Life Is Hard...I Know
Life is sooooo hard. We, as Christians, are tempted, or faith is tested, we doubt, yet in the end God saves and forgives us. We are told in Ephesians 6: 12-18 to put the armor of God on. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide you a way out." Such a lovely verse! We think we are alone when we are tried but we're not! Also 1 Peter 5:8-9 says, "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same problems." The enemy will get into your mind and tell you lies but we have to turn towards him and say, "Be gone, I will not listen to your lies for you are making me doubt about God. God is not evil, He is pure, holy and perfect." I warn you, do not fall into the net of the world for it will be so hard to climb out of! Trust God to help you out for the more we struggle the more we are entangled. One more thing Jesus was also tempted and He struggled but he did not give in, He fought through and saved us by being perfect and righteous!

Dance in the Best Words That I could Think Of
There are so many types of dance. Here are a few: ballet(including pointe work),jazz,lyrical/modern,hip-hop,ballroom and so many others. If you have never danced I will tell you the basic feel of these dances if I can put it into words. Ballet is you have to find your body and push it to the limit, moving your body in ways it is not used to,every muscle is used down even to your pinky toe. Jazz, well, it is learning to find the beat in the music and learning to keep up to even the fastest and look kind of sassy. Lyrical/modern is a mixture between ballet/jazz with its own look and feel, twisting your body into modern lines. Hip-hop is just feeling the music and looking hip and cool at the same time while being very hard. Ballroom (DO NOT QUOTE ME ON THIS NEVER DONE IT, IT IS JUST A GUESS) is when you have to just your partner and keep to the time with them (p.s. watch Dancing With the Stars that might help). So there you have it folks, the best words that I could think of to use in describing dance. Try it and you will understand how hard it is.

North and South Music
Love this music and listening to right now!
I highly recommend this show good and with no bad images and based off the book of Elizabeth Gaskell. It has myfavorite actor in it and he does such a good job also the girl does a great job too.
Not Selfish(Gifts and All)
Deuteronomy 15:11 "There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land." We must not be selfish with our money nor our gifts, for that matter, because God has given us these things and we should not use them badly but well for the kingdom of God. If you love music and are musical use that to praise God. If you are a dancer dance for God. If you love to act use that for God. Use everything that is unique and amazing about yourself for the God who gave them to you. Psalm 150 "Praise Him with music and dancing." is the whole type of chapter in that psalm. Do what you love!!
