Get it? Cloud Nine? I'm on Cloud Nine because I'm coming home in Nine Days. But I'm also in the Pit of Despair because I have to perfom one of my pieces for a judge TOMORROW. Suffice it to say I am NOT where I wanted to be by this time, and then on Tuesday I go to my College audition where I have to play Both my pieces Memorized, and then next Friday I'm in the recital! The good thing about all of this is that I'll be finished by the time I go home, and whatever the results are, they'll be out of my hands. Like most type A people, there are many, many, many times when I'd like to be in control. Sometimes though, it's a good feeling to do your best and then let the chips fall where they may, and the worrying part is over. And I can honestly say I have done my best in the practicing realm of things. Know that I will be calling my Dad to have him pray for me before all three of these events. I don't know if I've ever performed without having my Dad pray for me, and I wish I could say it takes away the butterflies and I always do swimmingly, but at the minimum, it staves off the panic attacks as I walk up to the bench. Ok gotta go practice. Cheers!Thursday, February 25, 2010

It's ok Kara; I am a little nervous too, but we know that the judges won't bite, that this is not life and death, and that it will all be over soon :) Besides, it is not too bad; and you will enjoy your trip home that much more, because it will all be behind you :) Good Luck, and
I'll be praying for you too :)
Love your fellow sorta nervous piano player :)

Kara, I am sure you will do famously, even if it is at an unearthly hour. Relax, trust God, and try to have fun :) ~ Sarah
