Another chance to trust-College Auditions!

So we arrived in NY at 6:30 pm January 29th 2013-EXCITED! We had a driver meet us at JFK and he took us to our hotel-The NewYorker on 34 and 8th. We decided to stay there because of it's close proximity to the studios that most of Jessie's auditions will be at-Ripley Grier and Pearl studios. The Hotel is nice and of course the room is small but we settle in and we get the call.....you see Jessie's audition for her High School musical was Monday and she had a call back today right before we boarded our plane for NYC. One of the hardest things is hearing you didn't get the part. So the night before she was to start one of the biggest weeks of her life, her College auditions, she hears she did not get the part. She's in the show but the part she wanted, she didn't receive. Yes, there were tears at first.....tears, frustration and some anger, anger at herself you see she didn't prepare well for this audition. One day was all she had because of other commitments to dance and choreographing for a dance concert she was in this last weekend. She had also chosen to work solely on her college audition pieces for the last 3 months. A choice I feel she will never regret except in this brief moment. One day to prepare,monologue -check easy for Jess, the singing piece she wasn't familiar-no check there. I hate seeing my daughter disappointed and a blow like that could have sent her into a tailspin but not my Jess she is a worker and determined and she has this undeniable spirit that will not be dampened or extinguished. I feel these disappointments in life for her have been catalysts to greatness....At one point after hearing the news and letting it process she says-in her funny way "well I chose correctly straight acting not musical theater!  I know God has his reasons for me not getting that part it's OK he's got a better plan." And so again I learn from my daughter .....live with an open hand and believe. Isaiah 66:9 "I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born" says The Lord!
