Be yourself!!! Don't try to fit into someone else's mold, you won't fit!!! And that just leads to utter misery!!! Live life to it's fullest in Christ's love every day!!!
Help Clint do well with his performances. Bless him with the courage to work before all those that watch. Use these acts as a means to give joy to those who view them. Make Clint an "angel of happiness". For in Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
My stress symptoms are getting worse and more numerous. It's the combination of great reviews, tiny crowds, and big bills. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow.
I'm sorry you are so stressed, Clint. You need to take care of yourself! Try to relax and enjoy the shows this weekend. Don't fret about small crowds and all. My favorite saying is "we are where we are". You can't change what is - but you can choose how you react to circumstances around you.
I'm praying!

As assumed, the doctor diagnosed the symptoms as stress. I have antihistamine to help with the hives and the anxiety. The heart palpitations and impotence should clear up on their own. I have two more legs to break this weekend.
Clint you will be in prayers this weekend for successful shows. Sometimes it takes word of mouth to promote your shows.... so I hope that the positive feed back you got from the smaller groups will give you a good turn-out this weekend.
I know it is hard not to stress, but put it in God's hands... he will use you for his good will and he will provide for your every need.
