I was looking forward to this time – today – for several reasons.
One was that I would be done with the drama presentation for Easter at Church. I felt like this was a big challenge. I hadn’t acted seriously at church before – I had only done a children’s Christmas musical – which is acting…. Nonetheless, this play “At the Bridge” was heavy duty.
There were many times I said, “I really don’t want to do this!” and yet, I did – after all, who am I to turn down a divine appointment that includes public performance? Certainly not me.
Despite a first service sound challenge (My mic actually fell into my jacket – ha! Things went well. I got lots of very positive feedback for my performance including, things like "That is the most real church play I have ever seen." and "I totally forgot you two were actors" and "I forgot you were Julie - I was feeling so bad for you up there." (That one made me laugh!)
One older lady said to me, "Wow, we have professional actors here." Well, it is true - I have gotten paid for acting.
It is intriguing – even in reading my words today, they look tired. I need to have a “Calgon, take me away moment” – or perhaps drink a bit of water or run the stairs. I think I’ll go drink water.
Count down until rehearsal tomorrow. I am so excited about it – that will keep me going, too!
