Cupcakes and S-bux Frapps
Hey everyone... forgive this terrible photo taken on my phone... but check it out:
That is the back of Joyce's car jam-packed with gifts of encouragement and love in the form of fall beverage packets, Sbux Frappuchinos, and tasty cupcakes!
100-some gift bags were given to dancers throughout the valley last night and we had a blast doing it! It's so fun to give a gift and smile to someone who doesn't expect it. If you were one of the dancers we met last night, you are loved! We hope the gift brightened up your night even just a little bit. Feel free to contact us anytime if you feel lonely or just want to talk!

Alone
This beautifully written poem was written by a young woman named Dawn who has recently come to know God and is searching for answers as she faces her struggles.
ALONE
I stand in a crowded room but feel so alone
The music is blaring but I just feel the tone
I strut around the stage to catch someone’s eye
but when he comes to the stage inside a part of me dies.
It’s like a pick and I'm being chiseled away,
but if I don’t do it, the rent won’t be paid.
I dance for him for a dollar or two, but when
I'm done I think, what did I just do?
I climb the pole to the top, I lay back, close my eyes
and think to myself, God, this has to stop!
When I am done I go around for my tips, but it’s so hard
to force the words to come out of my lips.
When I’m done I go on my way, I go to the dressing room
and with Lila I pray.
"God take this crooked path and make it straight.
I know you have a plan for me and Lord God I know it’s great!
I hate what I'm doing with all of my heart
but when I can’t do for my kids it tears me apart!
Lord please give me some direction, make my life complete
even if you can only talk to me while I'm asleep.
I need you Lord God I can’t do this alone.
Please come to me, my life, my heart, and my home.
I need you Lord God, so bad its true.
I’m sick of feeling alone when I know
all I need is you!”
