The Kyries

[flaglady]

Dear friends



I am so excited! I have just had my first rehearsal for the Kyries. Only six ladies came but it was enough for me to try out my very, very first experience as dance teacher/coach and director!!! Talk about a learning curve! :linedance:



But they were so up for it - enthusiasm abounds. And they were so very good on this, their first rehearsal. None - except Cheryl - had ever even held a flag before nor seen one used, :don'tshoot: so it was an especial delight to see them trying so hard, and succeeding, in this venture.



Cheryl is the young lass I saw dancing at Hope Church one day and knew instantly that she just had to be the principal dancer. She was the exact image I have had in my head all these six years - athletic, slim, just the right height and - most astoundingly - the long auburn hair!! When I saw her at Hope I was totally 'gob-smacked' (hate that word but sometimes it fits and this is one of those times!!) and just stood and stared at her in disbelief! I had invited her to join the troupe but didn't mention the principle dancer bit as I didn't want to scare her off. I thought I'd at least let her experience one rehearsal before I broached the subject. Well tonight was the night and she said 'yes'! She asked why I wasn't doing it and I answered 'because I'm too old, too fat, I can't dance and besides, I've got a gammy leg to boot!'. I was soooo thrilled when she said yes, I can't tell you! :twirl:



Well, that's about the state of play at present but I'll keep you posted as things develop. Prayers, needless to say, would be most appreciated.



Oh, and the amazing thing is that, despite recently having days when I've had to use a walking stick, tonight my knee feels sound, strong and totally pain-free!!



Our God is a good, gracious and totally awesome God!!

Hallelujah!
