Apple Hill
I am so behind on pictures and updates. We went to Apple Hill a few Saturdays back with Connie, Elisa, and miscellaneous children and husbands :) I was so looking forward to this trip, but I was nauseous all day and was pretty darn miserable! That was a bummer, but what was fun was seeing how Sam has really changed since we went last year, and he had a great time. I had some fun moments too :)

Their Love is Fierce
I've written time and again about how this summer was so filled with uncertainty. But through it all - happiness, anticipation, anger, sadness, grief - I made a commitment to myself and to my Jesus that, no matter what, I would take a jump (no matter how scary), and trust Him 100% to know what is best for my life. And to do my very best to ACT like Him whenever possible, and even when all things raining down tempted me to do otherwise. I was THROUGH steering the car.
The results? Autumn has brought me what feels like a shiny, brand new life. It's been incredible. Almost everything is a new adventure.
I don't want to bore you by going on and on about it every time I blog, but I just want to jot down some praise for just how amazing Royal Stage is. This has been a dream of mine forever - I have thought about it for years - and now that God has formed it in His timing, which was WAY faster than I expected, I feel like I am on this crazy, exhilarating ride, and it's been incredible.
We have passionate dancers and actors. It's actually sort of insane how fierce their love is. Love for God, love for each other, love for learning. Some have asked for private lessons to catch up to their peers, some are constantly asking for ministry opportunities, some are learning choreography TWO DAYS BEFORE A TOURING PERFORMANCE so they can throw themselves into God's art. It's been such a blessing.
It reminds me of my college days - where everyone in dance ministry was so crazy dedicated and desired God so fully - it's that experience all over again, but with a way more diverse group. So fun!
We have two shows this year - we had to split it into two groups to accommodate everyone who wanted to join - one is in Feb, and one is in May. We're going to offer "season tickets" in a couple of months - I really hope you can attend. The choreographers are remarkable, and our Jesus is center stage.
And remember, if you become a financial supporter of the ministry (only $10 a month), your tickets are always free. :)
Here are some really crappy photos of the awesomeness. One of our dancers, the fabulous Nicole Waldschmidt, is going to do a genuine photoshoot early next year - but until then, this will suffice :) Click to make them bigger.
Beginning hip hop - need to get a pic of the advanced ones!
Lyrical A pow wow
