<br />
<br />
I'm delighted to show you all some pictures that were taken at my studio's fifth anniversary party! The ten days leading up to the event were filled with ballet and contemporary classes for 3 hrs. each day. Quite a lot of fun was had during that week and a half! For the party I performed in three pieces. The first dance I was in was a trio that I had performed once before. I really loved dancing it the first time, so it was so wonderful to be able to do it again!! Also, my amazing friend choreographed it which made it ten times more fun to be a part of! I was so honored to be asked to perform it with her and one other close friend of ours! We performed to the song Elastic Heart by Sia. Very dramatic dance, to be sure. The second piece I danced was my own self choreographed solo to I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables. I also performed this piece once before in June! My final piece was actually more of an entire show on its own! It was a thirty minute long ballet class presentation choreographed by the wonderful Mr. Sobir! Great fun!! Please enjoy the following pictures, though they are unfortunately quite blurry.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
On this lovely August afternoon I'd like to share with you some of my fitness goals for the next couple months. As of late, I've been very inspired and determined to reach my fitness goals. I don't really have a specific weight I want to get to. I only want to see a noticeable change in my body. In the past couple years hormones have caused my body to gain weight :/ Before I was quite thin and built very well for ballet. Unfortunately, my weight gain could not be helped for a while. I suppose it just had to happen. Though I was exercising more excessively, taking many hours of ballet, modern, and pilates classes, and eating very healthfully, my body wouldn't cooperate. At the beginning of July (last month) , though, I realized I would have to try something entirely new. <br />
<br />
I decided to try a different kind of workout than I had ever done before. Right away I jumped into Kayla Itsines' BBG workouts!! She currently has two different 12-week programs out. I am nearly finished with BBG 1. Although it is technically supposed to be done in 12 weeks, I wanted to challenge my already strong (though not as thin as I'd like) body to finish earlier. My original plan was to get done in 6 weeks. That means I would have to do six of the workouts in the guide each week. I ended up not doing that much because of a couple family vacations. By the time I finish it will have taken me 8 weeks instead of my planned 6 weeks. Thankfully, I have already seen pretty big improvements in my shape!! I haven't weighed myself at all these past 8 weeks because I'm not as focused on the number on the scale as I am on a visible change.<br />
<br />
All of that being said, on to my goals for the next couple months!! So, to start off with, on the 31st of August (next Monday) I will start BBG 1 again. I really want to redo the Kayla Itsines' first guide so that I can really focus on my form, use heavier weights, and get the most out of the pretty expensive guide as I can! This time I believe I will be able to finish it in 6 weeks (hopefully mid October!). In addition to doing those workouts 6 days a week, I will also add in running 3 days a week, stationary bike 3 days a week, a bit of weight lifting at the gym 6 days a week, yoga 1-2 times every day, and all of my dance classes that I take and teach each week! I know it may seem like a bit much, but I know from experience that if I don't challenge myself enough, nothing will change. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now for my meal plan! Beginning August 31st I am going to do the U.S. Ski Team Diet. If you have never heard of it, I suggest you look it up!! Basically, it is a two week diet that is very high in protein, has almost no grains involved, and no dairy included. Don't worry! It is 100% safe and healthy, and from what I've read and heard, quite filling. After the two week diet, I plan on continuing to eat very strictly, but with a bit more flexibility in my meal plan than the diet allows. This just means adding in some dairy, maybe something sweet once a week, more variety, etc. <br />
<br />
<br />
I am considering taking before and after pictures for either the two week diet, or the 6 weeks of the BBG workout guide. Maybe I'll do so for both! If I do, I will definitely post them on here :) I hope you all have some great health and fitness goals for this fall!!! Good luck!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Today I want to write to you all as well as to myself. I need this reminder as much or more than the next person. I forget too often. Life appears to start spinning out of control, and instead of calling out to God, I let depression get the best of me. I fall into a deep dark pit of despair, and I stay there until I find a good enough reason to crawl back out. Unfortunately, with this kind of behavior one day I won't find the strength to get out. There is only one way to ensure my safe return to the light of a new day. Of course, if I asked God's help, I probably wouldn't find myself in the dark in the first place. I mean, no matter what, we'll all feel helpless at some point. It's inevitable. But that doesn't mean we don't have hope!! We can lighten our loads. Sometimes we're just too stubborn. So today, tomorrow, and every day after that, let's work on this!<br />
<br />
<br />
For about a year and a half I've carried an enormous weight. From time to time, God gives me moments of such happiness that my burden seems to have disappeared! But it's always come back. I believe there needs to be some huge change in my life before this pain leaves entirely. And so, I carry on. Through all of the nightmares, waking up crying, terrible thoughts that fill my head, and day to day tasks that remind me of my sorrow, I somehow carry on. Let it be known that my pain is not comparable to many others' pain. It's entirely different. I don't claim to have the worst life or the greatest reason for occasional depression. I only mean to explain why prayer is so necessary for me right now. But when this sadness leaves, there will be a million other reasons for prayer. There will always be another reason for me to pray. And there will always be another reason for you to pray. It makes no difference if you're not certain how to present your requests to the Lord. We have an intercessor to help!!<br />
<br />
<br />
"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."<br />
~ Romans 8:26<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't be afraid to start a thought and let the Spirit help you finish! God is more than aware of our imperfection and our inability to express everything we feel. I often forget this and end up skipping a prayer because I don't know how to explain how I feel to God. It can be intimidating going before the Almighty King not knowing what words to use. But that's not what God wants. He loves it when we need His help!<br />
<br />
<br />
I sometimes go for long periods of time without having a one on one with God. I won't pretend to be some saint that never fails to pour out their heart to the Lord. I fail all the time. I pass up opportunities to grow closer to my Lord on a daily basis. That doesn't mean I should stop trying, though! It only means I should try harder!! We can even pray for help remembering to spend time with our King. God will never leave us without help. He'll never say no to that request.<br />
<br />
<br />
"And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."<br />
~ Luke 11:9<br />
<br />
<br />
If there's a specific practice that helps you with prayer, by all means, use it!! Whether it's playing quiet hymns while praying (I enjoy listening to Nearer: A New Collection of Favorite Hymns), writing your prayer requests down on paper, using a study guide (I really love Shereadstruth.com), etc., use what you know helps! Maybe you should even try a new way if you need to get re-inspired. I encourage you to do whatever you can to "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17)!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dear Heavenly Father,<br />
<br />
Please help me to run to You not only when I feel like I need You, but also when in my human ignorance, I foolishly think I don't need Your guidance. I always do and I always will. Thank You for never giving up on me!Thank You for Your love and mercy! It's far more than I deserve! Please help me to remember to show my love for You by setting aside time every day to spend time with You and grow closer to You.<br />

