Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

I Have a Favor to Ask

Can you please pray for me and for my Hairspray cast?

I don't care what your beliefs are, I would still really appreciate it.

Here's the deal; I feel Satan trying to discourage me all of the time right now. I know it is because I am preparing for my mission and going through the temple in 2 days. He's not really tempting me, he's just trying to make me feel frustrated and inadequate. And unfortunately, it's working a little. With 2 jobs and the insane amount of stress Hairspray is causing, I just don't have the energy to battle these feelings.

As for my Hairspray cast, we've been through a lot of things we shouldn't have had to go through. You see, our director was causing a lot of problems and we were getting nothing accomplished and the show was just really crappy, despite the astounding amount of talent in our cast, and we were opening in a week. We were fighting and had lost our desire to make this show happen and no longer enjoyed rehearsal. Our director was fired on Friday, and it is amazing how relieved and close we all feel now.

Unfortunately, he left of lot of the show uncompleted, and some things he did do were, in my opinion, stupid. Now, in the last 3 days, we have redone a lot of the show and changed a lot of things. They are good changes, but now we only have 2 dress rehearsals to make sure we do all of the changes. It is very, very overwhelming.

I just need some help right now.
