Do you know who you are?

Today, I am so thankful for who I am. And who am I?  I am a woman, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a retired school teacher, a cancer survivor, a dancer and so much more.  I am also a daughter.  I am the daughter of Charles and Kathleen.  But more important than any of the afore mentioned, I am a daughter of the most high God!  He is my abba Father and I am adored by him.  He lavishes His love on me and wraps me with favour. He has given me great and precious promises.  He has plans to prosper me. Wow!  Because of the sacrifice of his only Son, Jesus Christ, and the blood that was shed for me, I am worthy to receive all that He has for me.  It is all that I could ever want or need.  Do you know who you are?

You Just Gotta Dance!

I know I have written about dancing before.  But I am so excited that I must tell you what I am doing now.  I just started tap dance lessons.  That's right!  I had my very first ever tap dance lesson on Friday night and I can't wait to go back this Friday.  It was so much fun and low impact; so I don't have to worry about hurting myself.  At least not yet, it is a beginner's class and I was able to keep up with the steps so far.  I imagine that it can get a little trickier as we begin to put certain steps together to make a routine and I need to remember the order.  However, that will be good for me, too.  It will be another challenging exercise for my brain as well as sudoko that I enjoy.  Last week, I wore running shoes to class; but I am going to look for a pair of tap shoes as soon as I get the chance.  It will be a lot more fun, to actually hear a tap.  Of course, if I don't tap at the same time as others, it may be a little too telling.  Oh, dear!
