Talent & Aspirations

This weekend, I had the privilege to attend the North Carolinians for Home Education Conference in Winston-Salem. It was truly a dynamic time with great speakers. John Stonestreet had so many great things to say- I think I went to 2-3 of his sessions- it was awesome. What was really exciting was that Casiphia & I were accepted into the talent showcase on Friday night with our dance piece, Carried to the Table by Leeland.

There is something so special about using your gifts for the Lord, and being able to share them with others. It's so fulfilling. Reflecting back, I think of the exhilarating feeling of going onto the stage and doing what you were created to do. I joke and tell people sometimes that I was dancing in the womb. But seriously, I probably was :)

I am so grateful to the Lord for this opportunity, and for parents who have been so supportive over the years. They have driven me to so many rehearsals and practices for dance. It has been such a blessing and I love you mom and dad!!

On another note,
I am taking a summer Biology class. So far I really like my teacher, who makes a 50-min session seem like 15. Although I do not enjoy the movie to hold us through the last hour of lab, I am pretty excited to be learning more about God's creation. I love to learn and I'm looking forward to a great 8 weeks.

God Bless!!
