Greetings to all who have come across this. I have been a great supporter of Masquer for about 3 years, and decided at the end of the last show to join the cast. I have always felt that I live a very blessed life, and what has brought me to join is the feeling that God has this in store to be a large part of this chapter in my life, as well as, after a while of not having a strong opportunity to spread His word, really would like this to fill that gap, while at the same time, strengthening my foundation in the fellowship of the wonderful people who are a part of it. I had named my blog with the idea that, in unity, we can accomplish great feats with His guidance and support, and to remind myself of what it is I am aiming for in this.
Stepping into the first rehearsal, I really didn't know what to expect. I have been to many of the rehearsals of the previous shows, but never the first one. I have a shy side that I try desperately to overcome, and this was a standing example of such, especially when everyone was introducing themselves. I had gotten the cast contact information sheet just when it was my turn to speak. I did my best to speak up and do it, and I seemed to do alright at the sound of everyone clapping at the fact that I had finally joined after being around for so long. So I had taken a sigh of relief only to find that I couldn't stop my hand from shaking enough to write down my information. I ended up holding on to it until I could calm down enough to handle it, but the feeling was tense, even, at times, in familiar places with familiar people.
I pray that God will give me the strength to overcome this so that I can help spread the joyous message of the true meaning of Christmas to those who are in need of such.
