Poultry Tale

Fridays I don't have ANY classes.
This is a wonderful time for me to catch up on life, do laundry, do homework, organize my life, run errands, and apparently audition for CYT shows.

Yes.
I ungraduated.
UNINTENTIONALLY.
Friday came and I was sitting there thinking about Honk! auditions that my friends were going to that night and all of a sudden I was overcome with the urge to audition.

Now...I have a track record with making impulsive decisions regarding shows and the like (Becoming Greenroom...High School Musical...) so I kind of saw this coming and I called up KP asking to talk me out of my impulse. That did not work. So I message Matthew Silar assuming HE would talk me out of it in one way or another. Instead of talking me out of it he laid out my options for me. Upon which I discovered auditioning for Honk! MADE SENSE. So Matt flipped a coin. Honk was tails (tale..poultry tale..haha) and Alice (which I had planned on auditioning for) was heads. But I did not want him to tell me until AFTER I had pray-fully made my decision.

I turned to my Bible and my devo for the day (usually I do my devos at night b/c then I can reflect on the day and it just works better for my mind set) but for some reason I thought it would be good to read at 4:00 in the afternoon. My devo was about giving EVERYTHING to God and letting HIM take over and changing your day in an instant. That's when I knew. I was auditioning for Honk!

Coincidentally, Matt's coin had landed on tails.

Skip to 3am on Saturday. I slept over at KP's and heard her phone go off 10000 times with a text message about call backs being listed. I went to check to see that God had provided. I had been called back for the role that I wanted in addition with two other extremely wonderful parts. An answered prayer. It has been over three years since I have been considered for the part I had been auditioning for and the fact that I had gotten this call back off of a split second decision made me just all the more aware of God's plan and timing.

Call backs came and went and were fun and afterward I was completely at ease (you know minus the super long waiting period...haha) The cast list came up and I have to say I am just so excited and proud of every single person who auditioned. The talent is HUGE in this show and a lot of opportunities have been given to really deserving individuals.

This weekend has been so unlike any audition/call back experience I've ever had and I am just so grateful and thankful and BLESSED. God is SO good. Always. I have learned so much about blindly trusting and relying on HIM and I cannot WAIT to see what He has in store for this show. [:

on a side note I started classes last week and I guess I'm still trying to get used to it. College is SO different from High School and I'm not sure I like it. It's hard because it seems everyone knows SOMEONE because most students have other friends from their high school in their classes or just with similar schedules while I have not seen really anyone I know. But again, I trust God will help me through this and provide as always.

As for my classes themselves, I have some pretty great (embarrassing) stories from my first week of classes hahaha but overall I am most excited for my acting class. I wish I could just take that class every day all day. It's great and I feel I'm going to learn SO MUCH [:


Looking forward to life and getting through this fall, relying on HIM fully. I feel lots of changes and lessons in growing up are headed my way but with God by my side, what have I to fear? :]
