Our Recital

Well, yesterday we had our very first official choir recital! :) It went very well actually. I wasn't nervous before until Sarah began questioning me as to whether I was nervous after all, but by the time we left the house, I was not nervous. Pretty much every song went off with hardly a glitch, and we even managed to do alot of "seat-shifting" in the midst of it between Sarah and I. (Our choir is only 12 members, so some of us switch from being second sopranos to altos or tenors or wherever we are needed. We are *flexible* :) It was a real answer to prayer for me, because I had been praying pretty hard that we would "sing like we had never sung before- in the best way". I added that little part in after remembering that God sometimes gives you exactly what you pray for, and I didn't want to sing worse than we'd ever done before! :)
Anyway, it all went by super fast, and sounded....very good. Even The King's Daughter was pleased with it! :) After singing, we had a potluck dinner with everyone there. I would guess that with all of our families and the other guests, there were probably.....75 people? We got invited to sing at someone else's church. Oodalolly. I am not too happy about that, because our fine "piano player player piano...player" is the pastor's wife at the church we had our recital at, and couldn't come to the other church unless it was a Sunday night or a Wednesday. We simply can't do without her. :(
We washed up dishes, reset tables, and then went and played some "Victory Games" of volleyball at our Choir Director's house. Yay! Well, I had better get going! I am excited about church today! We are having everyone that usually comes, plus the county building inspector and his three sons. (probably) It was so cute, because they called earlier this week to ask what we wear at our church! :) I never think twice about it. It is sort of a "whatever tidy and neat clothes you can muster" sort of thing around here! :)
