wow, things seem so crazy...i feel like i haven't had a spare second at home! Even my day off (yesterday) was packed full of entertainment and craziness!
yes rabenstrange, it sounds as if your team didn't quite make the cut! :-D sorry pal...there's always next year!!!
ok, the signing on sunday went wonderful! we successfully completed our entire 8 songs - and even performed redeemer again, at their request! the church was so warm and exciting to worship in! they seemed to get so much from it!
ok, to answer exactly what we do...about 5 years ago, i had been begging mom to let me take sign language classes. finally, she gave in and took us to a church class about an hour away once a week! a little while later, i was begging for them to make a bigger investment - a complete sign language dictionary cost $60 bucks! i was so into the sign language, they got it for my birthday. before long, t and i joined a dance team at our church and they incorporated a few signs into the dance, and since i had been working with sign language they asked me to help with a few signs and choreographing some new dances. about 2 months later, the praise team asked me to become a part of the band and do interpretive sign full time. needless to say, i really enjoyed this!
as of now, God has led us to other places and unfortunately away from this church and the dance team. however, He has put it in our hearts to reach others - to start our own group and go to different churches, different events praising him! t and i had gotten this started with a few songs and were already having booking requests. back in september, i started working with another young girl (savannah), who's the daughter of stacey - a girl who can really sing! by the time december came, stacey had told me she was ready to get some things on the road and to begin traveling to different churches. this was a definite answer! we thought and prayed and came up with the name praise in motion for the group, which has also added a male singer!
t and i use sign language as a base for our "visual" worship. it's so expressive, so beautiful. we work with stacey and josh to get songs they can sing and there are still a few we do on track. we also have the girls who bring such a sweet, pure worship before the Lord!
i hope that helps to explain what we do in our ministry! if there's any questions, please feel free to ask! :-)

I always thought it would be cool to learn sign language. What a great way to use your gifts unto God. May the Lord bless you much in this ministry to Him, and unto His people.
Soli Deo Gloria
Excuse me! My team made the cut. If you discount the crushing effect the refs had on Seahawk morale and merely reverse the bad calls we would have been just fine. *grin*
I'm actually not a football fan. Actually, I generally dislike sports. I'm the kind of person who asked, "So how far do they have to go for a first down anyway?"
