living for the stage

These days go by so fast and take so much energy, but this feeling isn't completely foreign.
This week I will make my debut in the Sound of Music on stage playing a variety of characters, which happens to be, I believe, one of my specialties.

This time there is no falling in love with donkey's or weird psychologically wacked movie stars or emotional mail order brides who refuses to kiss their best guy friend who happens to be playing the husband or self-centered flirtatious radio actresses who finger tip toe around. No. This time, there is a "pious" nun, a lighthearted partygoer who learned to waltz properly and a stage hogging flamboyant girl who can't even help it. OH, and there's singing.

This will be the 5th time I get up on stage during my highschool career and act to an audience. I look back and realize just how far I've come in my dramatic arts career and all the wonderfully off-kilter characters I have had the intense priviledge to play. It is indeed wonder-full.

Part of me lives for the stage. Yes. I know it very well.
If I didn't have to worry about building a life and posisbly a career and I had all the money I needed, I would go into theatre arts in university. While that may not be a reality, I will certainly take all these experiences, techiniques and moments and use them through out any career I may have with children. Who knows, maybe the threatre won't be able to keep me away. Maybe, you'll find me storming the theatre and standing centre stage yet again.

crunch time!

The Sound of Music rapidly approaches and it seems that right now, it is my life. Well, besides school. I love it and dislike and am thoroughly exhausted by it all at the same time.

What an experience. I suppose I should savour these last 2 weeks of play practice mayhem because after it's over it willl never be duplicated.

Thank God for days off when I can recharge.

so it's that designated love oriented time of the year

No three words have greater power than "I love you".

Valentines Day. It can be rough for some people for various different reasons. It can also contain some of the most romantic moments for others.
Could we find a happy medium?

with all

Did you know that when it says in Proverbs 3: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart...."
It actually means with// ALL //your heart?
All of it. All means ALL. Everything. The beginning, end, and in between.

This fact startled me this weekend as it sunk in.

All of me, for more of Him.
