Dance dance like it's the last last night of you life life.

Oh my goodness. Tonight was incredible. It was our Wonderland Ball and this is only its second year. Everyone gets all dressed up in their pretty gowns or handsome tuxes. And it's just a really fun night.
Mrs. Swafford is the mastermind behind it all and it sure looks incredible. One upping every year. Senior year is gonna be super awesome. Beyond indescribable, because we will he seniors( including Julia, her daughter). Anyway, she does and awesome job and we can't thank her enough, along with everyone who sets it up and takes it down.
I got to help set it up:) I hot to tape and paint with glitter. Glitter EVERYWHERE!!! All over me too.
Me and 8 other friends went out to eat before the dance, to demos'. 8 of us girls and 1 boy, whose date was one of the girls. It was so fin. And getting to the dance was super great.
Bit (rented) stretch limo as a prop, outside, in front of the red carpet and mr. Gregory as an interviewer. Yes! Lol.
Music was great to dance too. And I danced with my dad to the song "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis chapman. Great time:) and the a couple of my friends got their dads and danced too. Precious moment.
Thanks!

But What if You're Single and.... Happy?

Image
I've been sent a few reels over the last couple months talking about singleness and the different feelings around it. One said that people will talk about 4 major relationship categories,  1. Married and happy 2. Married and unhappy 3. Single and happy 4. Single and unhappy And how one of the categories is talked about the least... can you guess which one?  It's #3: Single and Happy.  I've not done the research, so maybe that discounts all of what I'm saying or about to say, but as someone who routinely checkmarks the single box, my life and experiences are the research. Why is it that so few people talk about what it looks like to be single and happy? In my observation, it's because there often is one goal and one goal alone to strive for: "get married, have kids". And if those things are not happening then how could one possibly be fulfilled, whole, happy, or thriving? A good question.  But what if I told you there was something else? That single people ...

Awaiting the Holy Night - Mary's Perspective

Image
I wrote this post back in December 18, 2022 and never published it but with Christmas around the corner and joining my family in reading a chapter of Luke a day to celebrated Advent, I decided to circle back around to it. I know it may be taboo to read into how a Biblical character might have felt or what they might have thought, but adding personification to the people that we read so much about felt like an exciting venture. And besides that, The Chosen TV series came out around that time and it brought so many characters to life... giving them thoughts, feelings, and emotions so I felt that maybe I was in the clear (I mean, now anytime I read Jesus's words in Scripture, I hear Jonathan Roumie's voice). Below is my mind's rendering of how I imagined Mary (and Joseph) felt and what they might have thought the days leading up to and the night of Christ's birth.  --- What do you mean, I'm pregnant? Pregnant... at 15... with the coming Messiah?! I can't show my a...

Grief - It's Okay

Image
Grief. How does someone wrestle with the wounds it leaves?  It's a fog that covers a valley. It's a g-force against our lungs like we're on one of those carnival rides that spins so fast, you're pinned to a wall. It's a cloud that specifically rains on you when everything and everyone else is basking in sunshine. It's a numbness that can feel like an emotional void. And like a spinning record, it plays over and over again. Grief comes in all shapes and sizes from all sorts of occasions. There could be a seasonal grief due to weather changes and the days getting darker earlier after sunshine and late nights and warmth kissed you all summer. There's the grief of change: you move, you start a job / job ends, a bad grade occurs, your body isn't doing things the way it used to, and injury changes the course of what you thought life would look like. Then there's the relational grief. This is the one that surrounds you when you lose a relationship, when the...
