There’s this…….i wrote a new song last night. We had finshed up praise team practice and i decided to hang around just to play a little bit. i’ve recenlty written a new melody to “O God Our Help in Ages Past” and i enjoy singing around with that. then i just started messing around on the piano with a new melody and some words popped into my head that might go with it and pretty soon, the first verse was done and i was already starting to sing the chorus. i’ll never get used to how weird it is to feel like there is a song just waiting to be written……it’s like i get this sort of restless feeling….and i can’t leave the piano bench. it’s almost like i’m trying to remember something….maybe a feeling or thoughts i had recently….and now it’s time for everything to stop running around and just come together in a song. i’m sure there’s a better way to say that, just can’t think of it right now.
Then there’s that…..i found a new nail color this week. it’s called “Berry Daring” and i really like it. i liked it so much that i decided to wear it on my toes, too. it’s probably the last toe-painting session cause pretty soon the sandals will have to be put away and the toes will be hidden under warm socks and shoes. (well actually, it stays pretty warm until November…..but sandals in November just don’t seem right)
Then there’s this……we have a game tonight. we’ll get home around 11:30 and then have to be back at the school at 6:00AM to leave for a band competition in Alabama. We’ll get home from that trip around 2AM on Sunday morning!! yikes!
Then there’s that……i’ve registered for the Write About Jesus conference. I am so excited! I missed it last year and promised myself I wouldn’t do that again! I may actually go this year and just soak up the classes and not worry about entering the contest. Contests just make me nervous. and i when i enter them, it’s all i think about and i want to win. so i’m thinking that if i go and don’t worry about taking a song with me, then i can really just enjoy the whole experience. there are critiquing sessions where you can have a song be heard and critiqued but not worry about how it stacks up against everyone else. i don’t know….still thinking on that one.
