Hello all!
As my Turkish liason reminded me, Winston Churchill once said, "never, never, never, never give up."
He also said, "Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."
The Cecilian Society announced grants today, and I was offered $200 on the simple bases that the society only funds projects that are related to "advanced music study." I am grateful for what they were able to offer considering they found my project not to meet those "advanced music study" standards. It is my opinion that this project is far too valuable to simply give up on. Things may have to be changed and altered, but will not be canceled. There has already been too much work that has gone into the project for it to merely be canceled. Also, there are still a few tricks left, so keep good thoughts coming please and fingers crossed!
My sinus infection is still going strong sadly, and I am doing what I can to get healthy and stay positive. The group with which I will be going to German is having their final meeting within the next week to go over last minute details. It is hard to believe that there are only 25 days left until we fly out.
Lesson for today: The times God chooses to teach us about patience and relying on Him are the hardest to have the courage to "sit down and listen."
