This blog post is basically a shameless plug. I was feeling really down yesterday - battling things I wish I didn't have to - and whenever I feel that way I do one of two things:
1) Descend into a hopeless spiral of self-pity and destruction
2) Realize that part of my struggle is very simply resolved by reaching out and helping someone else
In 2014, I'm blessed with a ton of opportunities to help others. Of course, there are my usual duties as director of Royal Stage, and God has tremendously gifted us with just the sweetest of times with each other as a ministry. He is doing a powerful work through our leaders and it is so humbling to see.
Outside of RS, I present to you the following list of exciting endeavors:
1. January service fair through our winter stage production, benefiting women & children
2. Missions trip to India in April
3. Missions trip to Ghana in June (Sam is going with me!!!) :)
All together, I need to raise over $6000 by June. There are ways you can help if you love Royal Stage, can't go on a missions trip personally but would like to support one....or if you've ever just wanted to send Sam to another country, as we often do ;)
Buy My Book
The cover art is done. It is pretty! It's going through final editing and will be available December 1st! Lifelong dream realized :) More info soon.
Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
I decided I was serious about my Ugly Cupcake bakery idea. You can order some seriously yummy treats here.
Get Some New Clothes
My amazing friend Ashley gave me permission to steal the clothes swap idea we did at church. So fun, and everyone gets great new stuff and rid of some of their old things! Let me know if you want to come to our swap on Nov 23 at 4pm at the dance studio and I will send you the FB invite.
Come See a Royal Stage Show or Donate!
Come see Sam perform in "Annie" next weekend
Come see both of us perform in Project365 in January
Make a donation in lieu of purchasing tickets
So there you have it - get some sweets, read a new book, change up your look or take in some live theater. Can't go wrong with any of that!
