachelors degree in music. I had always disregarded the option because...well I don't know. I was scared? Burned out of school? Two more years seemed like forever... :) But finally I started seeing the sense in getting a BA and God actually started getting me really excited about it. Now I REALLY want to get it. I can't wait to spend two full years studying more music. I think I just got burned out with all my non-music classes at Tomball. :) But anyway, I planned to spend a year in SA and then go to UH for a bachelors in Music Theory. However, God may have other plans...

Over the last week and a half doors leading to University of Houston this FALL swung wide open and I felt like I should walk through and see where this leads. Yes, that is all very vague. :) Basically several things happened that resulted in me suddenly getting all my application stuf together and submitting everything in two days. I am audtioning for admission/scholarship(which probabaly won't happen because of various reasons) on Saturday at 1:30. Thankfully my two pieces do NOT have to be memorized. Since I'm using pianos belonging to other people my practice time is limited. I also have to take the Theory placement exam that morning at 10am. Please be praying for me. Pray that God's will be done.

IF... I get accepted and get a green light from God to go... I will be moving to Houston in June. But we will just have to see how things pan out.

UH is not cheap and I will be praying for LOTS of scholarships. :) Please pray with me on that. I know God can do it. I'm not worried about it.

It hit me today at work... I ACTUALLY APPLIED TO A REAL UNIVERSITY!!! I got all giddy. haha... I don't know why that is SO unreal to me. I am so EXTREMELY excited.

So anyway, thats my week. Crazy...

I love it.
