A Proud, Humble Heart

It's an oxymoron, I know.  I have a proud, humble heart.  I am so very proud because my oldest two children, Joseph and Crystal, auditioned for Camp Lejeune's rendition of the Lion King and they both landed parts!  The kids' summer camp program (kindergarten through sixth grade) will put on the musical at the end of the summer.  These two have never been in a play or never have the auditioned for anything yet practiced, auditioned, and made it!  Joseph is the understudy for Mufasa and is also in the chorus.  Crystal is in the singing and dancing ensemble.  She will wear some sort of animal costume.

I have a humble heart, too.  When they told me they wanted to audition I was nervous for them.  I sorely underestimated their ability.  I truly didn't think they'd make it since they have no experience and are two of the youngest kids in the camp program.  When I prayed, I prayed for God to let them have a good experience, not to be hurt or disappointed with the results, and I prayed for wisdom in helping them understand the experience.

Little did I know they would not only try out but they would land parts!  God humbled my heart right-quick.  He helped me see that it wasn't my children's ability I was underestimating but rather it was His.

I'd say it was a good lesson with good results!  I sure am one proud Momma.

I know I have been terribly behind with this blog.  I have great intentions of keeping up with it again...IOC, moving, and summer are got in the way of that :)
