i had a cute time at school on friday. when i was driving in i was amping myself, getting pumped for an amazing day. but then i guess i allowed myself to be shaken. i got my timetable and literally freaked out. i knew no one in my classes. i guess thats what you get for choosing to go to a school with 2700 students. sneaky jesus though put people in all my classes that i had been praying for but never really got the chance to get to know. im pumped that i dont know anyone, means i have to be stretched. but in the moment it was overwhelming. i honestly just felt like crying, not because i had no friends but because i felt small and powerless.while i was having a wee wah at lunch god started reminding me of things that had been spoken over my life, things that fitted directly into this situation. i walked into art and sat at a table of girls i had never talked to before. then cass came in and sat next to me. she started talking to the girls about church. i got so excited. her confidence and faith gave me confidence and faith. god told me exactly what he wanted my themes to be for my portfolio, i am pumped. when we started planning all the girls were asking me what i was going to do. great opportunity. even the teacher was drawn into the conversation that followed. it was an incredible moment.
elevate was beaut. i had never seen it like that. everyone just carried it.
pumped for 2011.
ps i miss dancing so much.
i read sam fortys blog 'to bike' the other day. then i read wendas when she said thats how it felt when she painted. and i realised thats what dancing was like for me.
to dance, is to escape.
