Some of you may have seen the picture I've put on this blog entry before...
I can't find the post on Facebook now, but as I was transitioning from Wappingers to PUMC, my beloved high school music teacher, Polly James, posted on one of my statuses about joining choir. I told her that when I was done with school (3rd and FINAL, yes FINAL degree) I would. And as I finished school in May, 2020...we were still in a pandemic and there was no choir to be had.
Now, almost a full year after finishing, I am completely excited about choir rehearsal coming up THIS THURSDAY!!!!! I am fulfilling my promise, a year later. But at least the delay wasn't my fault!
While I am very excited about this, I am also a bit nervous. I'm still working on my vocal range. It has gotten better, thanks to being able to lead worship through song with smaller groups on a monthly basis. And, well, I sing a lot in the car! So those things have definitely helped. I know a few people in the choir already, or at least that I knew had been in choir before, but I'm sure I don't know everyone. And, there is always the introverted part of me that worries about being in new groups or large groups.
But I am trying to let the excitement overcome the nerves.
I am excited that I get to sing with a group of people.
I am excited that I get to exercise my voice again.
I am excited that I get to participate in church in a new-at-PUMC way.
I am excited that I get to sing a lot more now!
And I am excited that I get to finally fulfill a promise I made what seems like so long ago!
