A lot has happened since Monday. I've basically nailed down my schedule, but there is a little bit more work to do. As far as trumpet playing goes, I get to study with one of the most internationally acclaimed trumpet players around: Allen Vizzutti (pictured on the left). He is so nice and my first lesson with him today went about as well it could have possibly gone. I didn't by any means impress him with my playing, in fact, he found things in my playing that will be easy to fix and make me sound way better. I am so excited to have no large ensemble commitments this quarter. I will be in a chamber group (hopefully with my husband), but other than that I get to work on my trumpet playing all quarter. I've never had this opportunity and I am going to take advantage of it. I am going to commit to God's plan for me and do what He seems to be directing me towards: Trumpet Performance. If this is where He wants me, then I am certainly going to persevere and give it my all (and I can't say I've always had that attitude about playing the trumpet).Hopefully the next few weeks will prove to be productive and wonderful. I have high expectations of what God is going to do in my life and my husband's because of the doors He has shut recently. We know that He is guiding us and it's just a matter of following His guidance.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4
