Start Spreading The News, I'm Leavin' Today..

These past two weeks have been some of the most stressful of the semester ahh! Finally getting to sit down.
This time last week I ended my dancing career.We had our spring show for Strutters and that was our last performance as a team for the year, and possibly my last performance ever. I've been dancing for as long as I can remember and the fact that it's not going to play such a big role in my life anymore is really weird, but exciting. God has other things planned for me that I'm ecstatic to get to experience. Young Life is going to be a time commitment of its own and that seems to be where the Lord has led me for the time being.
Speaking of Young Life..

Some of my YL team members and other friends I've made through Young Life came to support me at my last show. These guys could have spent their weekend doing anything else, but they came [and PAID] to watch me dance. I dance for them for free on Monday nights when I act like a spaz at YL club. // Things like THAT are what validates that me choosing to go after leadership with them is what I'm supposed to be doing right now. Some of the sweetest and self-less people I've met.





Among my other self-less friends is these two
 They don't even go to my school but they drove in to come cheer me on. I don't do anything to deserve all the freaking incredible friends that I have. They fill me with so much joy by encouraging me and going out of their way to make me feel special.

Didn't get pictures with everyone that came that night, but I'm grateful for all who came and supported me and knew how big this was. Words won't do justice what I feel in my heart towards all of my sweet family and friends. Your actions speak volumes to me and I love you!


 Thank You Lord for dance and what an outlet of worship it has been/ will be for me. Thank You for all of the unneeded success and opportunities that I've been blessed with because of dance -- none of them by my doing, but Yours. Texas Ladybugs, Kids choir/ Club 56 hip hop, Puresound hip hop, Gaelen pep squad, Grenadier drill team, Lancer Dancers varsity dance team, all of the Community Bible Church services in between and THE Texas State University Strutters.. You've been with me through it all. I hope I blessed You with the allotted time You gave me to have dance as my focus. Minus a few more meetings and our Strutter formal, this chapter is coming to a close and I'm starting a new one. I'll never stop considering myself a dancer, if something happens and I'm supposed to dance here and there, it happens. My sole focus just needs to be elsewhere. That being said, I'm going to miss all of the time I spend with the sweet girls I made on the team this year a lot, but I can't wait to dance into this new season with these peeps.
Thank You, Jesus.
