The Writings Of A Young Woman In Christ - Yes, I've been horrible at blogging!

Mar. 30, 2009 - Yes, I've been horrible at blogging!

Oh wow. It's been quite some time since I've taken the time to even come on HSB!!! I'm sure alot of my friends on here have given up on me, huh? :-) Don't think I've fallen off the face of the planet! Actually, I'm mostly writing because my friend, Rebekah told me that I'm due for an entry. So here, Rebekah, I'm blogging!

Just teasing. But yes, it's been pretty crazy around here! So I'll try to get an update posted tonight...

The biggest thing going on right now is that I'm currently in a Easter Contata that our town puts on every year. It's a choir with about 50+ people that take part in it from the different churches in our town. It tells the Easter story in song. It's really fun.

I was in it last year -- my first year in it-- so this is my second year. It's been a lot of fun to learn all the new songs and hear how amazing it will all sound once we put our voices with the orchestra! We actually have only one more practice before the big performance on April 5th. I'm so excited, yet so nervous! It's really a big to-do every year and people come from all over to hear us. Such a fun experience though! Actually this year is exciting for me for two reasons: One, is that my wonderful friend is in it with me this year. That's really exciting for me, because last year I was in it alone, and as much fun as it was (and it was an awesome experience) I wished I had someone there that I could talk to and share the experience with. You know? So it's been really nice to have her in it with me.

And also, the other reason is that it has been cause for learning a new skill! You see, we're supposed to wear all black-attire for the performance -- and this year I decided to make my own dress! Now-- my mom and I do not know very much about sewing. We know a little, but not enough to do a lot of it. We both really have wanted to learn, but we've never known anyone who knows how and would be willing to teach us (much to our dismay). But a couple weeks ago (and it was a total God-thing!) we found out that a lady from our church knew how to sew and has been doing it for years, and she was more than willing to teach us what she knew! She has just been such a blessing to my mom and I, and she has taught us so much. Now we have the dress almost completely finished -- everything but the zipper. And it is so gorgeous! I'm so excited to wear it.

I'm going to have to tell you all how the Contata turns out. But unfortunately, as short as this is, it's all I have time to share tonight! I'll try to blog again, as soon as I can...

In Christ!

Howdy Dallas,
As I'm sure you can tell, it's Rebekah here!
I didn't get the chance to read your blog post until today, and I'm glad you got around to doing it! He, he, he.... I still beat you though! I got mine up first! :-)
Just kidding!
I hope your choir performance went well. You'll have to e-mail, and tell me all about how it went!
Love, Your friend, and sister in the Lord,
Rebekah