<br />
<br />
In the pictures I'm sharing with you today, you will get a glimpse into what some of my ballet classes look like. A year ago my classes looked quite different because they were at a large ballet academy with beautiful studios, great teachers, and a live pianist. Though I learned a lot in that atmosphere, this past spring semester at a smaller studio afforded me unexpectedly awesome classes. The man you see in some of these photos is one of the best instructors I've ever had! He just so happened to be my stretching teacher at my old school before I came back to the smaller studio. When I came back to this studio I had no idea that Mr. Sobir would be teaching here this past semester! I am beyond grateful for him and his teaching. He's been a huge inspiration to me, and I cannot thank him enough for all of his critiques and encouragements!! My pictures show my last class with him around the end of June. Thankfully he will be teaching a 10 day summer course at my studio at the end of this month, so I'll get to attend more classes from him!! <br />

<br />
So sorry I've been gone for a while! The reason for my absence was a family vacation to Austria! We rented a huge house in an adorable village with our cousins, aunt and uncle, and grandparents. For about 6 six days we toured cathedrals, hiked beautiful mountain trails, got caught in a hail storm, visited many charming villages, and ate delicious eis (ice cream auf deutsch)!! Today I'll share a few of the pictures I have from our exciting trip. Hope you all enjoy them!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
As I'm sure you've guessed by the title, this post will be about my July 4th. My family had a swell day, and I certainly hope yours did as well! We don't have too many July 4th traditions in my household, but we do have a couple! Generally we have a typical American barbecue and go to see fireworks. Pretty much what almost all Americans do. Because we live in Germany we have to go on one of the military bases to see fireworks. This year they were spectacular!! The fireworks were so well coordinated with the music they played! It was quite impressive!<br />

Andrew and I decided to give our little doggie a bath in our backyard since she looked overheated. She looks terrified in the pictures, but I swear she appreciated her cold bath!! haha<br />

Unfortunately I did not get any pictures later that evening when we went to watch the fireworks. I thought it might be best if I enjoyed the moment rather than take photos the whole time. I hope you all were able to enjoy time with family on this special occasion!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
A week or so ago I decided to follow my family members around all day and take lots of pictures! I wanted to show you all what a typical summer day looks like for my family. Since my brothers and I home school (my sisters already finished high school) we do schoolwork throughout the summer. We do this because during the normal school year we often take days off for day trips and other such adventures. My family enjoys doing lots of different activities, which I'm sure you'll realize while looking through these pictures. Especially now that the summer weather has finally arrived, we like to be outdoors as much as possible! Unfortunately, the past couple days it's been so hot that we pretty much just stay inside. Yesterday it got up to 103 degrees here in Germany!!! That's a pretty big deal! It makes it quite difficult for anyone to stay cool though, because Germans don't use air conditioning! That's one thing that I miss about the States. Anyway, I hope you enjoy glimpsing through these pictures and learning a little bit more about me and my family.<br />
<br />
<br />
Side note: There aren't any pictures of me because I was the photographer all day :)<br />

