Made It! Two 7:30 Performances

So today, I was scheduled to perform in two shows. One was an a cappella concert and the other was a songwriter showcase for my songwriting class. Both performances began at 7:30pm. ...Yeah, it was an interesting night...

For the past week I've been talking with people to try to arrange things to make everything work. I tried to do impossible math, like whether an a cappella group with a three-song set that performs after two other groups with three-song sets would be singing before or after a couple dozen one-song acts in a building that is a three-minute run away. Gosh, it stressed me out! I worked it over and over in my head, and switched things around and back again. I prayed for help, as well. More than anything, I needed to keep calm, and deep down I truly felt all along that everything would work out. It didn't stop me from worrying though.

My a cappella group sang, and I ran to my other concert with four one-song acts to spare. I had so much fun performing in both concerts. The amazing thing was that I really could have left both performance orders the way they were and it would work out. I truly didn't have to worry and fuss over it nearly as much as I did. Everything worked out, and I thanked God for it.

Now, I'm sure that everything could have worked out even if I didn't pray to God for help. But, I truly believe that all good things come from God, and tonight's successes were certainly good things. I am grateful that everything worked out with my two 7:30pm concerts today.

P.S.--One of the songs I performed tonight was one I wrote, expressing my thoughts and feelings about America and the 2016 elections here. People seemed to really enjoy the song, so I think it's worth sharing. Here it is.
