Step into the Zone

Growing up as a little gal in church, I've always dreamt of dancing on stage. Looking up, I always thought to myself that it was only for the called or the talented ones but as for me I will remain "down here" to something else the Lord has for me =) When DARE started a new dept for dancing, I thought maybe I can join the kids for it. I may not be able to do it when I was young, but at least I get to do it with them now. Litlle did I know that they were auditioning for Planet Shakers. I tried out and toke a step of faith to join with my nil experience. And by His grace I pass the audition. The first few weeks were pretty relax. But as the day drew nearer, I got anxious and had thoughts like, "What have I gotten myself into", "This is a dance to thousands, wat if I forget my steps." I have every thought of backing off. But I stayed on doing it afraid on the inside. Knowing well that when it is completed,  it has been for a great cause. I wanted to take this journey to trust Him in what I know I cannot do by myself. 
It has indeed been a good experience. It was a combination of DARE, Arrow, & the adults coming together to dance. I got to know so many people I wouldn't have if I had not been in it. And I love you all =) We stayed up late, rented rooms & got Steph really worried =) At the final week the Storm were still not giving her performance quality.We just couldn't do it together. What you saw that day was a miracle by itself. An acceleration =)
When the day arrived, every fear I have left. I would shiver and shake when I give a presentation to my class of 20 or even 5 people! I did not even try to do it afraid this time. I was just at rest and it felt like the Lord taking over my steps. Now I understood what it meant when my fren told me, "The Lord will take over". He surely did.
Little would this little girl have imagined her dream came true dancing for the Lord in front of thousands and many walked up or even ran up that day to receive Christ! =) What an awesome sight. What she thought was impossible, the Lord made it possible for His glory.
Thank you Stephanie, Jean & Shanti for teaching us. I had so much fun learning and dancing with you all, laughing so hard over our mistakes. You guys were so patient with us and that was something I admire and learnt.
Grace IS with us!
