So much for my promise of blogging every day of the week,
and that was two weeks ago.. SMH
On Saturday, we planned to take the kids Easter Egg hunting
at one of the parks here in Bentonville, and then to a birthday party. Hubby
bailed out on us because of his allergies and the kids and I took a good long
nap in the afternoon. By the time I got up, they were still sleeping, so I
headed out to the store to buy the birthday kiddo a gift. At this point, I
squashed the plans for Easter egg hunting and just focused on the party. We had
a really good time!
Some photos before we left the house…
My Resurrection Sunday went by pretty quickly. I did
something that I have never done before… I danced at church! Wait for it…
ALONE!!! I’m still wondering how I pulled it off. Lol. The story starts early last
year when I asked my baby sis to send me her dancing gear. For some reason I
wanted to dance on resurrection Sunday that year but that never happened. But
why would it? I had never danced before and the one time I was recruited to
dance, I was supposed to dance with the dance ministry at my church in Atlanta
to “Now, Behold the Lamb” by Kirk Franklin. I vividly remember practicing with
everyone but I’m not sure what happened after that because I sure as heck
wasn’t part of the performance. LOL! I really wonder how I was able to escape
that. Anyhoo, fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I said to myself again..
“I want to dance”. So I called up the dance leader at my church in Atlanta and
she gave me the encouragement I needed. However! My plan was to not tell a
soul. Besides hubby, my sisters and my mother (who by the way made fun of me
and rightfully so.. ha!), I told only one person at church that I would dance.
My plan was to back out if I needed to without having to answer any questions.
So terrible!
Long story short, I picked a song, got on YouTube, found a
dance routine I liked. I watched it a good number of times, learned the routine
in one night and I just had to practice, practice until it was time. The time
did come and I did dance and I sit here and take no glory. None. I am very
thankful to God for being able to have done that. I pray someone was touched by
it. Hubby recorded the dance but don’t expect to see that video… LOL
Major respect to dancers out there. And I’ll leave it at
that. Lol!
Some photos of the kiddos in their Resurrection Sunday
outfits…
Hope you had a Special weekend!
