Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.  Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.  Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.  Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.   Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.  Psalm 150:  1-6

Yesterday was Courtney’s dance recital!  I was so blessed watching her up there on that stage!  Yes, again, I am prejudice.  Her ballet dance was to Chris Tomlin’s Amazing Grace.  It was truly breathtaking.  What an awesome choice of songs!  For me, that dance was a beautiful interpretation of God’s grace!

Her tap and jazz dances were to Funk Soul Brother and Flip, Flop and Fly.  They were GREAT, too!

Watching all of the little munchkins dance in monkey costumes, frog costumes, etc., CRACKED ME UP!  It reminded me of when Cammie and Courtney took dance when they were that small.  Sophie enjoyed it for the most part.  But “POTTY, POTTY” every two seconds was NOT fun! 

I just have to mention that Courtney’s uncle danced with his daughter (her cousin) to Greased Lightnin’.  It was sooo cute having those dads come out there with white t-shirts, jeans and black boots.  But he stole the show!  He and his daughter were the last two off the stage after the dance and he just had to pop his head back in and wave again!  TOOO CUTE!

But Courtney was MY STAR! 😉

Here she is….shining:
