Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." That has been sinking in. It's been often recently (even in the last week) that I've had to continually remind myself of that verse. So far, this has been one of the most disapointing weeks for me since I've been here at the training program. While I was nannying over the weekend, I fell down wooden stairs and have a contorsion (internal bruise) on my right knee/calf/shin area and sprained my right wrist. I spent all day in the ER on Tues. and thankfully that is all that I did. Some thought my leg was a lot worse. I spent all day Sun. and Mon. thinking I was out of dancing for at least a month, and for obvious reasons, that would defeat the purpose of why I'm here in N.C.--I am here to dance! We are performing in church for the first time this Sun. and praise the Lord, the Dr. said I should be good to go by then.

I think the Lord was just trying to get my attention. I've gotten so caught up in the reutine of things here I was forgetting to truly be thankful for this gift of dance that the Lord has given me. Last night I had my first choroegraphing creative outburst and couldn't get to sleep until 3am. It was the first time in months and the moves were just flowing through me. It felt soooo good. I did an entire 5 min. song almost all in my head within 2 hours.... that could only have come from the Lord! It was was like He knew I just needed to be reminded that it's not about me, it's not about my choreography, or my body and what I can do with it. It's about how He created me with this gift and passion for dancing to use for His glory and nothing else! "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength!"
