This show holds a special place in my heart because ever since I can remember it has always been my favorite for many reasons. Doing this show has only deepened my love for the message in the show. In many ways I feel like we are similar to the Beast, and Christ is like Belle. Christ sees past our ugliness, and imperfections. He sees the beauty that is within us, and calls us His own. We are children of the one true King. I hope that any person who sees this show realizes their worth, and just how special they are in the eyes of Christ. He sees the beauty that is in each of us, and if we take that and treat others the same way, what a beautiful world this could be!
To my Seniors- I have watched most of you grow and blossom into the amazing, young adults that you are from a very young age. This show is so bittersweet. Watching each of you step out of your comfort zones, and push yourselves has been so rewarding. I simply cannot put into words how proud I am of each of you. I hope you know you all will always hold such a special place in my heart.
Kelsey(Grace)-Grace could not be more fitting for your middle name. You take each phase of life with so much maturity and grace. The greatest au pair in the world, the most beautiful voice, and the best style. God has so much planned for your life, and I cannot wait to watch what He does in and through your life!
Jared(Enthusiasm)- A heart of gold. You have grown into one of the greatest young men that I know, and everyone that meets you agrees. You have the greatest enthusiasm for life. Never lose that child-like love for everything and everyone!
Destiny(Confidence)-You have stepped out of your comfort zone, and taken each new challenge in stride. Keep pushing yourself, and never forget your worth!
Roach(Fierce)-“Though she be but little, she is fierce” perfectly describes you. I love your attitude to try new roles. I have seen how you have grown as an actress, and how other little ones watch you and want to do the things you do. I pray that you take your influence and ferocity to lead others towards Christ!
Kayden(Determination)-You are such a joy to teach. You take each critique and enhance every role you play, but always come in with your own special additions to each character. You truly make each role come to life, and that is so fun to watch!
Cole(Character)-You tackle each task with so much precision, and I have absolutely love seeing you go from being a stage hand to being one of my leads in each show! I know you will carry that precision into each stage of your life!
Natalie(Joy)-You have such a kind, sweet spirit. You are a calming presence to our group, and we are so thankful for what you add to each show and the community we have made!
Alana(Teamplayer)-You have have always been a teamplayer with each show. You have jumped into various roles, and tackled them beautifully. I love that you are willing to be a helping hand when needed. Always keep willing heart to serve others and be a helping hand!
To Stevie and Granny- You have both worked so hard and handled every task I have thrown at you with grace, patience, and love. You will never know how grateful I am for each of you for your time. The best part is how our relationships have grown from these shows. We sew, we pray together, we encourage each other, and it is the sweetest memories that cannot be replaced.
