"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, directed by Bemo Meyers, I give you....The New Generation Singers!" I remember sitting in a different church pew every Sunday morning as my mother and I followed my sister to her many different sing-outs with the New Generation singers. I would "Oooo" and "Ahhh" at all the same places, and would never lose the sense of wonder and amazement that I felt as a watched them sing their hearts out to God. As the summer went on, I learned all the songs and would sing along from the audience. I had all the entire sermon in song memorized, as well as the informal. I felt so much envy- my older sister, Carrie, always got to do things before me. I was still two years too young to join, and it drove me nuts! Then, when my sister went with New G to tour Florida, the real jealousy kicked in. My little light so badly wanted to shine with them ( and who doesn't love Disney World?)! But I waited, went to all the concerts, sing-outs, and homecomings, until my day finally came. I remember how nervous I was- a little eighth grader mixed in with all high schoolers and college students. Everybody was really nice to me, and genuinely wanted me there (except maybe Carrie, but it's a sister thing.) I promised not to embarrass Carrie, and have brought some of my other friends into the group. I am now a current member of New Generation Singers, and have the chance to let my little light shine all across the country.
