Cantor

     Yesterday, the 22nd of July, I sang Psalm 23 as the Cantor at Saint Angela Merici at Sienna Plantation in Missouri City. I had worked the  night before and so I rushed home to sleep for an hour before attending mass with my family.  My husband woke me up 45 minutes before the service.  I hurridly dressed up (That's all I had to do) and we drove to church.  a 10 minute ride. We practiced 1 time and then the Sunday service started. Later, as I was singing at the altar, I thought my voice was still asleep.  I was glad to hear from one of the sopranos that I did well.  On our way out, one of my friends and co-worker assured me that I did well.  I reallly needed to hear that 'coz I didn't think so.
    I cannot stop thanking the Lord for using me this way.  I love to sing Alto and Karaoke ; I never thought one day I would step it up and sing Psalms on a Sunday mass in front of the public.  I was just saying to myself earlier how amazing it's been to be able to fulfill my life long dreams ... to sing solo in church.  When I was young, I sang at the Basco Cathedral Choir.  I was either base or alto. I was never asked to sing soprano, much more be a Soloist and sometimes after the mass or "Salve" I would belt it out at home.  I would sing "Adios Reyna del Cielo".... imagining that I was doing the deed .  Anyways, I feel fulfilled.  At this time in my life, I've pretty much met my dreams.  To marry a husband like my own Cyrus, have a great job, my own business, a fancy car and 2 nice trucks, 3 beautiful healthy and smart children, alive and healthy parents (God bless my late Mom, Annie who joined the lLord in 1971), and my own home; not to mention 2 beautiful dogs!  What more can I ask for?  Maybe TRAVEL to THE HOLY LAND!  At Last I can ask God for that.
