New Year

There's something about a New Year.  New agendas, new clothes, new schedules (maybe.) New Year's resolutions.

I don't know about you, but every year I set ambitious goals for myself that never end up working.   It's all very easy when you've got weeks stretching before you to set a goal or two, but the reality is, it's much harder once you’re up to your eyeballs in work and life.

So, instead of making a bunch of goals that I probably won't be able to keep, I have set three “simple”  ones that I hope and pray I can stick to – even when my crazy schedule returns to it's full tilt craziness.

  1. I am going to blog every Saturday. I am told consistency is a good thing, especially if publication is your goal; which for me it is. So, here's what you can expect going forward. I'll be keeping my theme as “God as The Choreographer of life” for my blog; so will be posting things He's teaching me and showing me.  On the last Saturday of each month, I'll do a fun post, sharing my activities, adventures, and antics from the month.  

  1. I don't know about you, but I have a really hard time staying focused on anything in a messy space. My goal this year is to keep my areas organized. However, I'm not just talking about my physical spaces and rooms, I'm talking about my life too. I feel I need to organize my days so I have time for the people and things that are important to me.

  1. The last thing that is in my heart this year is the "one word " from God. My word for 2018 is boldness. I feel the Lord has shown me yet again, that I'm too passive. I need to speak up more, I need to shine more.

Until next time 

Happy New Year

A solo adventure part 3

Image
My solo at the beginning of Flesh and Spokes Show time!!!!  Our call to the theater on Saturday was for 3:00.We made this call in plenty of time and were able to relax a bit before I was needed. After my rehearsal and notes it was snack time followed by make up and costumes. At rehearsal the previous day, it hadn't taken me long to adapt to the stage, but the wings were a problem for me. Every theater has different wings but in all the eight years I've been dancing professionally I have never seen wings like these. They were shallow and wide. The booms for the lights were in each wing making it cramped and scary (each boom held 2 or 3 lights and each light got very, very hot. Not to mention the lights are very expensive.) The set up was such that turning around in the  wing and remaining hidden would be impossible. This meant that for each of my 3 exits, I would have to go off backwards. One of the things we're taught as a dancer is to never look over your shoulder ...

Challenge that produses trust

For the last many months, I  have been mourning the loss of my PSW (personal support worker.) When someone works closely with you day after day, it is hard not to become friends. We share stories and life.   O ver the year she was caring for me I grew to trust her . But here's the thing, she was one of many workers over the last four years who has left after a short period of time. And like with the others, I asked God a very simple question "Why?"  why just as trust and friendship develops, do they leave to go on to other jobs, studies or careers? Through this and many other losses, God is teaching me that change is good, and to trust Him in it all.  Does it still hurt? Of course it does. Do I miss her? Absolutely. But I am slowly learning to see everything God choreographs into my life as good. It doesn't always feel that way. Sometimes I wish He would allow one or two workers to stay for a few years.  But it seems that God likes to choreograph c...

Fact or fantasy - 6 days or 6 billion years

It's amazing to me that out of all books of the Bible, Genesis is the one book that is quite often attacked. I talked about the flood and how the Ark was built. Now I'd like to tackle the biggest and possibly most controversial issue of all time...the issue of Creation. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.   Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.  God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day..."  Genesis 1:1 - 5 You probably know the rest, the chapter goes on to describe the 6 days of creation.  Now, the issue here is that this Scripture has been twisted and added onto by man. The Bible warns us in Proverbs e...
