Summary of my week at Shine: Its taken me almost a week to write this summary; probably because it is near impossible to summarize my experience at Shine in one entry. I will, however, do my best! My journey to Shine began with a calling; a tugging at my heart. I felt like God was telling me that He had given me certain gifts and talents, and that I was expected to use them for His glory...in a grander way. Yes, I help lead worship at my church very frequently, but that is my comfort zone where I know I am supported. I felt that God was telling me to step out in faith and trust Him. So, I heard a commercial on the radio about AMTC. We had friends that had been on this journey, and I just knew that this was the path I was being led to. I auditioned, got a callback, and began my journey to Shine. I was privileged enough to work with amazing acting, modeling, and vocal coaches throughout this process. Every event was bathed in prayer, and I always felt supported by those around me. Coming to Shine, I felt prepared for whatever God had in store for me...for us. What I experienced was beyond what I could have imagined. Hugs, smiles, congratulations, prayer circles before showcases, new friendships, amazing performance opportunities, supportive friends and families...God centered people and entertainment. I didnt even know this was possible! It was mind blowing and so exciting all at the same time! Do I know the exact reason why God sent me on this journey? No. It could have been simply to be an encouragement to someone else while I was in Orlando. It could have been to meet some amazing new friends that will forever be a part of my family. Yes, I was happy and excited about my four callbacks. They all said they would be in touch. But that does not define this experience. Gods plans are usually way beyond what I can plan. So for now, I wait....and thank Him for giving me this opportunity. Thank you so much to all of you that have supported me financially or in prayer along this journey. It has meant so much to have your support. I know that in time, it will be clear just why He sent me. But for now, I will just Be still and know that He is God.
