The Sunday school teachers (I included) created the service. We planned it, and made the bulletins, and assigned parts, we did everything. By the time Sunday came we didn't have one full practice, and Miss Cae here didn't practice her solo more than once, oops ;) Well we did a run through at 9, and it went well. When we got to my solo we tried to have me sing with Pearl, one of the students. Pearl was playing the piano and I would be sining. Let me just say it is really really hard to match your speed to the piano. As a singer I'm used to the piano matching my speed, so when I tried to match Pearl's speed not only did I completely mess up the timing, but I messed up the lyrics. I looked at Mom and simply said "I can't do it. Please, let me do it a Capella."
Mom understood, as a singer herself, and let me sing it a Capella. So my second try, a Capella, was absolutely amazing. It even gave me goosebumps. One of the children told their mother that I should be on American Idol. I love the kids I get to teach :)
When the service finally started, and it went all good. No problems at all. We've noticed that whenever we feel stressed that something the Sunday school is doing something and we haven't practiced, it always comes out great. I guess we should keep in mind we're in church, and are a Sunday school. But yet, it always amazes us.
Anyway, when it got to my solo, Pearl played the first verse and then I was going to re-sing the first verse a Capella. Well the congregation missed the memo in the bulletin and decided to join me in the first verse. It was a great way to ease my nerves, and by the important part for me they all got the hint and shut up. By the end of my solo I felt great and was really happy that I did fairly well.
So, you're probably gonna want to hear this solo now that I've completely made it my whole blog post. Well I'm one step ahead of you and already uploaded it onto my Youtube account and I might as well add it onto my blog for ya'll to hear.
God bless,
Cae
