I'm thanking God today for legs that can dance and jump, for a voice that can sing and shout, for eyes that can see and perceive, and for a heart that can love and enjoy. I'm thanking Him for bright lights in my face, for a mic by my mouth, for a costume on my body, and for fake curls in my hair.

Singing. Dancing. Acting.
Yes.
I feel alive - so alive, so happy. (so tired)
And I get to do it all again tonight.
You cross your fingers, and hold your heart - another opening of another show! AHHH, I'm so excited for you, my dear Becca. I know exactly what you mean - that strange emotion where everything simply swells and soars around you - the music, the audience, the thrill coursing through your fellow actors - and you find yourself simply flying, feet on the stage but head among the stars :) I hope tonight and the rest of your shows are as incredibly amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd I wanted to say how much I loved your last post. I've actually tried to comment three times, but the stupid computer keeps eating them. Anyway...just I have that vision too. Good artists making good art for the glory of God. Doesn't have to be labeled Christian to bring Him honor and glory - just making our very best, and bringing light into the dark places. And I know that you are, and will be, a brilliant light in the midst of all those shiny stage lights :)
Aw, thank you Megan. I'm so glad to have a friend like you who understands my strange addiction to this thing called theatre! :) Love lots!
