Wow it's been almost a month since I posted!!

Okay so really the reason I'm posting is because Tabbie is getting on to me, and I know that she needs something to read at work! Anyways it's been a couple of crazy weeks. Recital was a week ago today, and yes it has taken me this long to recover. Actually I spained my ankle Saturday after the show and then I got sick on Wednesday and I've not had a voice until today. It really bites to not be able to talk when that's what you do the best.

I was telling Barry last night how cool it is that God reveals stuff to me in perfect timing. I was thinking the week before recital how weird it was that my ex wasn't going to be there. Because for the last four years all he had heard me talk about was dance. And then it hit me that even if he and I were together he wouldn't have been there. He was never there. Because he didn't love me. All this time I was worried about never falling in love again and so scared that I woudn't be a mom and a wife. And then I realized that he never loved me anyways. But God has promised to prosper me and not to harm me, plans of hope and a future. And he's also promised that he's given me the desires that are in my heart, and that he totally plans on fulfilling them. I had invited people to my recital that really mean a lot to me; Matt "Boo" & Carrie (my youth pastors), Aunt Marcia and Uncle Timmy (who are my spiritual Parents), and my God parents Susanne and Carl Carrier, and all of them came to support me. I think most of them knew that it was more of a God thing for me than just a recital. I have placed the whole last year in God's lap and told him to do with it what he will. And I think that he's using it, to not only stretch my faith, but allowing me to minister to children through it. I also think that God has shown in the last few months what love really is. I know that all the people that were there at recital with me really love me. Tabbie, Audrey, DJ, and Scotty are all of my friends that pulled together to help pull this recital off. Tabbie and Audrey really stepped up with I needed them the most and helped me pull through as not only the director of the show but also a performer. I'm learning with Barry what true friendship and love is really about. It's about caring more about the other person than yourself, which after Matt is something that I didn't think I could ever do again. I'm learning to trust him, and his decisions, and work things out without getting up set. I'm learning to see things through God's eyes and learning that his plan is better than my own (even though I choleric and that's really hard for me!).

Recital could not have been more perfect, not even if the girls didn't miss a beat, and some of them did, but I know that they gave it there all and I'm so proud of them for it. I love them all so much and this week has been so hard not seeing them.

Let's see........what else is going on? Audrey is having a girl (yea! dance class here we come). Her name is going to be Ava Grace, and I will probably call her by both names, just because I want to instill her southern roots in here. I'm so excited, only three more months. I'm going to youth Camp, as a counsler, that's a little weird. I used to hate people like me, lol. I'm not going on the cruise I was planning because mom is freaking out about the chick that is missing in Aruba. And I know that I have to honor her decision and I'm not talking bad but can we just step back and think for a second. Do I even go to clubs in America, where I know how to get around? And do I drink? See both of these would be the factors leading to her abduction. And might I point out that I'm not even going to Aruba!!!! It was a cruise, to mexico. The worst thing that could have happened is I could have gotten some bad water. But truth be told I probably wouldn't have let my daughter go either. But you can bet mom is so going to make up for it with a really great road trip, and it will include them parks. I love you mom, but you know I'm right. Anyways I think that's about it. Summer classes are about to gear up at the studio and I'm excited. I can't wait until my ankle is well again so that I can dance. I love you guys. Talk to you later. Byah ~ Amber Sheree
