Liesl was supposed to sing in Sacrament Meeting today. She was asked in the middle of the week, but as of 11:00 last night, she still didn't have a plan. She didn't know what song she was going to sing, and she didn't have anyone to play the piano for her. I could have stepped in at anytime during the last week, but I decided she's a big girl now, and she could take care of it, since she was the one who had been asked, and she was the one who had agreed to sing the song.
So this morning she got on the phone and found someone to play the piano for her, and got her "boy-friend-who's-not-her-boyfriend" (we'll call him Rolf) to sing with her. They went to the church half an hour before church to run through it a couple of times, and they were ready to go.
The awesome part was when the youth speaker stood up to give her talk. Her talk was on families, and she used the words from Love Is Spoken Here, which is the song that Liesl and Rolf were going to sing! The girl read all the words and talked about the song and the importance of families.
There was a couple of adult speakers, and then Liesl and Rolf got up to sing. Liesl is on crutches because she fell and sprained her ankle at soccer practice, but she made it up the stairs without falling. I was very glad. They sang their song, and it sounded awesome! They really did a good job for the amount of preparation that went into it. Liesl made it back down the stairs again without any mishap, and safely back to her seat.
If you would have asked me last night about Liesl's musical number for church today, I would have expressed my doubts about the whole thing. But the Lord's hand was in it, not only in the performance, but in the selection of the song. I'm sure he must have helped her with those stairs, too.
