Hello my friends, I apologize for the long wait between posts.......we have been wrapping up the dance season 2011/2012 with a bunch of recitals (my daughter's recreational recital), my son's 'Solo, Duet and Trio' Recital....."The night of the stars' and yesterday the competitive Gala event, where the competitive students give back to society by giving of their time and talent to inspire underprivileged children through a running/dancing and reading program called Start2Finish. - I am so proud of them. My son absolutely danced his personal best yesterday.
This and my parent's visit has occupied a lot of my time...... - with my parents being here, I was pushed back a notch.....remember I was tested big time in February, when my father was here, and we had the meeting with my brother......at that time I was still struggling on a much deeper level, than I struggle today, as I questioned everything regarding my faith. Yet, God saw me through and today, this is not the struggle anymore - Praising God for having delivered me from the doubts, that were tormenting me to the depth of all that I stand for.
Today the struggle is, to stay in my joy and peace despite the negativity that surrounds me at times. Again, God placed some reading material, and a YouTube video before me, that stated it loud and clear, that again, I have a choice - I can let this pull me down or I can choose to live above it. When I took singing lessons several years ago, my teacher said, that I had to learn to sing above my sore throat - it's not easy, but it can be done.....
The YouTube video that I watched, showed me, how I can suck prove my soul - I can choose to give my rights and what's bothering me to God, which then moves me back up into the Joy and Peace that God gives me, when I rest in close contact with Him - for nobody can take away from you, what you've surrendered/freely given to God - just like Jesus freely laid down His life for our sins - with that, what looked like the cruel murder of Jesus in the old days, was a freely given sacrifice.
Having grasped that truth, helps me, to move beyond and above my daily struggles being with people, who suck the life out of me...... - I know, that I am not mastering this yet, but I know that it will get better with each day, that I am choosing to live accordingly.
Praying for you my friends - that you may be able to apply this truth in your daily struggles as well.
I love you lots, and I hope to spend more time with you again soon - especially now that school wraps up soon.
Be blessed my friends - today and always
