Sore but Satisfied

So I finished up the Worship dance workshops, and they actually went pretty well. All the girls seemed to like it a lot, and really got a lot out of the new style of dance, so that made me happy. As for now, I am ubber sore and unmotivated, but now its time to go off to babysit! Oh the life of juggling four different jobs. Oh well, I won't regret it when I graduate! :)

-PS- I can't wait until I graduate. Blog for another day? I think so.

Next Proj

Here is my summer project. To organize all this stuff that was in my old room. It's now causing clutter. To you, this may no look like a lot, but to me, it stresses me out.

Worship Dance?

So I'm teaching Worship Dance Workshops this weekend, and I feel completely out of my element. Somehow Kathy thought I was eligible for this position and asked me if I could fill in, and of course I complied. Then I thought to myself, the opportunity wouldn't have arisen if God didn't feel I was adequate to help young dancers figure out how to worship him through dance

I'm choosing to trust God with this one and going for the gold.

Guilt for Nothing

I often feel really bad when I intentionally planned to go home after working/babyistting/etc. and while working/babysitting/etc. someone asks me to hang out later and I reply with a big fat "No."

I'm pretty much always up for hanging, but it seems like whenever someone asks me to hangout on the fly, its always the time that I was originally planning to just go home and get some rest before my next activity. You see, in this situation I don't actually have a legitimate excuse other than the lame, I was just planning on going home after I finish up here...

I keep telling myself I shouldn't feel bad. I mean, I need my alone time, right? I guess I just worry that people might think that all I ever do is work, have "alone time" or hang out with John. Well, if you are reading this and you happen to have that misconception, it's not true, I promise!

Help!

Choir Tour '10 Suckaaas!

I have recently returned from a rambunctious, radical trip down to Florida with a few stops on the way with 80 kids and 20 other friends. (Like the alliteration?) At the stops, we shared the Gospel of Christ and God's redeeming love through song, dance, and drama. Sound inspiring? It was.

I can't say I learned anything profound or walked away a new person, but I did learn how to build relationships with kids. Being forced to be around 80 or so kids for 6 days straight may sound like torture to you, but I got to know tons of them I had hardly even spoken to before. Although I see them a few times a week, I love going on these trips because they are crucial times of impact. I really learned how fragile kids are. It dawned on me exactly how teenagers get picked on and bullied by other kids. It's a pretty sad ordeal.

This is when I also realized how important it is for us leaders to let God use us a tools to get into these kids lives. It's amazing the impact we may be able to make, whether it's simply playing a silly game with them, including them in something, or actually having one-on-one conversations with them. As difficult as it is sometimes, its extremely important to emulate Christ for these kids. That's really all they need- someone who loves, who forgives, who cares, and who points them in the direction of our Father.

Vewy Sweepy

I'm vewy sweepy all the time. I hate being a bummer, but I think I was created to just sleep all day... but why is it I can't sleep in, like, ever? Very peculiar, I must say...

Like a mug

I just cleaned like a mug and I am satisfied, but now sleepy. I was thinking about working on my Scrapbook that I started last summer, but I think I'm going to take a small nap. Yes, its like 90 degrees with pure sun outside, but I've been on the go for the past week, so I will rest. Goodbye world!
