I have not written a blog in over a month now, and that is not good. I am writing this blog in the middle of the night with an uneasy mind and weary in my well doing. Since the last time I have blogged, I have done 2 auditions. I have one more audition on Monday. My 2 auditions went really well. I have gone in with no fear of the high note, and put my all into these auditions, and I feel really good about how they went. I have not heard from anybody that I have auditioned for and it worries me. The one that I did Tuesday said that we would hear back by yesterday, and that has now passed. So, here I am in the middle of the night trying to figure out what it is that has me being overlooked. I know that I have got the chops, and anybody around the city can vouch for that. I sing for all of these groups that I am one of the best then, but when I try to further my career in the professional realm, something seems to be wrong. I know that singers are told no, more than they are told yes, but that is not easy to deal with. Singing is a very personal thing because the voice is part of me. I begin to wonder has it all been in vain? Should I get a real job and put my singing on the backburner? I don’t really feel comfortable putting my feelings out there like that because I always exude confidence when it comes to the Melodious Tones, but we all have our low points. I have a supportive group of people that help me along my journey, and I guess I am just in need of a little encouragement. I do believe that the Lord didn’t bring me this far, just to leave me, but I can’t say that I don’t feel no ways tired.
I’ll end this blog with one of Shirley Caesar’s classics:
You’re Next in Line for a Miracle
Have you ever walked with the Lord all night long,
wondering how you were going to pay your bills?
And a still small voice says, "be strong",
"sometimes struggle is my will".
And they were late, I'm always all time,
get ready for your miracle, move to the front of the line;
today is your day, you're next in line for a miracle".
A miracle, the Holy Ghost said, "it's your miracle"
you're next in line for your miracle.
Chorus:
You're next in line for a miracle,
your breakthrough.
You're next in line for a miracle,
you have kept the faith,
today is your day for a miracle.
Vamp 1:
Today is your day.
Vamp 2:
Today is your day;
take it by faith, take it by faith.
Ending:
Today is your day for a miracle.
