Heart of Arts is my favorite event of the year. It's always so much fun, and it's truly humbling to remember how much love and support Royal Stage genuinely has. It has been a crazy year. We've had growth, we've been interviewed by magazines, newspapers, TV shows, etc. for the first time and it's been difficult to live in the moment when you want your moments to become bigger and better all the time. That's why i LOVE Heart of Arts night - it gets back to basics, reminds me why we do this - reminds me of our awesome God.
Way too tired to put these in any sort of chronological order, but THANK YOU Krista and Jess for taking them!
Introducing the show - my least favorite role as director!
Brandi made the coolest centerpieces - gold painted branches with feathers and flowers....just so pretty!
It was fun to get a little stage time in. It's been awhile.
I'm on a lace kick right now - thank you Pinterest.
"I Dreamed a Dream." I told Lisa it would be more impactful if she cut off her hair and pulled a tooth out onstage.....but fortunately the song was gorgeous without the "full Fantine" ;)
My sweet boy with sweet Krista
Little Audrey. Her oldest sister went through our ministry and is so beautiful and grown up now. I see so much of Johanna in Audrey!
Good job talking into the mic, Sam :)
Charlotte with her nana <3 br="">
Worship the Lord like little children....
Someday the stage will be hers <3 nbsp="" p="">
So thankful for the incredible crowd we had!
Cute little freak!
I just loved the diversity of the night. It felt as if my whole life were in a single room. Frank's family came, including his darling aunt and uncle from Lodi. One of my favorite pastor's wives was there....and speaking of church....our new church filled two tables with people! It was such an honor to have them come out and support. Someone told me they were always the first to clap and cheer - we are so blessed to have this new family of godly men and women in our lives. I'm so excited for the future!
So then there was the boyfriend of a good college friend who submitted for the art gallery, two other close college friends that were in the audience, my very best friend who drove up from Santa Clara just to see the show and go back home again (!), tons of RS "alumni" serving, supporting, etc. Incredible dance moms picking up all the little things I forgot throughout the day.....such a gorgeous fusion of people.
You are so good to us, Lord.
Oh and P.S.....tonight I spotted our billboard! Clear Channel rocks my socks for giving us such an awesome sponsorship!
