I have to say, this year, I was not AS nervous as I was last year. Probably because I knew he'd done this before, and he had done just fine last year! EJ sang with the 1-6 grade choir to open the service (this is not MY recording--someone had their camera right in front of EJ's face the whole time, so I got her recording!): I have a huge regret regarding this. The kids stood up there for about 5 minutes before church started--the leader wanted to make sure she got everyone in place correctly and all that. EJ and the taller boy next to him were hilarious during those 5 minutes! They made faces at each other and were just generally acting like silly little boys. I loved it (other than the fact that they were standing in front of the entire church!). I found out later that they both like the same girl and they both think they are going to marry her. We'll see how their friendship weathers the teen years! :-) Next, EJ preached. It wasn't an option on the sign up sheet, so I just asked about it and they said he could. It's kinda hard to understand him, but he did an awesome job! I'm so proud of him. (And I didn't know he would pause like that to make sure everyone had time to turn to his passage!) For offertory, EJ and I played a piano duet. We practiced this song about a million times, and you know how there's always that one note you get wrong no matter how many times you practice? Well, EJ had a note just like that. Course, I messed up, too, but my head was in a million places. This is our first duet together. The book has a bunch more, so maybe we can learn them and play them for Spanish church offertory. The little girl who sung the special music did a good job. She's about 5 or 6, and on the second verse, she sang the first line and stopped. Then she whipped out a cheat sheet from behind her back and finished her song. It was adorable! I wish I had a video of it. All in all, children's night was a smashing success! I can't wait until next year.

Who am I, you ask?
In 2006 I had a stroke, and every day my husband encourages me to use my remaining brain cells to the best of my ability. I love to organize, make crafts, and go on adventures (safe ones). I hope that through my blog posts, you will be encouraged to accept and make the best of challenges God throws at your life. Categories
