Skits

[callistahogan]

My sister came by today. It's a long story as to why, but on the whole, it was a great visit. My sister's baby, Sapphire, was so adorable—when she looked at me when they first came in, she smiled and giggled at me. It was so cute.

Other than that, she also showed me this skit. Apparently, our youth group is going to put it on at the end of November or the beginning of December, and guess what? I'm going to be the main female role! I am so excited, I can hardly stand it.

Normally, I am too shy to do main roles like that, but that skit just spoke to me. The way the girl was made by Christ, was brought up by his teachings, then was drawn away from him by the world out there, further and further until she didn't know if she could come back, and then when the song swelled and she ran back to him and the world pulled her down and Jesus came to her rescue and protected her and things all turned out right and she went back to him...

That is me.

I mean, I obviously don't do drugs or things like that, but the struggle, the wavering between "good" and "evil," is just something I relate to so much. During that skit, I almost cry. During the performance, I will surely cry.  It affects me that much.

It's such a powerful skit, and I am so glad I'm going to do it. I'll need to practice a lot, but I can do it. And who knows, maybe I'll be able to bring my (unsaved) friends as well!

I am so excited for this. I can't wait to start practicing.

Oh, I am *so* happy for you! My youth group practiced it and performed it in Mexico, the leaders reported back that no matter how many times they did it, people in the audience broke down crying. And it's *so* much more powerful without words, because sometimes words aren't needed-and I'm seriously sitting here squealing and giggling and just *oh* this is so wonderful! You'll do wonderfully, it's really not that hard of a part to learn - in ours, Charlie was Jesus, and my friend Ericka was the girl. Just *oh*, I'll keep you in my prayers, and I just *know* you're going to touch someone deeply.

Loveyousomuch.
