I can sing I can sing I can....

Saturday night I had a nice buzz going on. Boot and Bottles Karaoke night here we come. The SEM loaded up with Randy and Crysta in tot and headed over. It was Nick's birthday and he's a karaoke man.

He sang The Thunder roll and the crowd of 11 people cheered on.

The 4 other people in the bar went up and took their turn. No future Voice winners but they did their thing. Nick asked me if I would sing a duet with him. Me? Um no. C'mon, you can do it. Crysta then volunteered to sing with me and I whispered yes. Nick ran up and put our name on the list. I looked at Nate and asked him if I could do it. Whiskey Lullaby was the song of choice. He said, "You could do anything you wanted to. But will it be decent is the right question." Or something like that. I went to a separate table to listen to the next karaoke singer shout her song and I started to cry.

I really really wish I hadn't.  I was so scared. I had so much fear in me. I couldn't do it. I couldn't get up there and sing in front of all these people. (11) Nick saw me and went up and removed our name. I walked up to him and told him not to do that. I told him that singing karaoke was on my goal list and I needed to do this. "Great," the DJ said, "Y'all are next!" GULP

"Cassie's passed out in the bathroom."

"Sabrina and Nick you're up!"

Just as they were calling us up our friend passed out in the bathroom and we had to take her home. Saved by the ????

So what about my goal list? I have to face my fear. I have to get this feeling of defeat out of my head. My plan is to practice 1 song and get up there and do it.  When? I don't know but I'm not going to let my fear beat me. I've overcome and done so much. I won't let fear win.

Prayers Request

Please pray for Howie this morning. If that's not your thing cross your fingers and toes. We were told yesterday that he has colon cancer. The exact severity to be determined this morning at 11 o'clock.   Please pray that his road to recover is the same or similar to Nate's. Howie is the head of this family. We are use to him leading us during time of despair or crisis. Nobody is prepared for this. Prayers please.
