God is the Author of my life's story, and I'm excited to see what He has in store as each new chapter unfolds. I don't yet know the ending, but I trust that it will be better than I ever imagined! I invite you to read along...

The Joy of Christmas

I just finished the last of three performances in our church's Christmas production, "The Joy of Christmas." It was a great show with the choir and live orchestra and drama. I played the mom of a 10-year-old girl. My character had heard the story of Christmas from her grandparents when she was young, but never told her own daughter about the real meaning of Christmas. She gets her grandmother's old nativity set in the mail, and it sets the stage for her explaining the story of Christmas to her daughter. Despite some minor technical glitches with our microphones, it went very well! I am glad it's over, though. Even though performing is fun, it carries with it a certain level of stress that I am quite happy to be free from again!

Here's a photo of me with Desanka Ilic, the little girl who played my daughter. She did such a good job! It was a joy to work with her!

I had to re-wrap the nativity set each night to be used for the next performance!


I'm thankful that the Lord helped us to remember our lines and that many people were blessed by the performances all three nights! All glory to Him!
