I went to EFY for a second time this summer. And (believe it or not) out came another great, spiritual experience.
It started with me not even being sure whether I wanted to go again or not, but then I felt like I should go... so I did.
And then I really wanted to either get a solo in the musical program or make the variety show. So I prayed that I would get one or the other. And I had a feeling that I would. So it just so happened that I was quite disappointed when I didn't. :(
But then my counselor came to me and said that they were looking for someone to sing the musical number at the last fireside of EFY. It would be a duet of the song "Never Be the Same." And I agreed to it.
An answer to my prayer? I think yes. It may not have been a variety show number, or a musical program solo, but it was even better. In fact, I had always thought, "Man, I wish participants were able to sing the EFY musical numbers." And I was able to. It was fantastic.
And (not to be unhumble) we did an amazing job on the song.
So, in case I didn't feel like this incredible answer to my prayers was enough, after I sang, the girl I was sitting next to turned to me with tears in her eyes and said, "You will never know how much that changed my life." I began to cry after that. I have changed someone's life. Through music. And in so doing, I changed MY life.
It really is a gorgeous song. And I am going to share it with you now. (The original, not the one I sang.)
