Angels given to me at various positions

Each time I sing at a different position for Mass, I am given angels to motivate me to sing to the best of my potential. Sometimes too, in the process of thanking them, I am used by God to affirm them. :) I know however, that it is the decision of my conductor that aids in this privilege.

Last evening's position was one of the best because it was really convenient for me to go to my seat and then to my position. I did not need to exert myself so much in comparison. :) It also provided an alcove for me to be alone with my thoughts and apart. :D I am aware that it is a temporary position for me but I am thankful for the chance to have stood at it.

A true sacrifice of praise

I have always been told to carry out the "sacrifice of praise" at mass as a choir member. I was given the opportunity to fully do it for these past two weekends. :)

I had a throat infection last week but still had to sing my best for mass since I am usually right in front of the microphone. I was asked to sing more when I tried to hold back while singing, as a reaction to my infection. It truly was a sacrifice.

It was the same yesterday. I had a really bad headache but still gave my best in singing for mass. I had to make up for my absence at choir practice, I felt. It was a little easier yesterday though. My section leader was deployed to sing with me and I had a greater motivation to sing because of her presence. :) It brought out my usual singing techniques :)
