unpredictability
well, in retaliation to the horrible first part of the day i had yesterday, by the time i went to bed i was actually grinning from ear to ear and feeling quite elated!
from lj'ing, our Senior Pastoral Leader Rosie was supposed to come over, and 45 minutes after she was supposed to arrive i called her to check that she was okay, and she had just had a disaster at work and was about to call me, so we decided to meet at 7.00, after Youth Music ended and before Adult Music started, so we could go through some of the songs that i've written.
well, we went through them (as we have been doing for about 2 months now and have pretty much finalised 2 of them), then at music practice when we seperated into singers and musos, after we went tr hrough the 2 songs we were learning that night, she got me up to teach everyone the 2 songs i had finished.
it's funny, in drama i can get up and make the biggest fool of myself, i can be an absolute idiot an dhave no one in the audience laugh and feel stupid, but i can still smile. well, i stood up in front of the 20 singers and felt like i was about to cry. i was so scared.
i started to explain one of the songs, which was played on cd at the Convention we had in July, so i introduced it saying that some of you may recognise it, then he realised it was that song and he was like 'oh my gosh, this song is amazing. i remember listening to it and wanting to get a copy of it so i could hear it again' and i was like 'paul, you have no idea how much i needed to hear that!'
so i played both of them, then we started to teach everyone 'dedicate' (the one played at convo) and then afterwards everyone was so supportive and positive, and they were all congratulating me and telling me that i have a gift for writing, and i felt so over-the-moon!
like, i dont care if they were making it up and saying it to make me feel better, i felt so amazing and so loved and so much like God is working through me.
i feel amazing. i dont think amything could shatter my mood right now.
then megan came over today cos she got her lisence yesterday and we went out for lunch then watched Napoleon Dymamite.
it was pretty fun. i dunno if i liked the movie, it was a bit wierd, but funny still. i dont think it lived up to the hype i was told about it tho.
anyway, im going to go work on some songs.
love you all
