Another Week..... Half-way Point!

Well Saturday morning all the girls and guys here for two weeks left, and it was hard seeing some of the parents pick them up and know I am not to see my family for another two weeks. And yet I am very glad not to be saying goodbye to my dear friends. Soooooo...... This week we learned the Spanish variation from the Ballet Mag! ballet A Christmas Dream. The story is based on the Nutcracker, but it is about all the different countries coming to worship Jesus. It was so much fun! We have also learned a solo from The Hiding Place ballet. They are all so beautiful there is something so powerful in a dance created for the glory of God. Every time I dance one, I feel so close to God. It's like a prayer.

Jazz classes are insane as our teacher has been Ms. Kathy Thibodeux's (Ballet Mag's founder, directer, and Alpha Company principle still at the age of 52) daughter, Tara. Like mother, like daughter! Ms. Kathy actually taught our technique class Friday morning, and she is better than all the 20-some company members put together. The talent here in general is amazing and slightly overwhelming to observe when the company member, apprentices, or trainees perform or teach class. I am loving the beautiful art.

Last night we actually got off-campus to go to a Vicky Beeching concert at this mega-church called Pine Lake. Vicky is an English worship leader who has since moved to the US and released several CDs. It was a wonderful time.

People, my God is an awesome God!
