my hat

way
   over
               the
         fence.

and it ain't coming back.

you know how
i've always
written
ranted
about
"Christian" theatre?

i decided to do something about it.
and i did.

today,
i,
a second semester junior,
CHANGED MY MAJOR

in the old major,
i felt prepared to teach speech.
great, 'cause i was studying
speech education.

but.
i did not feel prepared
to
write
for
theatre.

and it occurred to me.
here i was/am
at a place with so much talent.
would it be right
to
leave.
and never learn from that talent?
to never
prepare
study
learn
grow
into this thing that
i have been called to do?

i concluded
that i had no option.
but to change.
to use the time i would have
spent student teaching,
learning
the art of writing for theatre.

let the work begin.
and the prayers, too.
(please).

I will pray.
"grace and peace be yours
in abundance through the
knowledge of God
and of Jesus our Lord."

(2 peter 1.2)

That's a huge decision, Steph.
And I think it's fantastic.

Rest assured that you're being prayed for.

Wow....big step. Will try to remember to pray for you.

One other note (almost hate to say it): I like your weblog design....but it's hard for me to read (strains my eyes). I'd recommend a bit more contrast between the background color and the color of your text.

Just my two cents....
