Hello friends c",)
I am very excited for this coming Oct. 18, 2008. I joined a concert for the benefit of the church at a particular area here in our place. I was invited last month and we started to practice the songs which will be performed.
I'm quite nervous but i know God will be our guide. One accompanist (pianist) said that my voice is really for the Lord c",)... Praise God! How i love to sing for you Lord!
How about you friends, will you be willing to share your talent for a good cause? if yes, have you had experience on this? Do share pls...

hi mycharm!!
that's great! i didn't know you were a singer! do you sing for your church choir? when i was in grade school i used to sing for the church choir too. but i discovered i didn't have a good voice so i quit. i now only sing inside bathrooms, and when already drunk in videoke and karaoke bars. anyway, if i were in your shoes, i'd probably use my voice too to sing for free for a good cause. a talent is best appreciated when properly used. so its a good thing that you joined that concert. good luck with your performance mycharm!

i'm sure you can do it. its okay to be nervous. but if you're already singing, you'll feel the mood and your nervousness will go away. good luck again!

I would not subject my church or anyone else to my voice! God didn't bless me with a beautiful voice so I don't ruin songs with it!

Oh yes, I like to sing. My voice just sounds like someone stepped on a cat's tail! I'll sing in private in my house or my car. I enjoy it a lot.

Hello mycharm. So nice that you could have such a wonderful chance to make some contribution to a cause of singing voluntarily. Yeah, if I could get such a similar chance, I would also contribute my talent to a cause like you do. Enjoy yourself, mycharm girl.

I sang for a competition one time and won. Mostly free swimming for a day. I would sing for a cause, but I'm very much out of practice and my voice is starting to sound old.
Good for you, sing that song and help the church. Good luck, you must be nervous. Take care

Yes, of course! It's a great feeling that you're going to show everyone the talent that God has given you, and your sharing with a great cause, it really compensates, and you will have of feeling of happiness in your heart.
If I am going to sing for the Lord and his flock, I'm surely will give my best shot, others may not appreciate, but i'm confident that He will give the most remarkable remark.

Indeed, I will definitely sing voluntarily for a good cause, specially if it is similar to what you mentioned.
Unfortunately, I was never invited to join a group to render songs in a benefit concerned just like you did. More than a month has already passed from the date you mentioned, I guess you did pretty well during the event and I do hope it turned out to be a huge success.
Anyway, the farthest I've gone about singing is having to sing in front of my co-employees twice for two separate companies; because there is an unwritten rule here in my present employer and my previous one wherein new employees are expected to sing, dance, or show any talent. It serves like an initiation for the new hirees and this happens usually during the Christmas party celebration for the year.
Keep up the good work, friend, and happy holidays.

if i have a gift like yours, i will definitely sing for a cause. its my way of giving thanks to the Lord for having such great gift. since i dont have it, i'll just sing in my dreams...huh? Go for it girl. God will bless in any form...more than you expected.

I'm so gladly to sing for a cause or be part of charity for the cause. I like helping people. If I have an opportunity to perform or be a part of it, I will voluntarily join myself. But so far, I haven't but being a nurse I'm kinda helping sick patients to be wel and support them. And whenever they are discharged from hospital, They thank us for being kind and help them to recover. It's so melt my heart and makes us happy that we help even in some ways.
Keep it up mycharm!!!
High five!!!
