Rehearsals, emergencies, life!
Rehearsals are going so well it's almost scary. Whatever I throw at the cast, they take and run with it. They are working on speech patterns, motivation, trust, believability. Act I has had two run throughs. Next week, Act 2 brings in the fairies! Titania and Oberon spark up the stage. Amanda Harring is preparing to work with our dancers to add beautiful choreography. Special thanks to Becky and Jimmy LaFrage who are angels in disguise. Jimmy brought in a truck load of trees today for the set and will be bringing in pines later so the leaves will not die before production. He is also hauling in tree stumps and other flora and fauna for the set. EJ Ham is working on our set and I can't wait to see what he comes up with. Becky is tracking down everything from silver goblets to furniture set pieces. Her son, Sam, is designing our lights. Laura Horton is also a standout for help with goblets and anything else I am desparate for. We are busy making fairy wings and tutus in class and they are turning out beautifully.
How about emergencies? A break in the water pipes have left us with gaping holes in our family room ceiling. Garry's brother, Terry, came to visit Tuesday night and what a mess he stepped into. We thought for sure our dog, Bailey, was on his last leg. His heart complications, pancreas problems and other issues left him unable to eat for five days. He had two seizures and had to be hospitalized. He could not longer walk or even drink water. We were prepared to have him euthanized rather than see him suffer any longer. As I sat with him tonight, I prayed that God would take him from us so we didn't have to make the final decision or else miraculously help him get better. I felt compelled to get up and get him something to eat and he suddenly ate ravenously! He began to drink water and was even able to go to the bathroom. He started growling like he does when he gets irritated, which is a good sign! Then he licked me in the face and I knew we had him back, if only for a short time. Anne had been praying fervently as well throughout the day, so, for now, he is still with us. God's timing is perfect!
Life! Anne and Gene found a house! Gene is flying in tomorrow and they will leave on Sunday for their new life adventure. We, along with Paige and Piper, will drive out to Little Rock next friday to help them unpack after the movers arrive.
It's all a whrilwind of chaos, but God tells us in Isaiah that 'the flames will not consume'. I certainly take that literally as the flames of these challenges threaten to shake us inside and out. Without the grace, strength and mercy of our Lord, I would certainly collapse.

Reflections
I haven't had much time lately to reflect on anything...life is so hectic I sometimes can't think straight. There is so much tension and frustration at CHS...it's hard to keep things in perspective. Add that to a demanding rehearsal schedule and I just have to keep reminding myself that God is in control and will NOT allow me to be tried beyond what I can handle...not only handle, but do so with grace and victory. I have a dear friend, a mom of two students I have had the pleasure of either teaching or directing in a production, who prays for me on a regular basis. We share prayer requests back and forth. She may not know the impact she has on my life, but it is great, let me tell you. It is a privilege to share our faith and to pray for one another. I love her passionate descriptions of scripture she shares, her intense love for her family, and her willingness to care for others. At the end of the day, I get the greatest boost of all. I leave the house at 6:30 in the morning and pull up to the house around 6:45 at night. When I open the doors into the house, bone weary, I hear, "NONNA, NONNA!" and the tension just melts away. Having Anne and the boys here is a blessing beyond description. They keep my purpose in focus and give me my second wind of the day. Anne is being such a trooper now that Gene is already in Little Rock...it's so hard to be unsettled. The boys miss their daddy so much! Well, thanks be to God for His grace with me!

Transitions
In the midst of all the chaos relating to auditions and the crazy schedule that accompanies by default, we moved our daughter, her husband, and two children (soon to be three) out of their first home over the weekend. It was bittersweet, to say the least. Goodbye to Greenville, and hello to Little Rock, Arkansas. It will be quite a change for them and us; no more hour and a half runs up to Greenville to hug those grandbabies. We will bathe them in prayer and beseech our Father to prepare the way for all the changes and adjustments that come with moving away from family. I thought this was to be the weekend we physically moved them to Little Rock, but as it turns out, their home will not be ready until the last weekend in February. So the boys and Anne have moved in with us for the month. Tears are delayed and many happy memories will be made this month. Next weekend, for example, we are taking the boys, Anne and Gene, Paige and Piper to the Ringling Brothers circus. Trevor will be plugging away at school and unable to join us. Lots of furlough days in February will give us chances to go to the children's museum and lots of other adventures. Thank you, Lord, for knowing our needs before we ask and preparing us for this move.
