Well, today was it -
opening day! By that I mean my first show of this year. You see, I'm part of the super amazing cast of
project ARC, a show about rights and responsibilities, purpose, perspective and insecurity that travels around to different schools in our area performing for kids. It is INCREDIBLE! I've been part of it since its creation a year ago and have learned so much. I've learned about performing, about kids, about reaching out, about battling insecurity, about accepting the responsibilities that come with the rights I have as a human being, about slap dancing, about connecting and about a million other things. Though this show isn't from a Christian perspective, I pray that God is using it for His glory, and I think He is. We are seeking to make a difference in these kids' lives by shining an ARC of action, responsibility and choice into their lives, and I'm seeking to do it for the Lord.
This morning I was really nervous, though. The butterflies weren't doing their normal fluttering tap dance; I felt more like a boxing match was going on in there! But Mom and I prayed before the show, and just a few minutes in, the butterflies had exited the ring and retired their gloves. Needless to say, I was pretty happy. The show went on smoothly.
Today was such a blessing from the Lord. He helped me rely on Him more, helped me entrust my worries and cares to Him and blessed my show. I thank Him for all that He has done for me on this amazing opening day!
