Sadly, on Day 8, the choir had to leave the Seahorse B&B. We made a brief stop for lunch in Clarksville where the kids gave one of their famous impromptu performances for a local shop owner. We then traveled to Danville, VA where Josh supposedly (lol) went to college, and the group led worship at First Presbyterian Church before spending the night in the dorms at Averett University.
“Last night we performed our last concert on the road. Before we sang, we visited with the congregation while enjoying delicious food. I had the privilege of learning about the life of a miraculous woman. Yesterday was her 90th birthday. I was pretty shocked because she didn’t seem to be in the physical condition that any other 90-year-old might be. She was walking around pain-free, eating with her friends and husband, and laughing and smiling. She is inspirational. So during the concert, I sang for her. She was so excited we were there and I wanted to make sure I gave my all. As the concert concluded, I realized that this was the end, the end of tour and the end of my childhood. I was very distraught. Then I began to think about Mrs. Lib. She has lived 90 years, and she enjoyed her life and is still enjoying it. I’ve been so fortunate to find a great mission with our choir. The 2 years I spent in choir seemed to fly by, but I am thankful for every second of it. So, yes, it’s sad that it has to come to an end, but I have a long journey ahead of me, a journey that I can share with God and I owe that to the choir. From these 2 years, I’ve found God, and am ready to begin my adult life and ‘I will fear no evil, for You are with me…’ Psalm 23.” –Cassie H.
