Today was Day of Dance. It was very fun but hard. I was sore before I started the class because yesterday we had a guest artist in Level 3 dance, now I’m even more sore. I had a great time and learned a few things, not just about dance. I thought of this great analogy. So the first class was “contact improv” basically a lot of partner work with leaning on the other person. It was interesting because the harder you leaned on the other person, the more they leaned back and the easier it became. See this relates to life in a very real way. The closer of a relationship I have with someone, the more I tell them, and the more they tell me, the easier and better our relationship becomes. Now with all this leaning, and telling it also becomes more risky, or dangerous. If my partner in dance is leaning all the way on me and I let go, pow! They could get hurt. It is the same in real life. If I tell my friend a lot of personal things that I haven’t told many people and they go tell someone else what I said, pow! I am going to get hurt. So I realize that with both of these trust is the main issue. You have to trust others in all that you do. The great thing is that I always have someone I can trust and lean on, his name is Jesus. He will never let me fall, he will never tell my secrets, and he will always be there for me. What a friend eh?

I wish I could have gone to day of dance, ecpessilaly for Mary’s class!
but I had a theate improv class, it was great!
anyways, very nice good thinking Spencer
God is the only person that we can tell anything too, and we don’t have to worry about falling, becouse he is always going to be there to catch us when we fall.
I like this, mucho

Wow, that’s a pretty awesome analogy…kinda hits me hard too because I have issues trusting people. Well…perhaps trust isn’t the right word..I just don’t tell them things. When I’m feeling really down or something deep is bothering me, I just keep it between me and God. Which can be good, but we also need to let friends support us. I have issues doing that…

Yeah. I used to have a problem trusting people, but I’m getting better. Thanks Katie! I rather like the analogy to.

People generally think i m an opean person and that they know all bout me but generally this isent true. I have many skelletons in my closet that are old and dusty and that,quite frankly, i would not like to talk bout . It is really cool though beccause i can have jesus.. not necesarally take those creepy skellitons away.. but dust them off and make them easier on the eyes… yah know what i mean?? well it really does help when you talk to someone bout something but then it is also hard on the person who u told… yah that is confusing but bear w me… then that perrson is really tempted to tell someone else… instead they can just tell God. And in turn.. if u listen, he will help u bolth through it. …yah… i love that we have the bestest friend in the world, we can tell him anything and he wont think less of us at all. he already knows it. I love Jesus soo MUCHO!!!
