was blessed in. Not a lot of people in my family dance - they all play sports, sing or play some type of instrument, but I started to dance. Dancing and miming connects me with God on a different level than everything else. Even through the good times and bad, God has kept me and my gift strong. I love to encourage people in the Lord -- especially young people. Times are getting rough and we as young people need as much encourage and Jesus as we can get. Nothing is impossible for God."
