Isn't it fun to watch kids dance?! They dont care who's watching or what they look like...they hear music and just begin to move! They are silly and joyful...Psalms 30 says mourning can be turned into dancing. This past week we saw a horrific tragedy that took the lives of innocent people, most under the age of 7 years old. It has caused a sense of sadness and fear across the nation, but this week we have also seen society come together to support, pray for and love in big ways. And we've all heard about the heros that gave their lives to protect children. We've been reminded that evil is alive and real, but even at its greatest attempts it still hasn't gotten the best of us. Of course we still mourn in our hearts along with the rest of the country, but today for the kids..we danced!
We filled Inspired Fitness and danced for an hour and a half raising money to donate to the Newtown Memorial Fund. Everyone was encouraged to let go of insecurities and to just move..like a kid! We had an amazing time and we were blown away at the generosity that people showed, especially being right before Christmas and money is sometimes tight anyway. Young, "old", men, women, new to Zumba, Zumba professionals...all came out to support the families to Sandy Hook. Thank you so much to everyone who spent their Saturday morning with us.
Please continue to pray for the families in Newtown, and be extra grateful for your family this holiday season
