• EDIT: Wow. God is amazing. Duh. We put all of our purchases in a prayer budget...a list basically saying "Ok, God, we don't have this money so we're just gonig to pray to provide". And sure enough I found out yesterday that I was going to be making triple what I thought I might for an arranging job, which is going to totally meet all our needs. Thank you, Lord... Amazing. That doesn't even count the stuff I"m doing for Shack. Wow...and I did another 5 hours of work last night after I got home from school and tucked the kids into bed...I love it. It's hard, but God is totally providing this work right now, and everything is awesome...

  TreQ isn’t working. I really can’t do anything at work...so
  here I am.

   
  I sang at YLFC this weekend. It was super-duper fun! It was
  a trial by fire, which was awesome, because frankly, (let’s park here for a
  minute) I don’t need to be hand-held through a musical rehearsal, so don’t do
  it—and they didn’t, and I loved it! OK—so I got the call on Wednesday afternoon
  because a guy that had previously agreed to sing a solo this weekend had
  something come up. I was like, “Sure, let me go check out the song first...”
  and I did. It was John Mayer’s “Why Georgia” which is a cool song—I had never
  heard it, well, maybe once or twice on the radio. I agreed to sing it, but wasn’t
  going to be able to go to the rehearsal Thursday night because I have class on
  Thursdays from 6-10PM. They were cool with that—which was really odd, since no
  one had really heard me sing ever…

  I emailed Brian and told him if he wasn’t comfortable with
  me singing since I couldn’t go to the rehearsal that I was totally cool if he
  wanted to find someone else…and I told him how when I was at Midway we hired
  this piano player one Christmas from LA, and she got confused on the dress
  rehearsal and didn’t come. She was like, “Oh, I’ll just come down for the
  concert…” with no rehearsal ever! And I’d never heard her play! NO WAY!

  But he was still cool with me singing, and in his email was
  like “oh, but don’t suck, hahaha” --and I loved it!…that crazy guy…and then he
  called the next day and asked if I wanted to sing for worship too...YES I DO…well
  I prepared my butt off for the John Mayer song (literally working harder than I
  ever had on any solo in my life) and got to the rehearsal and the solo was
  great, then the worship practice started and I was the only tenor. I totally
  thought there was going to be a bunch of us, but it was me and two other chicks
  plus the worship leader. Woah! A tiny scary at first but I jumped in and sang,
  sang, sang. And it was great! I loved it!

   
  We banged out the three services on Sat & Sun and it was
  totally fun. Yes! So fun! And I worked hard enough on my solo to not be
  dependant on the screen or sheet music. I might have freaked out if the screen
  NEVER came on, but it definitely was a breakthrough in that regard. I loved it.
  LOVED IT!!!

   
  Alright…Happy B-Day Mike! Great seeing you yesterday. It’s
  time to move up here now…
