Theater

Really busy! First is Cleveland Shakespeare. Second is the monologue I'm going to be doing for church. Third is reading for a part in Nightmare--Jeff insisted that I try (bless his soul). Fourth is auditioning for the JCC and a really big name here. Plus getting help for all of these. I wanted to do more theater, and it comes roaring down my way!

They told me that for the part in Nightmare I might be too young. Then again, they haven't seen me with my hair short.

I'm off to work to pick a pattern for my costume for the medieval fair and then to the library to pick up some Spanish book so I have a head start on my class this fall.

God is great. :-D I love this life.

Sunday

It's Jarvix the Tubeinator. Tracy thought that Jarvix was a good name for a gerbil, so Jarvix it is. The stupid animal need a name. And Niles is the other. Already named, and gone to be invested.

I'm going up to Geneva again today. Looking forward to it.

The Women of Faith conference was pretty cool. It kinda lacked, though... there was too much humor and the stories were hardly related to its theme of Amazing Freedom. But what I did realize was that I need to get my priorities straight: In-Laws versus Weight. And I prayed that God can help me with my weight obsession... I was 119 this morning. As long as I'm below 120, I'll try to be happy. But 115 would be great, and 110 I would be flipping out with happy.

Clague Playhouse called me. Someone recommended me for a part. "Oh, Nightmare? My fiance just auditioned for that?""What's his name?" "Jeff ___""Oh... I don't think he's cast." So I said no, naturally. I refuse to plant a knife into Jeff's heart and then twist it. I called him and told him about it, but then later he called me back and really asked that I go and call them back and try to get into it. WOW. That's all I can say. But is this just the lithium he just took, or a big step forward? Hoping it's the latter and not the former. I might call them back. There's another play I want to be in, but the audition isn't until late July. Hmmm. I want to know more about the part.

I have church this morning, and a lot to get done. I'll try to write more often.

"God Is In Control"

Just had to share this: I love this song. It is God Is In Control by Twila Paris. Enjoy.

This is no time for fear
This is a time for faith and determination
Don't lose the vision here
Carried away by emotion
Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together

God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control, oh God is in control

History marches on
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh, but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever

He has never let you down
Why start to worry now?
He is still the Lord of all we see
And He is still the loving Father
Watching over you and me

watching over you...watching over me..
watching over every things..watching over you...
watching over me..every little sparrow..every little things...

Women of Faith

I've got work today. Hope it's busy--I need the $$. Yesterday was crazy busy, but I managed not to get stressed and just do one thing at a time. Made nearly an average of a 20% tip. :-) I ripped my apron, though... so I ran grovelling to Louise to ask if she could fix it. That's when it occured to me to ask if she could make a medieval tunic--and she can! So I'm covered for the Faire. I've already got the pants and boots. The rip in my apron was not coincidence at all. Thank God... he's always looking out for me.

I'm going to the Women of Faith conference tonight with my mom and Tracy (a co-worker/friend of mine). It should be awesome. What did they say, two thousand women? I'll get the actual facts next post.

I'm going to name the cream-and-white one Niles, I think, after the character from Frasier. Not sure yet.

Gotta run!
