Sometimes God Works In Mysterious Ways.. Figure Skating?!?!?!?!?!
So the night started out as an ordinary night. One where I got to talk to the Russians, get my skates on, and get ready to fall... well maybe just sometimes. Anyways while I got onto the ice I did my regular warm up plus pulled off about the normal 10 or so new moves. Eventually I watched a few of the people that actually can afford to pay for individual lessons hoping to pick up a new trick or 2 to try. After awhile a lot of the public skaters started coming and that's when the fun began. Some watch me and some of the other skaters from my club. A lot of them try to shy away from different things, but I always try to talk to them and see how I can help them. Random conversations facinate me and I love talking to people in general! You never truely know where somebody is at in life unless you open yourself up to them and meet them where they're at. Anyways as I talked to more and more people I noticed that some random girls kept staring at me. This was kind of wierd because I swear that I knew them but I had no idea. Eventually some of them came up to me and asked me if I could help them. As I was helping them they kept asking me about how to do different moves. One of them could even do a mohawk. They told me that they thought that they knew me and kept talking to me. So the whole time I kept thinking well maaaaaaaaaayyyy...be! After talking enough I found out that some of them were kids that I used to work with many years ago. About that time that I had left to go to the Urussian area. So as a result we mostly just talked and they were telling me about some of the ideas that they had and things that they remembered that I had taught them. They were actually using them and this excited me quite a lot! Currently they are doing outreaches which start new churches and bringing in young college students. Also some of them wanted me to see if I could help teach them a ton more. I'm deffinatly considering it. Though at the time when I was teaching many years ago I never really thought that kids that young would listen and put things into practice. So in the long run be careful what you say and think about what you do because it could turn into something beyond your wildest dreams. God always works in amazing ways!!!!
