Things never happen the way you want them to


Surprise! Me again. After approximately 3 months and 3 days.

Yeah, it's been awhile.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys what I've been up to lately.

Last week was my church's Vacation Bible School (VBS) Back in March, I was asked to lead music for everyone and of course, I accepted! It had kinda been a dream of mine to be music leader, so I was pretty thrilled to be doing it. I asked a friend to help me so we did the first three days together and the remaining two another church member helped me.

I had such an amazing time with all of the groups and leaders. The Pre-K class (lead by my mom) was adorable and I was extremely proud of everyone at the closing program.

But, like everything, it had to end. It feels really weird, like the end of a show or something. I miss getting up and being the first one into the church and setting up my computer with the projector. I miss making a complete fool of myself in front of 25 kids while singing and rocking out to VBS music. I miss that one part in Learning to be the Light where we 'dab' (it's not a legit dab cause I hate them but it should be the new one). I really miss the Pre-K class and hugs and adorable giggles as they ran their fingers through my really long hair.

After my friend left on the third day, I started to get kinda depressed, thinking ugh, this is gonna be so weird and now I have to do all the signs and singing by myself. But that night I got over it and told myself, yeah, it was fun, but not everything has to be the same. Just go out there and have fun, serve God, and enjoy the experience. So I did, and it was still amazing. The song I'm currently listening to that I realize completely sums up my feelings about the whole week is this.

The reason I decided to write this post and make another appearance was YouTube, I guess. I find inspiration in weird places. In this case, it was this channel. I was watching some of their older videos that majorly reminded me of Music Man, weirdly enough. I was shown some of their videos around that time and it just made me feel really happy and nostalgic. Specifically Thundersnow. I had this ridiculous grin on my face and tears (?) in my eyes. For some reason, it really made me think of all of the amazing memories that I made during that time. Weird, right?

I guess the point of this post is me getting over things ending and accepting that yeah, things have to end. But that doesn't mean that you have to mope and be grumpy for the next two months. Enjoy stuff while it happens because life is beautiful. And it's okay to look forward to next year. Yeah, I miss VBS and all of my play people every time I hear certain songs but I'm thrilled for the next thing life throws at me and excited for next year. (Also, Anne of Green Gables happened and I might write a post about it soon)

I have absolutely no idea what this post was supposed to be but I imagined it not being like this? Oh well. Life doesn't turn out how you want, and neither do my blog posts. Like, ever. But anyway, stay tuned for some possible 30 day challenges over the summer!  

And here's a picture that I took on our camping trip this year. It's very American and I love it.
