Everyone's Talented

Today, I can never forget these words from someone, "everyone's talented so don't be afraid to show them what you got". Because of this, I became inspired to use my talent in sharing my faith through music.

This Saturday afternoon, we are invited to sing in Naic Seventh Day Adventist Church. As soon as we arrived there, we were warmly welcomed by everyone and we felt their heartfelt appreciation for seeing us there. We were ushered to the backstage for some preparations while the little children in there are singing praises to God. I realized that age must not be a hindrance for us to worship our God.

Then introductions were made and we made our way to the stage. There was quite a large number of people and our performance will be recorded, so overall, it really makes me nervous!During the first part, all the songs were accompanied by the piano and we sang a total of 8 songs. It was alright and we were very happy to be able to finish that part well.

Then after resting for awhile we were back for the second part composing of acapella pieces so this time, it is harder. It is pleasant to see that everyone is enjoying our performance so it's worth it. Then after another 5 songs, we went backstage and changed our uniforms. We were followed by the younger kids who are playing their flutes. But during their instrumental number, a shocking occurrnce took place. One of the children collapsed in fron of the stage while playing. They said that it is because he just came from the hospital and the intense heat triggered it all. It caused a big commotion among the people so the last part was delayed.

After everything was cleared and medical assistance was given to him, we were back once again. We had the VOP part wherein all of us will have our solos. I was very nervous that time thinking that maybe I will suddenly forget the lines and mess it all up. But thankfully, it all ended up well. We sang our last song, "Good Old Gosple Singing" and it was followed by the church pastor's prayer.
