Stage Fright!!!!!

Hey guys! Just wanted to write about an experience I had....
There was this song I had been practicing for a couple weeks and I finally
had a chance to sing it!! I was pretty nervous when I sang it!!lol
Thanks to Roland [he is sooo gifted! God has truly gave him a special talent for
the piano and many other instruments!!] so anywho the song is called "I don't want
to go somewhere" by avalon but I originally heard it from a youth camp cd.
So I asked my Pastor about me singing it and he said he would love it if I sang.
I told Roland the good news! So came Sunday and I was super nervous throughout
the day! I put a note saying I was singing....my cue to go on the platform was when
they were picking up the offering. I quickly made my way onto the platform...
I always sing on the praise team and I never get nervous but for some odd reason
I was super nervous!! you know how they say if you are in front of a big crowd
to imagine everyone in their underwear? well that trick didnt work on me lol so I
tried concentrating on the clock that we have in the back but that didnt work...
so as soon as the music began to play I closed my eyes.. and I sang the song....I
tuned everything out except the piano and drums..after service that night I had compliments
that I think I didnt deserve...I didnt feel worthy of them you can say...I said A LOT of "thank yous" that night...lol...I really dont like singing solos a lot...I dont like being put on the spot... but I came to realize that, that talent God gave me, He gave it to me for a reason. For it to be used for Him...
I didnt sing the song for anyone but for Him! He trusts me and has faith in me that I will
use it... I wont sing a song for another 5 months! lol thank you everyone for
those beautiful compliments! God Bless everyone! ~liz <3>
