Dear migraine...I felt your presence earlier this afternoon but I chose to ignore you and carry on. Maybe not my best decision of late...I barely made it home from Praise Makers this evening due to the shooting pain and sudden nausea. Thanks for that! It didnt help that when I went to put the CD in the CD player to practice our song for the Christmas celebration (Sunday 6pm...be there) IT was NOT in the case! After I searched high and low I found a backup CD that I made (just in case) and we attempted practice with it...only to find, it was too high for the kiddos to sing. PANIC...only choice, besides NO practice while curling up in fetal position crying at defeat. I excused myself, (in ugly panic mode...to say the least...ashamed) drove home and found it in the Phineas & Ferb CD player in the boys room, exactly where Tyson said it would be. :-( Mad dash back to church, with police officer following me...he turned around at the credit union and then followed me...maybe Im paranoid, maybe God was just reminding me to slow down. :-) Back to Praise Makers...practice, practice, practice...get in Sanctuary to practice with BIG choir and orchestra. All the littles are lined up looking precious...wide eyed, in awe of Mr. Billy...when they begin to sing the other song that we did NOT practice right before we got there. Ha ha ha BUT...the good news is...they are stinking adorable! And clearly they can just stand there and do their thing which may or may not be singing every 20th word with gusto and BE adorable! During the FULL run through of the medley...ALL of the Praise Makers/Mission Friends TEAM gave 110% tonight (as always) and I got tickled watching us all put the littles back on their step when they moved too far, literally jumped from the steps, held shirts over their heads, some even sat down/laid down with their face on the floor, picked their nose and wiped it on their neighbor (HEY! Its preschool choir...just keeping it real). In the middle of the medley Mikey left his second row step walked right up to me and said can we go home? I jus wanna sing Happy Birfday Jesus...and I jus dont know this song berry goodly Hey buddy thats ok...you just smile and sing what you do know...Im very proud of you for standing like a good soldier on stage. Oh I can do dat!!! I be a good soldier By the time I got home this evening I was in tears...from YOU my dear friend, migraine...Scott took over, and I fell in bed at approximately 7:30 PM and now Im wide awake...THINKING of everything I fell short on today, BUT you know what, it all worked out and it always does, in spite of me. The Port Neches Christmas Parade (sat) is officially cancelled...when I got my call from the Chamber of Commerce today I was not surprised and I was thankful that so many beautiful ladies know my heart, and my control freak like tendencies...and theyve been praying me through this week...which resulted in me NOT opening all the decorations and start decorating the trailer on Monday (which was MY plan) so I will JOYously (is that a word?) return all the supplies. But my heart is SAD because our day incorporated more than just the parade BUT Im trusting God knows what, and why...and His plan is always WAY better than mine. I was reminded tonight...even when I plan and practice it doesnt really matter if Im singing the wrong song...but you still SHOW up and BE adorable...sometimes thats all He wants! Life is Good!
