And the fearless year continues for this girl, not that I have had time to become too complacent in this new adventure I am already embarking on, but it's time to make some friends. Apparently, there is more to life than reruns of Sherlock and Doctor Who and fun fruits. Who knew? Working on finding a church, but it will appear there are no folks my age who attend church in the city of Macon, so time to see if there are nerdy folks here at all. I decided to at least one of my degrees (even if it is just a minor) and audition for a play!
Let's just say I have never been more nervous than walking into the Macon Little Theatre. I haven't had to do a cold read audition since my freshman year of college. The experience didn't get any easier I am afraid as the night progressed it became obvious that everyone there were all friends and had performed in numerous plays together. I was under-rehersed. But alas, I went in with yellow chucks tied tight and a bow atop my head. There is something about chucks and bows that make me feel a little more confident. Perhaps they are childish, but they make me feel like me. I read for three parts. No idea how I did, as I said everyone was very good, plus there is one more day of auditions, but I was happy I went through with it. Never thought I would have missed slipping into another character center stage, but I really have.
I am a firm believer that God never gives you dreams unless he intends on helping you to achieve it. While my unrealistic dream of being in an actual film or TV show is a bit of a stretch, I can perform on a small stage and have a good time doing so. Being fearless isn't about taking risks and making your life better, it's about being content where you are, and allowing God to use the dreams in your heart to be a better you. Live your life more fully. Even if I don't get a role, I tried. Something to mark off my list. NO matter what comes next I pray I am confident enough and fearless enough to jump in both feet and trust God to catch me.
