Life as the VIP Director is a lot like being a swan... you (try to) appear graceful and smooth as you glide through the water, but you're paddling like mad beneath the surface!
This has been a strange week of looking back and looking ahead at the same time - with a whole lot of paddling going on.
Looking back - I'm working on a video for stewardship that relies heavily on content from VIP alumni. Special *snaps* to alumnae Carrie Beall ('08), Caitlin Fowler ('08), and Jill Chaney ('07) for being the first ones to send in their contributions. It has been fun to remember the stories that make up our collective memory, and to hear about the role that VIP played in the lives of these fabulous women. I'm expecting more videos to come pouring in! (hint, hint, nudge, nudge)
Looking ahead - I'm on the verge of jumping into the deep end of Choir Tour planning. Thanks to my fellow directors who are part of YouthCue, I have received many suggestions about places to sing and ways to minister in Chicago. I am grateful for the valuable advice from these wonderful people who have led their own choirs down a similar path! Having other directors to connect with, learn from, and lean on is a huge blessing to me.
Looking at today -VIP makes its debut in worship on Sunday, followed by a parent meeting. Lots to do to prepare, so I better keep paddling.
