My mom and I looked through our phone book trying to find some sort of activity for me to do because of this ongoing boredom.
Well, we found a phone number. We called it, (obviously we knew what the number was for!!) and signed up for class.
Well, two years, 18 classes and $400 later, I was skating my way to a future.
Actually, I don't know if it is in my future.
That was nearly 5 years ago.
And I really miss it.
Ice skating had become part of my life.
Why did I quit? Well, I wouldn't really call it quitting. Just breaking. It had become time consuming, expensive and hard to keep up with along with our schedule.
See, I was going to school about 30 minutes away from where we lived, and my mom worked next to my school. The ice skating rink was 5 min away from school and work, so we would go there after. But then later on, I attended school and she worked right near my house, so the rink was totally out of the question & too far away.
But I still have my skates sitting on my dresser.
And they fit!! After 5 years!
Anyway, this ramble of a post is to say that I still hold the dream I've had all those wonderful years on the ice. I became very good at balance, and I learned a lot of neat tricks.
And I really am praying about this dream.
Anywho, I just wanted to inform the readers of this blog that I'm holdin on.
If this is God's will, I will skate for Him and not just myself.
Thanks for readin!

Ice Skating.. Quite enjoyable. I've done it once I think. I was ok. No where near the ability to skate well. But I kinda looked like I had at least done it before. It's a good dream. I can imagine skating being enjoyable. Almost like dance. Especially with music.
Darn it.. Now I want to go skating.
I completely understand you Amber. I started teaching myself ballet in 2nd grade and now I am doing it again. Lol. I hope you do keep it up because ice skating is fun (when you don't fall on your butt). Good luck!

I will be praying for you and your decision. I can assure you one thing, I know this from experience, IF you TRUST in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your OWN understanding, and if in all of your ways you acknowledge Him, He WILL make your paths straight! It's something you can count on :)
Blessings,
