Pictures from the Living Christmas Tree





You probably can't see me in the picture where I'm wearing black. That is the dance that nearly killed me, but I made it through all 7 shows!

I Did It!!

The Living Christmas Tree has now come to an end at my church and I made it all the way through all seven performances without, falling, freaking out, or dying. :-) My main goal was to see if I could get back out on stage without being on anxiety medicine and my second goal was to be able to hopefully plant a little seed in one persons life. I think that I accomplished both those goals. Every time I would be in the aisle I prayed before hand that God would put someone in front of me that I could reach out to just a little bit. I was a little bummed at first because I kept seeing people in front of me that I knew and that knew to be Christians, but I think that there were a few who weren't and for that I am grateful.
A side not that is sort of hilarious to me, but a former student and his family were sitting in front of me when I was dancing in the aisle and he told me afterward that his dad asked him if he wanted to get my number so he could hook us up. I thought that was pretty funny!
Overall I think that my time in the Living Christmas Tree was one I will not soon forget, but probably not one I will repeat next year... I'm exhausted!
I'll try posting some pictures soon!

Tonight's the Night...

I will once again be on stage performing. I have not performed on a stage in over three years now so I am extremely nervous! Tonight I will be performing and singing (kind of) in my churches Christmas production, The Living Christmas Tree. I know the words, the moves and all the cues, yet I'm more nervous for this tonight than I have ever been for any other production I have ever been in. I think if I decide to do any community theater after this I will not be auditioning for any musicals in the near future. I forgot how hard it is to sing, dance and smile. If anyone does read my blog, please pray that I will remember everything I'm supposed to tonight and that I don't fall, faint or freak out! My main goal tonight is to do this all for God and to show people how amazing He is, the true meaning of Christmas and how Christians can have fun at church and even dance :-)
