I was asked about 5 minutes before mass started if I would do the readings, which I agreed to. Then I went to see which visiting priest we had and ask about the opening song. Today's priest, asked me to do it because "he doesn't sing." I laughed and said, "I don't either but I'll try my best."<br /><br />Again, it was not my finest moment with some notes sung off key but I did it for Our Lord!noreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512311149461187879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975787531348798866.post-69062744453232741212011-11-21T08:24:17.565-06:002011-11-21T08:24:17.565-06:00You are brave indeed.

But shhhh, I don't want God hearing me say that or I'll be right where you were, challenged in the moment. And unlike you I would run outta there so fast! Good ol' growth spurts from God.

My husband recently admitted that he likes to hear me sing Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat (which I sing at the top of my lungs while cleaning) because it is so amusing--meaning I am that bad I make my husband laugh. I love to sing, I'm just not any good! <br /><br />Thank God you were given the grace to go through that alive and come out stronger!Sarah Harkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064673794877417232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975787531348798866.post-90262574764880649282011-11-19T08:52:44.995-06:002011-11-19T08:52:44.995-06:00Victor ~ you are hilarious!

What is also intimidating about it is the fact5 that I was singing into a microphone so I could hear it loud and clear!!<br /><br />I think yesterday was the only time I will be leading the congregation in the opening song. Unless, our pastor is back from his retreat and will be leading it next Friday. He typically leads us and is happy to do so.noreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512311149461187879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975787531348798866.post-12631019006290174612011-11-19T08:50:18.286-06:002011-11-19T08:50:18.286-06:00Stephanie~ what is that saying?

I do feel like I've been called to be more active in my faith with some leadership roles and it is challenging.

Lately, I have found myself pushed into a leadership position in a particular area of my life. I have really felt that God is stretching me to be more than I think I can be. Perhaps this is your case right now, too. I'm sure you sang beautifully and I believe it WAS your finest moment because you did what God asked of you. : ) Loved the post.

I'm sure you weren't as bad as all that - most of us think we're not that good, because we're comparing ourselves to others - but good or bad vocalist qualities aside - singing IS praying twice, right?<br /><br />I just found your blog, and am so happy that I stopped by!<br /><br />~Peace,<br />LuAnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975787531348798866.post-6348641238908765242011-11-18T15:50:59.292-06:002011-11-18T15:50:59.292-06:00You are one brave lady!

I'd have only been asked once though. No one with any sense would ask me a second time after hearing my voice. I am very lucky that we do have a few readers and singers in our family. I can always volunteer one of them in my place.<br /><br />I know God loves each and every one of our voices and that quality doesn't matter but being the lead voice...<br /><br />Anyway, well done! I admire your courage.<br /><br />Noreen, did you receive my email about the I Blog Jesus award? I hope you will feel able to accept.<br /><br />God bless!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.com
