The Big Day

My dad took this picture of my sister and me singing at his church last night. Oh man was I nervous. My voice was shaking. Tried to calm it down a couple of times. I had been really practicing but dont think I did very well. My tape player had just the notes recorded so I practiced those. Got them down really good. But....... when I went to my sister's last night and we practiced the accompaniment was a little higher and I had trouble finding my starting note. My dad recorded it and has a dvd copy to give me, Shari and my mom. That was one of the hardest things I have done for a while. I can speak infront of people but singing is much harder for me. Being in a group like choir is fine but a duet or solo is very hard for me. But I did it for my Lord, the church and my daddy. He was so proud. I know the Lord used it even if it wasn't professional. I did love singing with my sister though. She has such a beautiful voice. I was a bit intimidated. Maybe if we do it again, I will sing the melody rather than the harmony. Maybe that will be easier for me. Thank you to all who helped me get ready for the Big Day!

Been practicing

Tomorrow is the day my sister and I sing. I have been practicing alot. My friend, Lori, played just my part onto a tape so I could practice it. It was funny too. When we were taping it, the music director popped in and belted out a note. Lori and I cracked up. We said you know we were taping that. He made the funniest face. LOL. I just hope I can stay on my part. My sister is the natural singer. I have to work harder. Just praying I can do it. Will keep you all posted.

Singing

Well, my dad asked me and my sister to sing a duet at his church. They are having a revival. So, next Tuesday, Shari and I will sing "Just Over In The Gloryland". I am so nervous. Shari is the singer. I do sing in the choir but it is hard for me to sing by myself or in a group. Have trouble keeping my part. Am just praying that God will use us and help me. My friend, Debbie, played it onto a cd for me to use as background. She did such a wonderful job. She plays the piano for a lot of specials and for the choir. What a blessing. Also, one of the senior guys recorded it onto the cd. I was so worried. Thank you God for using these people to help. May the Lord be pleased with what we do.
