I think I have found my love in life...
I mean, other than God and Timo and obviously ice-cream!
Today I performed with our Church Choir at a wedding of one of our church members' family. The Choir was discovered and first booked for a wedding after one of our Christmas carol concerts. I had never been a part of the Choir before, because Timo and I have always happened to be out of town for one thing or another at the time of the big events.
This time though, I knew we would be here, because we are right in the middle of the ministry school we are running and have not booked in any other extra ministry or in fact time off in general!
After the first rehearsal I thought, I am not cut out to sing in a choir...I pretty much hear a harmony and sing it...and it's usually NOT what's written on my music, which I have in front of me but ignore! I persevered however, and it was worth it! The practices in themselves have been SO much fun and completely uplifting (when we're all in our right parts, coming in on time and singing the right words!). Really, there are about twenty of us and the sound is no less than magnificent!
Today was the wedding and I loved it! I had to do a solo and duet bit on You Raise Me Up, and it was fab! I have only ever really sung in worship bands before and never considered I could do the whole 'performance' bit...but I actually think it's IN me! Other songs were from Sister Act - Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Oh Happy Day and I Will Follow Him. Every one was up on their feet, clapping and swaying and having fun!
So, this I want to do more of. You can hold me to that and make sure I make it a priority in my life. It brings me JOY! Hurrah!
