This weekend was the annual Christmas concert at Luther. Four nights of radiant Christmas music streaming from the choirs and orchestra. Every year our 2,000 some seat auditorium is packed for all five performances as music comes from the incredible talent of the musicians. I am in awe of the talent of every student here. It is a blessing to be a part of one of the choirs here, and I cannot begin to express my gratitude for my friends and family, and the opportunities that this school has given me.
Luther has become a home to me. It has given me so many opportunities that I never expected to find in college. Dreams that I never knew I wanted, have become my goals. So in summary, the last show of our Christmas at Luther performance tonight was bittersweet. Bittersweet because this marks the final year that I will be involved in this Christmas show, (because I will be student teaching next fall, and unable to be in choir), and bittersweet because I have come full circle over the last three years. The past three years have been full of ups and down, growth, and many many memories that I will truly cherish. I still have two semesters of school left, but I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by.
Maybe it is just this time of year to bring on sentimentality, but never the less, I have to say how grateful I am for this school. It has definitely been an adventure these last few years!
This weekend was also wonderful because my family was able to fly out to see the Saturday night show. It was so wonderful to spend time with them and to spend another Christmas season celebrating with the people who matter most. I love my family, and would not be who I am without them! They are such a huge blessing upon my life and I am grateful everyday for their love and support. We ended up going to the Norwegian museum in town, the Vesterheim, and saw the Jan Brett Exhibit. It was a marvelous exhibit!
The snow started falling today as we performed the last show of Christmas at Luther. It will be sad not returning to the stage for Christmas at Luther next year, however I am looking forward to student teaching and to seeing what the future has to offer. It is such a season of Hope!
For now, the memories of the past three years of Christmas at Luther live on. As the music fades and drifts away in to the snow-filled sky, the memory lives on, and the future calls.
