LOCK IN with our Encore DANCERS!!!

We had so much fun FRI Aug. 15, 2008 with our Encore Company DANCERS hangin', playin', cleanin' & "runnin' around town" at 3am...YES, I said 3am. Like in "tradition" of our 2nd annual LOCK IN before our OPEN HOUSE Aug. 16, we walked, visited and shopped at CVS & Walmart!!!! I love my girls, they are PRECIOUS!!!! I KNOW more & more WHY God called me to open Encore...to love, minister, teach & be with these young lives! I'm honored and humbled...

Here were are showing "our guns" - deliriously TIRED and maybe even "slap happy" but I don't know who was slapping who...haha. We didn't even get KICKED out this time :). I guess because last year, I WAS the only "adult" with them and the worker at CVS wanted us to be "supervised." This time Ms. Melissa kept us in line :)...and it was still SO FUN.

Here we are "RUNNING" through the DRIVE THRU at CVS...The Pharmacy was still open & I'm sure the Pharmacist thought we were crazy...probably wanting to give us FREE sleeping pills...ha ha. LOL -- I did NOT post the picture that Olivia took of me trying to order "Pho" (Vietnamese Soup") from KFC... Idk why no one answered my request :). I guess because it was 3:30am and they were NOT open and do NOT make Pho there...Wrong place, wrong time!!!

Finally, after wandering around Walmart, dodging trouble and attention from lurking Police around :) (J/K) and running toward (?) I mean AWAY from sprinklers...we sacked out in the studio... We got a whole 3 hrs. sleep from 430am-730am before I woke everyone up to kick them out to get cleaned up and return for Encore's 3rd season OPEN HOUSE!!! Wow, 2 full years under our belt and God remains steadfast in training me up in many ways at Encore & trusting and leaning on HIM...always!!! (Prov. 3:5-6)

To each of my Encore DANCERS, please KNOW I love you, I pray for you and I KNOW God will do great and mighty things in your lives (Jer. 29:11) - so while you DANCE with me at Encore - I will do all I can to build you up in Mind, Body & Spirit...that you may KNOW "YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS YOU!!!" (Phil. 4:13) I love you. So, here's to movin' on by HIS glory & grace...we DANCE with Purpose!!!!!
