Singing she did earlier but its amazing that she signs up for things and does things on her own.She came home to have me sign the slip and set up her own audition and then picked out her own music.Daily she practices so I don't have to worry.Last year she entered the talent show at Junior Camp in La.
She has such a good attitude.She called me to say,"Mom I did not win but it was so fun and all the sisters said I did well." God gifts children so amazingly.

That is awesome.
That is a wonderful way to let her light shine.
My girls have been singing in talent contests at public school for about 5 years now. They always sing praise and worship songs and I have never had any one question what they sing. Of course I would be the first to fight it out with principal... if I have to listen to rock bands... they can sit through Christian music.
Just last week my daughter gave a speech in high school.. it was a demonstration speech. It was on music/harmony. I took my other daughter out of middle school and she helped her sister with her speech. They sang several praise/worship songs... one being "Falling in Love with Jesus". The speech was very well received by everyone and she got a good grade... for which I am glad since she waits till the last min to do everything.
We've never had anyone question Christian music or lyrics.. but I am from midwest.
