Bach gave us God's word, Mozart gave us God's laughter, Beethoven gave us God's fire. God gave us music that we might pray without words.
Music is so undeniably wonderful. No matter who you are, you love some type of music. I have never meet anyone who hated all music and only loved silence; which could be argued that it's music. Music is all around us and in all of us. You can never escape it or run away from it. It's in the daily things we do; with or without meaning to.
I love playing the violin even if I'm not the best at it; which I am not whatsoever. It just gives me a unexplainable joy. Even just to hear that ringing sound of a D String going and filling the room with it's lovely, simple sound. Have you ever played only one note on an instrument and just listening to it? It's wonderful. I have many times just sat in my living room, on the floral couches and plucked the strings of my violin and hearing the sound that is like no other.
Orchestra is the thing that got me started on the violin. In fourth grade I decided to join Orchestra and I picked the violin. God has blessed me with the talent of playing the violin that I possess and my love of it has kept me going. Besides the music that I play in Orchestra I love the people. This year has just been a lot of fun. Next year, a lot will change though. Since I got into Chamber, (DEFINITELY because of God! I never would have been able to make it without him, at all.) I won't be seeing any of the next year Sophomores that I love having Orchestra with. I will, however love the big change music experience and I will be learning a TON as Mr. Gitch said. It'll be a bitter sweet change but a little more sweet than bitter (; sorry guys but I'll still see you all!
I've been praying, and hoping, and praying every night pretty much that I would get into Chamber. For the last few weeks I totally just surrendered it to God and just prayed that His will would be done and took in peace in the knowledge that whatever God's will is for me will happen, whether I wouldn't be so happy about it or not. Then that day that I was going to find out I started getting a little scared that I actually would be upset if I didn't get it but I did and everything is wonderful. But, there's still that annoying scale testing! Uhh! I had to learn so many scales this year it's ridiculous. Oh well, I learned a bunch about scales if not about anything else in Orchestra this year.

Not matter what God will provide and take care you. Even if I hadn't gotten in I would have eventually, or if not, then it wasn't meant to be I guess.
