although I realize that this goal is slightly impossible, it has worked miracles so far this week. all the stress miraculously swoooshed away with the cold wind this week. I have needed a little extra patience with piano practice, performances, myself, and an awaiting mission call. Patience has somehow seeped into my life and the fears that I had about serving a mission suddenly flew away.
Monday morning, I got a message telling me that my call had been sent (I think it meant issued). I bounded out of bed (Camille can testify), threw open the windows (actually this part is fictional but definitely possible), and shouted to the world that I was going on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It suddenly didn't matter where my primary assignment was, or how difficult the whole affair would be. because I... I (mariah???) had been called. Called to Serve. and I have the patience to wait for a call an extra few days if it gets stuck in the mail. and the patience that practice will slowly cumulate. and that I will finish papers in time. and that I can slowly refine my character even when I make mistakes. and I have faith that all will work out. and. I'm going on a mission.
