Stevie's Dance Rehearsal

 This past weekend was Stevie Joy's dance recital!

Her rehearsal was Friday night.

All the girls in her class were so precious and sweet!

This is her with her friend, Kyndall

 

Here she is right before they were about to go on stage to practice

She has this secret handshake with her teachers, she LOVES to do it with them :)

 

Can you tell how pumped she is!? (and her teachers too!) ;)

 

costumes!

 

Stevie was sooo excited to get on stage!

She kept asking again and again to go out there.

Prior to this recital, this whole week we have been talking about fear and anxiety and how they have no place in our bodies.  That the Lord cannot give what He does not have and so fear and anxiety are not from Him.  We have also memorized and quoted the scripture, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phillipians 4:13.  Well I *reackon* it worked!  Sister was not scared one bit!  She was in love with the stage!

  So graceful!

 

I'm not going to lie, it was a lot of work to get her here.  With 3 other babies and she is barely 4 years old, and it's expensive (relatively), often I feel like her dance is work!  However, seeing her light up on stage and watching how much joy it brings her made it all well worth it!  I almost cried her little dancing was so sweet!!  Now I was just praying she would do this well at the recital!  Her little classmates were a little scared so it made me nervous that it may rub off on her.  So we kept saying our verse over and over just in case ;)

Up next the recital!
