one week

Mom pulled into the darkened parking lot of Mimi's Cafe and immediately I was transported back to the memory of last Thursday.

Last Thursday the 12th, mom and I waited in the parking lot for dad's car to join us for dinner.  I was very conflicted:  I only had 2 letters of recommendation from music professionals for Herberger's application, and they wanted 3.  I thought ASU was out of the option, and doors were going to shut in my face.  I didn't have a clue where to go next.  I never thought I wouldn't get in to my #1 college choice. I couldn't physically think of another music professional to write my 3rd letter.  It was terrifying, and disappointing.


A week later, Thursday the 19th, I sat in the car while mom chose a parking place.  Exactly a week to this very moment, and now I have submitted my application, got accepted, and an audition date is now in place. 


We found a music professional in a close friend of ours from the homeschooling world, and she came to my house, listened to me play, asked a lot of questions, reviewed my literature, and interviewed me.   The 3rd letter--sent, the application--fully completed.  It all came together. God takes care of his children. Even the ones wanting to go to a secular college.
