The Fall

choreographed by Austin Eckstrom.

danced to the song Trogdor by Cellofourte.

this dance took a lot of time and effort on the choreographer's part AND the dancers' part. but it was so worth it. the team really stepped up and worked so hard on this. they learned it and it turned out amazing. so did the masks...all painted by austin, emmanuil, and sam n. they did such an awesome job with them...

and all together it creates a cool picture of how easily we can get pulled into something looks so good and exciting at first...but then quickly gets out of control...and by the time we realize, it seems almost impossible to get out.

but what we don't always realize is that Jesus is always there. He never leaves...no matter how many times we push Him away. and He is the only one who can truly save us from the things that trap us and overwhelm us.

how amazing is that??? He knows how much we need Him, so He never leaves. He keeps loving us, keeps watching out for us...and all He wants is for us to turn to Him and love Him back...with everything in us. and how crazy is it to think that its even something we have to think about??? unconditional, perfect, holy love.......or the world that promises only to entertain us for the moment and nothing more. but we do struggle to surrender fully - myself completely included.

my prayer is that we can see all of it for what it really is and see that God is every bit as good and perfect as He says He is...and He is the only one who ever will be enough forever.

and in turn, learn to love Him the way He deserves...

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place—the Most High, who is my refuge— no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
Psalm 91:7-11
