Stuff about me. In case you care, which I highly doubt.

So on Facebook I was tagged in a note a friend of mine wrote. In being tagged, I was supposed to write 18 random facts/things about myself. I just thought I'd post it on here.

1)I seem random but it's not. I go through it all in my head. If I'm in the middle of talking and I say something completly out of context, I've already had a conversation in my head leading to it.

2)I love battle scars but not on my face.

3)My wall is covered in pics of my friends, but I'm thinking about changing it to Bible verses.

4)Narnia is real. Read The Magicians Nephew, it all makes sense.

5)In between the ages of 1 and 4, I insisted on dressing myself. I always wore a dress. All my outfits matched perfectly^_^

6)I look at things in the strangest way. Well that's what everyone tells me, it all seems normal to me.

7)My favorite drinks are Juice Squeeze(Passion Fruit and Mango), Passion Fruit Italian Sodas, any mocha, Frappachinos(mocha of course), and chocolate milk.

8)I'm lactose intolerant.(^_^couldn't resist the irony)

9)Ever since recently the thought or sight of needles makes me light headed.

10)I have almost impossible standards for myself.

11)I used to cry when we missed church. It still bugs me a lot and sometimes I do cry but I've learned to deal with it.

12)Modern is my most favorite dance class ever.

13)I love being barefoot. Leads to trouble but I don't care.

14)There is no feeling like when all the hard work pays off. Thats what happens on stage^_^

15)I don't like fighting, argueing, or any kind of anger.

16)Music is my shell. Secular music makes me feel like I'm pushing God out of my shell though.

17)I feel closest to God when I dance.

18)I like hard work. It's molds a person. A lot of sweat and tears have made me who I am today. I thank God for those sweat and tears.

Let God be the choreographer

I'm feeling great! I got back on track with God, Narnia is this week(aaah!), and school ends this week. It's all good so far!

I wanted to share an experience I've had within the past couple days...

A few day ago I was sitting by the computer, looking at some mail that came in. One of them was a letter from a missionary in South America, giving us an update of whats been going on. I only read the first paragraph because the rest was too long. She talked about how something she continued to learn each day is when she asked God to guide her feet, He did. A lot of times it was in ways she didn't like but she still did it. I got to thinking about God guiding our feet and how that correlated with me as a dancer. It made sense to me, since I look at my actions as a dance, I figured God should guide me; thus creating the perfect dance. During a combination at ballet class the next day, I thought I'd try it. It was an amazing experience. My placement felt the best I've ever done and my teacher complimented me. Later that night, I told God to really guide my feet and I would do what He told me to do. The next day I got to know a kid at my school a little better. We chatted about God a little and I realized that he was in need of God's love. It dawned on me (with some help from a friend) that God had guided my feet to this kid. I was there to show him God's love. We have a pretty sweet relationship now. It's been amazing from the beginning, though I was scared at first, God has helped me past that and is now helping me reach one of His children. As I said, it is scary but I urge you to try it. Just ask God to guide your feet and then go with it.
