Our Sunday school rockstar dance troupe rocked everyone's socks off!
(see Titus on the bottom left, watching the show?)
Our number was 这一生最美的祝福, "Life's Most Beautiful Blessing"
Song selection, t-shirt design and light-up stars was the vision of yours truly.
Choreography compliments of other teachers. (I slopped dance together but they didn't like it...hehe.)
Translation:
In countless dark nights I use the stars to portray you
Your grace, like the morning stars, really let me see you
In my songs I use musical notes to praise you
Your beauty I praise all my life
This is life's most beautiful blessing: just to know the Lord Jesus
This is life's most beautiful blessing: just to rely on the Lord Jesus
In the valley of the tallest mountain
He will go with me
I know this is life's most beautiful blessing
Christmas and Easter performances are a tradition in our community.
At first we thought they were kinda a pointless waste of energy.
Several years into this gig we have come to appreciate the value of a family coming together using talents, creativity, skills, music, dance, and tons of cooperation.
Making a big, homemade, joyful deal out of Jesus.
He is a big deal!
We're gonna dance it. And sing it.
And fake marching-band it.
Who, in the brainstorming sesh exclaimed, "I know! For the Easter show, let's do a fake marching band dance to Handel's Messiah!"
Told ya it's creative.
Rest of the show was pretty traditional and very lovely.
I personally am grateful to this community for giving me a creative outlet were I can together with a family express joy over Jesus in music, color and movement.
It's inspiring and internally fortifying to watch others employ their abilities to return the lovin' to him. Knowing how much he likes us his kiddos, Pops must have thought our show was pretty cute.
Felt his smile.
counting the graces
thank you Father for
four part-days at Butterfly Home, to get reconnected with people and the work here
children healed of ear infection and pink eye
riding a new bicycle that's lightweight and efficient through city traffic
times with Li Ci, and though her speech impediment prevents me from understanding 90% of what she says, that 10% is still golden
collective prayers of repentance as a family
meeting you in quiet thoughts just here and there throughout the day
joy imagining Showmans and Linns together
cradled between mountain and river, sun low on horizon on a Sunday evening
Oh man--fake marching band it! That is so cool. I love the rock star theme too.This post makes me so happy and homesick for China.
