New Song 2011 Tour : Day 10

Day 10: New Song Tour 2011. I got up, got ready, minus a shower, today, and went downstairs to breakfast. Then we went back to the church where half of us chilled and hung out till 1:30 ish - 2:00 ish. The other half was driven to our next concert church in Shasta (since we only had one bus driver/bus). Victoria and I walked to the nearby town and found an adorable coffee shop where we sat, drank peppermint cappuccinos, and talked a up a storm. We fell in love with the coffee shop and didn't want to leave. It had a cozy atmosphere, with a cute sitting area, and they served the drinks in huge, over-sized, real mugs! Victoria and I planned out the perfect plan of having her/our own little coffee shop in a small town with the setting of this one and with an art gallery above it on a second floor. Finally, we headed back to the church. The bus was a little delayed in getting back for the second group of people, but it eventually arrived and off we went to Mt. Shasta. It's so beautiful up here. I think I could be very happy living in Mt. Shasta, or nearby. Kayla curled my hair before the concert and it looked the best it has yet, curled. The church fed us a wonderful, delicious dinner of boneless ribs before our performance. The concert went well, as usual. Tonight's home-stay is with Christiana (who happens to be from New England) Taylor, Danielle and myself. The older couple hosting us are nice. They were married about three years ago and now live in Organ. However, they own a nice little cabin here in Mt. Shasta, up in the woods. It's a cute, cozy place. It reminds me of Uncle Scott's old house in Boulder Creek. Smells like it too, for that matter. Danielle and Taylor are in the spare bedroom, because they are allergic to cats and there's a cat here. Christiana and I are on the pull out couch. Tomorrow we head to Grass Valley....hopefully our new bus driver is here by tomorrow at our call time...9 A.M. All day I today I was fighting tears and just wanted to go home. I"m overwelmed by what has happened with H's son. I pray God helps me tomorrow. But, mainly I just pray for H. and Marckus. I didn't call mom today, 'cause I knew I'd cry. During our time at the church this morning, Marissa played hymns and a group of some of the girls gathered around the piano and sang. It really was such a powerful thing. One could feel the presence of God in that little corner of the room. This tragedy has definitely brought us girls closer to each other....and more in touch to/closer with God. Lord, if it be Your will, heal Marckus. Help him to be O.K. Give G. and the rest of Marckus' family Your strength....wrap them in Your arms of comfort and love. Surround them with Your presence.
