This Christmas, my sisters, my mom, and I sang O Holy Night for a Christmas Eve service. This is one of the run-throughs during practice and is fairly decent.
During the candle-light service, we completely missed the key change. We stopped the song, refound ourselves with the piano and then finished singing...not quite the ideal performance. It was frustrating to spend several hours practicing just to mess-up in front of the live audience. However, Jesus did not come save a perfect world. He was not born to come along and say, "Good job! Keep up the good work!" [Insert thumbs-up]. Being reminded that I am not perfect, even when it is a small thing like missing a key change, helps me keep my mind on the big picture.
