My First Last
Ok so yes, i know this should go before my last post. But i only just today got these pics from my dad.
A few weeks on April 10 a girls church ministry, called Acteens, that i've been apart of since 7th grade had our recognition service. It was my last one. I wasn't too sad about this. I've learned a lot from Acteens, but i feel we got too caught up in memorizing verses and didn't achieve much community work. But it's in the past, so whatev..
Here are some of the pics from the evening.

A Very Hard Last
I am a handbell player. I have played since i was in third grade. The last few years it has become a passion, a love of mine. I love the sound of the bells, i love the feeling of holding the beautiful gold bell in my hand, i love praising God with the music i play. Handbell practice one a week is 45 min where i can loose myself in the music. I can forget all of life's struggles and difficulties. I can focus on my music and playing with my handbell choir.
I love my fellow choir member. I'm the longest member, and until this year i was the youngest. I play will the adult handbell choir at my church. They treat me as an equal, they are all dear friends. Playing with them brings me joy.
In my first post i mentioned my handbell director, she is the one who inspired this blog. She has been my director since i started handbells. Ive been playing for 10 years and have had the privilege to be under her leadership. She is an amazing director. She has taught me so much. Not just in music, but also in life. Her love for her students is so very evident. She is always kind and thoughtful. Of all the directors and teachers i've ever had, she is by far my most favorite. I love Mrs. Cheyl so much, she means the world to me. I wish i could show her how much she has impacted me. I hope to one day be the light she has been to me to other people. I hope to follow in her footsteps and lead a handbell choir, if that's Gods will.
So to my last...April 27 was the last performance i probably will ever have with my wonderful handbell choir and director. I was excited to be performing, but very sad it was my last. It brings tears to my eyes as i write this. Im almost at a loss for words. Handbells has been such a huge part of my life, i don't want to give it up. I pray God will let me find a church that has a handbell choir to keep playing.
Here are some pictures from my last performance.
