Whether I like it or not....




  Last night I found out that I was in fact cast in Hello Dolly. As a towns person. Now, I'm less than enthused by the part, but honestly, I don't think I would have been happy about any part. 
 
  When I got the email, disappointment washed over me. Opportunities of travel had come up, and I really really wanted to do that. After being angry and talking to my mom and some friends, I knew that unless I was willing to blatantly disobey God, I had no choice as to whether I was going to accept the part. God told me to audition, so me getting a part, means He wants me in the play. 

  I literally sat down on my bed and cried. I was mourning my summer. Today, my attitude about it is better. I know that God has a good reason for wanting this for me, but I'm not happy about it. I'm praying that changes. I need to be obedient and cheerful about it.

  1. Maybe it'll out to be a blessing in disguise :) everything seems to work out for the best, even if it seems crazy at the time. Either way, I'm sure you'll do great :)

  2. I know you've probably heard this from about a million people already, but I just thought I'd say, that I understand the disappointment of having to let fun ideas and plans go from your finger tips. But if it's truly where God wants you to be, then this play experience is probably going to blow your mind. So maybe it will help to remember that no matter what happens, this summer is going to be awesome. Think of all the cool people you'll get to meet in this play and the amazing experiences you'll get to have. I worked backstage for musicals when I was in high school and those were some of the best times I had in my high school career. Love you!!
