Workshop

This past Thursday, I had my first workshop through AMTC. It was a singing workshop and I was full of nerves and excitement. I wasn't sure what to expect, if I would get one-on-one conferencing or working with a small group. Turns out, that there were about 33 people at the workshop. They ranged from singer-song writers to broadway singers to pop singers. I was a bit nervous when they said that they were going to put us into three groups and then we would have to sing acapella.




I have been working on a couple of songs since my orientation. But I still don't feel comfortable singing without music. I not only had to sing in front of my coach (who has about 30 years experience in the music industry working for Sony!), but we were all in the same room and I had to sing in front of everyone. Now, I know what you're thinking, isn't this the whole purpose of what I set out to do? Sing for the world and spread God's word. Yes. But, I still have a hard time singing in front of people.




It makes me think about all the preparation that those in the Bible went through in order to do God's will. Some had studied the works of God for a long time before they went into the world, while others had no experience what so ever. This is part of that preparation, singing in front of others. I also prayed about in the very beginning that this was also about the journey and not the destination. What can and will the Lord teach me about His love and faithfulness along the way? I know that there will definitely be obstacles as I go, but keeping in mind that I need to lean upon the Lord when those come across my path and He will lead me through it all.




I can't wait for the next workshop and all that the Lord has in store for me till then!
