The gospel Jesus Christ means the world to me. I love it so much! It is true. And I'm sooo blessed to have it in my life. It makes life worth living. It gives you an end goal to work towards. It helps us grow and progress in this life so that we can receive all that God is offering us in the life to come.

So, I've never been a singer... Except that once a year thing when my fam went caroling during Christmas. But seriously, it's always just been cello cElLo CELLO. Which I have loved. But this year at the beginning of the year I decided to audition for Women's Chorus. And it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I love it sooo much! It's been humbling but wonderful being in this choir. Solfege has kicked my trash one or two times, and just a general lack of knowledge when it comes to singing technique and such. But I am sooo grateful for the chance I've had to be in Women's Chorus. I hope I'll be able to do it again next year too.
