Audition

I have auditions for Joffery Ballets summer intensive tomorrow! I’m super nervous. I have never auditioned for a big name ballet company before, and I really want to be good enough.
It’s a 4 and a half hour drive to the nearest city where they are auditioning so I have to get up at 5 in the morning to get their in time. I hope I am not to tired when I get there, but I’m sure I will be so nervous and full of adrenaline that I will make it through.

Wish me Luck! I’m going to need it!

Don’t Waste Your Life

John Piper says in his book “Don’t waste you life”
“You man not be sure that you want your life to make a difference. Maybe you don’t care very much whether you make a lasting difference for the sake of something great. You just want people to like you. If people would just like being around you, you’d be satisfied. Or if you could just have a good job with a good wife, or husband, and a couple of good kids and a nice car and long weekends and a few good friends, a fun retirement, and a quick and easy death, and no hell- if you could have all that (even without God)- you would be satisfied. That is a tragedy in the making. A wasted life.”




I got to a small group Bible study on Sunday nights for the Seniors in my youth group. We have been studying out of John Piper’s book “don’t waste you life” and it has been a really great study.

In the quote above we are given the American dream. That is what everyone pictures as the perfect life, even if they have no God. Tonight I realized the tragedy of that, I realized that was how I felt. That I just wanted to be accepted by the world and I didn’t really care about making a lasting difference for God. I realize now that every thing that I do should be bringing God glory somehow. The title of this blog is Dancing to Bring God Glory… but lately I have not been doing that. I have been dancing for me and to earn praise for myself. I’m sad that I wasted so much dance and life on someone as disappointing as myself. From this day forward I aim to bring God glory in everything I do. I am recommitting myself to Dancing for the Lord!

Abortion

Dear Friend,

I'm writing to let you know about a terrible piece of legislation called "The Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA).

FOCA would establish the right to abortion as a fundamental right (like the right to free speech) and wipe away every restriction on abortion nationwide.

It will eradicate state and federal abortion laws that the majority of Americans support and prevent states from enacting similar protective measures in the future.

Please read the expert analysis by Americans United for Life (AUL) and sign the Fight FOCA petition at:

Thank you!

A Poem

All right I’m trying my hand at this poem thing. Judi you inspired me to try writing and a guy (whose name shall not be mentioned) inspired these words.


He makes you angry
And you don’t know what to say
All he does it hurt you
In every single way

He flatters you with pretty words
And showers you with praise
Then he goes and leaves you
And talks to her all day

You can’t help but like him
Even though you know its wrong
Why is it so extremely hard
To let go and move on

Photo of the week!

Abortion

“Q: Do you personally believe that life begins at conception?
A: This is something that I have not come to a firm resolution on. I think it's very hard to know what that means, when life begins. Is it when a cell separates? Is it when the soul stirs? So I don't presume to know the answer to that question. What I know is that there is something extraordinarily powerful about potential life and that that has a moral weight to it that we take into consideration when we're having these debates.”
Obama

This video clearly shows the answer to this question. Do not try to tell me that what you just saw can not be considered a person or alive.

I am going to state the fact of the matter clearly in one point:
If you are not prepared to have a child, then do not have sex. You can not be fully prepared to have a child unless you are married because a child needs both parents (though I understand that God has a different plan for some people). Thus simple logic would be that you should not have sex until you are married.
Don’t be selfish and give in to you own desires, there could be another being depending on you.

Alina Cojocaru

On my other blog (www.reallifeofadancer.blogspot.com) I recently wrote about how Alina Cojocaru is my inspiration. I thought I would share a video of her that I found on youtube. She is portraying Giselle, a young women who fell in love with a prince but could not be with him because she was low class. She kills herself and becomes a ghost.

In this video the Prince sees her ghost and they dance a beautiful Pas De Deux. Even when portraying death, Alina is stunning and believable!
