My emotional rollercoaster ride has settled. The director of the show stopped me in the hall of the State Captiol after a promo performance. He heard from the assistant director that I was upset. He wanted to talk and we did. I shared some of my feelings how this was just unexpected and I never heard of this happening before. He shared about his concerns with the Olivers not being able to pull through for the show, so he gave some other kids a shot. He also told me that there was a lot of “talk and emotions” in the whole decision process. I’m not sure what that was all about, but I think some of the parents were complaining because he used the word “petty.” He did say some of the parents were complaining because I sat in on the “closed” rehearsals, but I had permission to video tape the signing so we could practice at home. In fact, the director and assistant director said I was the only mom who video taped and he wished more would have done that. So, God worked through the situation and healed my heart very quickly. I’m still not totally free of some of the emotions that creep up unexpectedly, but I’m not upset like before.

It’s true what they say, often times God doesn’t deliver you from the trial, but takes you through it instead. Here’s another cliche that proved itself right in this circumstance. “Time heals all wounds.” I’d like to change that one a bit… With time, God heals all wounds!
