Emily's Spring Dance Recital and our mission

I could not be more proud of this girl. Her confidence has grown leaps and bounds as she has taken dance class from Miss Julie this year. She has always been quite shy, so it's neat to see her light up on stage. Something else that has helped Emily build confidence this year is that Wade and I ask her every day, "Who are you"? She replies, "I'm a beautiful, creative, dancing girl...daughter of God...born to be a Queen." When we ask Jonny the same question, he tells us, "I'm a handsome, courageous, energetic boy...son of God...born to be a King." And they don't just mumble it. They say it loud and clear, with the biggest smiles on their faces because they BELIEVE it! It's awesome.

Wade and I have a vision to help children discover and develop their personal gifts. We are going to travel around the country, educating and encouraging parents with tools they can use to empower their children and help them see how special they truly are. So many problems in our world today are because children grow to be teenagers and later adults with depression and insecurity. They just don't believe in themselves or know who they really are. This needs to change, and it starts in the home. It starts small. It starts with parents being teachers and examples. I know you know this already. We're excited to share this message with parents who don't know, who aren't sure how to empower their children. It will be an amazing experience for sure.
