Well.......
Well, the singing in church is over and done with. And it went something like this. Dad plays intro. Shayla looks at Mom and says nothing. Mom looks at Shayla and starts to cue her. Shayla gets off the chair, Dad stops playing. Shayla says, "I'm not ready." Mom say, "Ready or not, it's time to sing." Shayla stands back up on the chair, Dad plays intro. Shayla yells, "Daddy, I'm not ready!" Mom takes Shayla off the chair and notices the 1st counselor turning off the microphone so my naughty words aren't heard throughout the chapel (he knows me a little too well and affectionately calls me Potty Mouth). Mom makes eye contact with her sister and starts to giggle. Mom then bribes Shayla with everything she can (I think she might be getting a Mercedes for her 16th birthday). Mom tells Shayla the only choice she has is to stand on the chair and sing, or to have Mom hold her and sing. Shayla opts for Mom to hold her. Mom picks up Shayla and gives Dad a nod. Dad plays intro. Shayla looks at Mom and says nothing. Mom looks at Dad and says start one more time, then turns to Shayla and says, "Mom will sing with you." Dad plays intro. Shayla starts to sing. Mom sings quietly with Shayla. Shayla gets to the chorus and can't hold back any longer. Shayla sings with all her heart. Mom sings the second verse. Mom makes the HUGE mistake of looking away from Shayla at the congregation. Mom starts to cry. Shayla looks at Mom. Shayla starts to sing the third verse while Mom tries to get her composure. Mom and Shayla sing the rest of the song. Dad starts to cry. Dad cannot see the music or the piano keys any longer. Mom and Dad walk off the stand in tears. Shayla wants her treat.

Shayla,
I am so proud of you. Heavenly Father has blessed you with a beautiful voice and I am sure that He was so pleased with you yesterday. I know that it is scarry to do anything in front of an audience, I get scared too.
I wish that we could have been there to hear you sing.
I love you.
Love, Grandma Chago
that's so funny! I nearly peed my pants! I wish we could have been there-sounds like a memorable day! way to go, shayla!!
Shayla, keep practicing so you can sing it for us at Kevin and Kelley's house in a couple of weeks. Hopefully we won't be as scary. I am very proud of you. I cry whenever I have to do anything at the microphone and I've never even sung at it. Isn't she getting a $50,000 wedding, too?
The moment has been caputred well and accurately. It was fun to be there in support, even if I wasn't much of a support it sounds like. Lynette, your giggles and tears weren't very obvious to me so no worries there. Shalya did much better with her number than I did on my solo last month. Singing at the microphone in church is scary. I loved Shayla holding the "L" at the end of each chorus, "...the Lord of all."
I get to hear all about how wonderful you guys did in church on sunday but am so sad i didn't get to be there to see it. Good Job you guys! You have way more gutts than have ever or will ever have!
