auditioning for a role in the story.

So today if I could offer you one piece of advice as you lace up your dancing shoes, let it be this: Dance unashamed. Rise up and share that you are the beloved of God and that you are here to proclaim His name. Dont be quiet about it, and don't be timid. Praise his name with dancing. Give Him all the glory, and enjoy the performance - God will certainly enjoy it! As you dance, you will face hard times and tough sessions, but have fun. Let the music flow through you. Then, when you are ready, God will open the doors and lead you to the stage, where the world will be able to watch. What they see will amaze them, just as it amazed you as you caught your first glimpse of yourself dancing the Divine Dance.
-
The woman who dance only for God will be different. She will be unlike anything the world has ever seen. She will be bold and daring, gentle and caring - all at the same time! She will be you, but she will be more than you. She will be God in you - for the entire world to see. Enjoy the quiet time alone in the studio with God as you meditate on His word and memorize His steps.
-
Get ready to live the life that you were truly meant to live, because God has been waiting for this moment ever since He gave you feet. Let the world fade into the background and dance for God alone.

the divine dance.

So the other day I started a new devotion book, that I will admit had been sitting beside my bed for some time now! It's called "The Divine Dance" and it's definitely given me alot of things to already think about, just after reading the setting the stage part! It talked about if the world is our stage, who are we performing for? It talks about how I hold center stage in God's heart. And that he has seen me at my best and my worst. He knows my flaws, but still he wants me. He wants to love me, to hold me, and keep me close to his heart forever. He has seen all my costumes, and sat through every performance, but yet he still likes me best when im not performing at all. He likes me best at the end of the day, when the other audiences are gone and all my masks come off. Whether i'm smiling or crying. He loves me. And wants to give me the world. But all my concentration on my performances has kept me from seeing the answer to all my heart has ever wanted. God calls out to me, but sometimes I cannot hear him. Sometimes I'm missing the fulfillment of my dreams and plans, and the desires of my heart. Somewhere I've disregarded the invitation God sent, because I was invited to another party put on by this world. And the moment I fail to mesmerize them, I'm cast aside. Each of us is a dancer, we dance our way through life, performing for others. And by the time we reach teen years, or adulthood we've all become artists. It's the reason we dress the way we do. It's the reason some of us got up and put make up on this morning. And it's all to make a certain statement about ourselves. Once again were all performers, and we audition for a place in the hearts of everyone we meet. We all want to be beautiful to someone - anyone, really. And that can get us in trouble. Because the world is a place that will lie to us. It tells us what we want to hear to get what it wants from us. Yet we all have alot to offer. We all possess authencity, and thats a rythym the world can never dance to. At best, the world offers poor imitations of everything you've ever wanted. So why then, do we dance so hard on this stage? Why do we try so hard to please the crowd? We become unfifilled, because God did not want us to dance for the world. He intended us to dance for him. All we need to do is give up the world, and the riches of heaven will be ours. Today YOU and me can have the performance of a lifetime, and I hope you don`t pass it up. You can watch from the side but really it won`t do you any good. No matter your music, or your style, dance unto the Lord. Not only will you be changed, but you will also change others with your song.

it feels good already.

Yesterday was my first day of work! I was incredibly nervous before I got there. Once I met the two girls I was working with I realized I really didn't have anything to stress about. My supervisor is so nice! The residents are so nice! Working is fun! Didn't drop any dishes, or mess up orders! And the best part is.. it feels good to know that when I get my pay check, I'll have earned it. (:

summer 09'

Soo .. as sad as it is to say, school is now just around the corner. Grade 11! Kind of getting excited, I really miss everyone. But with this statement comes the fact that my summer holidays are slowly ending! It's sure been a summer filled with lots of memories! Laughs! Tears! And many other emotions! I left on July 13th, to go and spend 3 1/2 weeks at my aunt & uncles in Smithers, BC! My trip there was amazing. I always find it so fascinating how much a relationship can grow in such a short period of time! My cousins, they are spectacular! They each have such different personalities, but each make me smile every minute of the day. I miss the sleepovers, with some awesome girl talk! Going to the lake! Watching swimming lessons! Endless Starbucks trips! Late night movies with my auntie & uncle! Dancing to the music on my Ipod! Laughing with my auntie! And SO much more!

Auntie Darlene .. You are absolutely without a doubt amazing! I love you so much! My relationship with you has become something so important to me! Your not only my aunt, but my friend. Someone I trust so much! Someone who I can laugh with about anything and everything! A shoulder I can cry on! Spending time with you, and having endless conversations always opens my eyes to see negative situations more positively. You put a smile on my face in an instant. I love you so much! And miss you so much!

Back to the summer.. Close to the end of July, my mom came out to Smithers as well. We left (mom, auntie, cousins, and I) to head back to Winnipeg on August 3rd. Our first day we left around 5:45 am, and drove to Jasper to spend the night there. Our next day we headed out again bright and early to Saskatoon, stayed with uncle ricks parents! And our last day we headed to home to Winnipeg! I have never seen 3 little girls as excited as my cousins to be in Winnipeg! It was so great to have everyone stay with us!
-
While everyone was here we had a really great time! Went to the spa one day with my mom & auntie to get pedicures! It was a really relaxing day! Spent one afternoon mini golfing with auntie, and cousins. Just before the wedding, my dad's brothers family came into Winnipeg as well. Spent one afternoon swimming in the Comrie's pool! It was super fun. Also enjoyed time playing rock band with the boys, and just happened to whoop their butts! ;) aha!
-
In mid August it was sad to say goodbye to my baby! We had to put our dog Lady down shortly after I was back from my trip! You were defintely a the best puppy ever! I remember when I was little and used to wake up early on saturday mornings, and since mom & dad were sleeping would let you jump on on the couch and cuddle with me. I also remember laying on the floor and using you as my pillow. Or just endless times playing with you. I miss having you here. I miss you welcoming us home. I miss giving you your cookie. I miss having you at the lake with us. I miss you not being at my feet right now, wanting attention. You're always in my heart! And will never be replaced! Always my favourite!

On August 16th, my brother got married! It was a wonderful day. And I'm very excited for him and my SIL! I'll post pictures in a later blog. (:
-
After the wedding, all our family headed back home. It's been pretty queit since than. Went out to the cabin this past weekend. It was nice to just relax. Caught up on alot of sleep too! Monday we left and went to Grand Forks. Came home today! It was nice to get away one last time!
As for the next week and a half.. I start my job tomorrow. Looking forward to it, but am also incredibly nervous! Gonna spend time with friends! Than before I know it.. it'll be time for school & dance!

Overall I'll say summer has been great!

leaving tomorrow =DD

i'm employed!

yesterday while on our way to a friend of mom's for lunch
I got a phone call .. asking if I could come in later that afternoon for an interview.
so we turned around the van and headed back home.
in got all dressed and ready, and was incredibly INCREDIBLY nervous.
well when I got there I met Jeff, the Manager and owner of Devonshire House.
It's an Assisted Living Building, opening in Late August.
He told me about the plans for their Kitchen, and dining room.
Instead of just having one specific thing the residents can eat for dinner,
they receive a menu, like a restaurant, and so .. they need servers.
well the interview went on, and he seemed very impressed with my wide range in volunteer experience ..
and eventually said "Well, I'd like to offer you the Job!" WOOOOOOOOOO!
It starts at $9.25 and hour, and is everyday after school!
I'd been praying that this job would work out! Because it works with my dance schedule.
So it's official, i'm employed.
I start working the day after my brothers wedding! So this makes for an even busier summer!
Can't wait till the first day! (:
