wow. i don't think i've had this good of a day in a long time. after the usual sleeping in and rushing through getting ready, i sped to school with the music blaring while very low on gas........not a good idea. but after that, everything was great. in choir, we had a clinician come in to work with us who is a director at UNT. this guy is awesome--he got us to sing like our director has never been able to (meanwhile, our director was taking many notes). so, in short, i was reminded of the reason why i am in choir!! i remembered what it was like to be a part of a truly good choir!!! i haven't had that kind of director since middle school, and also the summer all-state preparation camp at UT Austin. it was wonderful. really. afterwards, i was in a very good mood despite my chem class (blech)....and then i got to go to french (yay!!!). and even though i have massive amounts of things to do before i can go to bed, i'm just glad. God is truly working in me and through me a lot lately. did i mention that He is amazing?!? this is the most joyful i've felt in....well....months, maybe....i'm not quite sure. man, i am lovin' this week!!! oh, and one more exciting thing about this week. i get to go to PINE COVE this month!!!! for those of you who don't know what i'm talking about, pine cove is this awesome camp in Tyler, Texas that our youth group goes to a couple of times a year. i get to go for a work weekend (yay!!), which is very exciting. this means i get to work in the kitchens and stuff while a group of probably middle schoolers has their weekend retreat. it's a wonderful place to be, and not to mention a great opportunity to serve.
it's my brother's birthday on monday!! i'm so excited. and what's more, i get to see him on wednesday when he comes home from college for easter!!! i can't wait!!!
well, since i have now taken up a considerably large amount of space, i'm gonna jet!! here's another quote for ya:

"To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart." --A.W. Tozer

i love you guys!!! laters!!
love kaylah
