Dear Readers, I thought that I would put this poem on here that I wrote recently. As a ballet fan, I love the artistic quality of the choreography and movement of Ballet. Dancing Ballet, at least in my view, is the creative merge portrayed between a dancer's imagination and movement. These two blend together to create a unique portrayal of beauty. Although Ballet is also a dance that requires much hard work and discipline, it is also somewhat freeing in it's way. Anyhow- while reflecting on what I just said, I sent my pen to paper and this poem is the result. I hope you enjoy the beauty of 'the dance' as much as I did. -Lindsay “The Dance” Flashes of sequined tulle in the air A bright sash from a dancer’s hand, twirling; Like a bird, it sings and glides- To the command of the dancer *“Jete, danseur, Jete!” commands the instructor; While the girl responds with a swift m...
Dear Readers, I just thought that I would share with you something that I have been convicted with recently. For the past month I have been working at my new job as a toddler teacher at a daycare. I work full time and am gone all day until late in the evening, leaving me with Saturday and Sunday off.

I thought to myself. "What if I recorded every time that I said that? What if I calculated the amount and compared it to the number of times that I said the opposite? What if I made it a goal to not say that every day as an ex...
Dear Readers, I have been really excited recently with something that I have caught back up on in my walk. When I was thirteen, I started writing down my prayers in a journal each day. It helped me to keep track of prayer requests and to be faithful in my communication with God. Anyhow- I have been doing it ever since, but recently have fallen away with this ritual. I stumbled upon one of these journals and was reminded about it. I have started again with a new book now and I am so glad to be back in the swing of my Prayer Journal writing again, as I have missed the comfort of it for a while! Anyways- I just thought that I would mention this idea to you. There are so many benefits to a Prayer Journal, and I just wanted to share with all of you! If you are having trouble remembering to pray, then this is a great way to get back into things. Just find a notebook or journal and keep it next to your bed for easy remembrance. I also keep a small prayer jo...
