This week we have all-staff conference. The entire staff of BFA meets Monday and Tuesday mornings. We worship together and listen to testimonies of how God brough people to BFA. This morning it was wonderful to hear how God’s perfect timing brought the other teachers, staff, RAs, and dorm parents here. We only see a small piece of the puzzle, and it is times like this that allow us to get a glimpse of the bigger picture. Tomorrow I will be sharing my story of how God brought me to BFA.
This week is also a time to finalize preparations for students. I will be finishing up my orchestra syllabus, organizing music and choosing music for the semester, and doing everything I can to be prepared for the school year to start! Our first day of school is August 25th. For the first two weeks, I will only be teaching the orchestra class. During this time, we will have auditions for the private lesson students so I can get a feel for their current playing levels, strengths, weaknesses, personalities, etc. I am looking forward to meeting the students! Please pray for peace as I prepare for the school year to begin.
