A New Leader

Last week Devin stepped down from leading our dance group. He said he had other things that needed to take priority and stuff like that. So Uncle Josh took over last Wednesday said he would be possibly need assistance in the near and distant future. (Dancing isn't really in his comfort zone, but he has really great ideas and stuff.) I immediately volunteered after class and he said we should talk about it some time.

This past Saturday he left a voice mail on my phone saying that he wanted to give me a chance to help choreograph a second dance for YFN, (if we win the talent show we get to preform again,) and to lead the group that is going. I was so excited! So while he teaches a drama to the group stays home, I'll be teaching our dance to the rest of them. How cool is that?

So on Tuesday in between getting my permit renewed and taking the ADAP class, Uncle Josh and I met at the church. He had taken a seven minute song and condensed it to just over ninety seconds, (that's the limit time for the talent show.) Uncle Josh is so amazing! He did a such a great job. It's an amazing song and we choreographed the first half of it. Devin came in after a few minutes and helped us figure out a few things. It was so much fun.

Then the next day I talked to Uncle Josh on the phone and he said that Devin still wanted to dance in the group if I didn't mind. I was like, "are you kidding me?! Of course I want him there!" He's a great dancer and has the passion needed for the song. I had hoped he would want to, especially since we only have one other guy in the group.

Anyway, since last night was the first night doing the new dance, Uncle Josh lead it, just to make the transition easier. Next week I'll take over. I'm so excited! This kind of thing is so up my alley. And the dance is going to be amazing! Devin says it's "sick." I know that's supposed to mean it's uber-cool and I'm sorry, but when you've spent hours feeling nauseous and throwing up in a car, the word "sick" will only make you think of one thing. Haha!

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this opportunity. It's totally a God thing. =D
