The Joy is Abundant!

I had an exciting monumental moment yesterday. Yesterday I was on my laptop which I had been on a lot of the day, checking my email essentially every five minutes. When finally not until 4:40 in the afternoon there was a new email in my inbox , the email I had been waiting for. It said: AUDITION RESULTS.


I clicked on it, started reading and skimmed really quick to the part that said: At this time, we are pleased to offer you a role in the ensemble. I let out the loudest "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" that I had ever done. It was completely untethered straight from my heart, I couldn't keep quiet. I think I just kept repeating my scream for five minutes. Just literally staring at the email smiling.


Then I called my mom and said "I got in the show!! I got it I got it I got it!" I said I was so excited because I just wanted to work with the choreographer and music director and director SO BAD. When I was at callbacks with them I was like this is the reason why I moved here. I wanted to be around them more than anything, my soul was dying to be surrounded by these fun, energetic, smart, talented, KIND, artists. And then as I was talking about that I started crying because I realized I how bad I wanted it. I realized my wish was coming true. And I realized my heart was right just like I knew. But it's nice when it comes to fruition.


It's nice that I decided to spend money on taking dance classes here in Orlando because that made me believe in myself more, and that put me in the right environment to be prepared.


I never doubted myself, I knew I was made for this. But boy the amount of "Thank you for your time" emails I got can be very taxing! The reason I keep going though is because I actually do not doubt my purpose. I know it. It is not a hobby it is part of the way God created me. It is that I have something that can't be learned. I perform the same way a bird flys. It is just part of my makeup and I know it.