<div>
While the past few days have been rather dreary here in Germany, I find myself perusing the internet looking for items that remind me that though you can't tell by the weather, it IS summer!!!! Feminine dresses, picnic supplies, and delightful music players are just a few of the things I desire this summer! Every day I just want to go strawberry picking all day and star gazing all night! Hopefully the weather will become more picnic friendly soon! Hopefully you guys will agree with me that these items are just the most darling things ever! </div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
I have an interesting and challenging topic I'd like to write about today. Lately there has been a lot of discussion about girl's modesty. Teenage girls in particular are making quite a big deal about dress codes as of late. As a young Christian woman this can be quite the confusing topic! Everyone has a different idea about what is appropriate for girls to wear. Should my skirt touch my knees? How high should my top be? Should I be allowed to show my stomach? These are just a few questions that many girls spend hours considering.<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course if we take a moment to look back at the past several hundred years we'll find that with each era people's ideas of modesty change. I mean, at one point it was scandalous to show your ankles!! Obviously then, there's no right answer. Again, if we take a look at some pictures even just from the past few years, we'll realize that with each culture, the standards are completely different!! How can we decide what is appropriate, then?! I think the answer to that question is a lot simpler than many think.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a personal decision that needs to be made. Pray about it. Read your Bible. If you ask for God's guidance He will help you. He has given us free will, but of course He wants to see us make wise decisions. We must consider the consequences before wearing those short shorts or that crop top. What good could come from me wearing this? Hmm..... This outfit makes me happy, you may tell yourself. But isn't that a wee bit self-centered? Now think about what bad could come from it. I don't know about other girls, but the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that boys will see me in this outfit. Now why is that a bad thing? Well, surely with a bit of thought any intelligent young lady can figure this one out. In my opinion, wearing very revealing outfits is immature. It will obviously tempt men to think inappropriate thoughts. Too many people say that this is the boy's fault. I disagree, at least for the most part.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When Eve was created, Adam fell in love with her. Not just because he wanted somebody to talk to and she was a good listener. Surely he was physically attracted to her. Anybody with a brain would agree with me! So, from the time the very first humans were created, men have been attracted to women. It's just how things go. When people say that boys staring at a girl who's walking around half naked is just disgusting and vulgar, they really need to stop and think about it for a moment. Yes, boys should be taught to control themselves. But shouldn't ladies do the right thing and try to make it a little easier for the guys? Honestly, how hard is it to find an outfit you like that doesn't show, well, everything?!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But there are other reasons for covering up a little more! I think girls (especially those around my age) assume that wearing less clothing makes you appear more sexy. True, you may have more guys looking you up and down, but that doesn't make you more attractive! At least not to the right kind of men. What gentleman wants his girlfriend walking around undressed? Surely he wants you all to himself! If you wear clothing that keeps a bit of mystery, you should undoubtedly stumble upon a truly honorable man one day!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Girls think too little about the long term consequences of their outfit decisions. At my age, I am already praying for the man I will marry in the future. I'd like to find somebody who loves me for my faith, my personality, etc. Yes, I'd like them to be attracted to me. But that doesn't mean they have to see so much of my skin. Wouldn't it be nice to find a man that loves your eyes, your hair, or your smile? That's physical attraction, too! So what's the point of showing everything to everyone with the hopes of having lots of guys like you for your body?! That's pure foolishness! Wouldn't you rather dress in a way that attracts the one man you'll be spending the rest of your life with? That's my opinion, anyway.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If nothing else, I hope you'll at least give a little more thought to the subject after reading this! And remember that there is no right answer! My answer is that I must dress as if I am standing before God. Would I be ashamed to wear the outfit I'm about to leave my house in before the King of Kings? Just a thought....<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd like to share some pictures from my performance with you guys! My performance was last <br />
Saturday, and I happen to have another performance next Saturday. I'll be dancing in a charity gala for the wounded warriors. I'm doing a pas de deux choreographed by my best friend! I will also be performing a piece from Sleeping Beauty. It's been so nice being able to perform so often! In the past couple months I've had about 7 different performances. <br />
<br />
<br />
To be honest, though, I really need a break! I've been going nonstop for months now with a leg injury. Thankfully at the end of July my family will be taking a week long vacation to Austria!! I'm so thrilled! We'll also be going to the North Sea for several days. Aw, how I love to travel!<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, I hope you like my recital pictures!<br />

<br />
Today I thought I'd share some of my rehearsal pictures with you all! My studio is performing a Broadway Showcase this Saturday, so we've been working really hard! I'll be in 7 dances in this recital. It's unlike any other performance I've been in because usually I only perform classical ballet. In this showcase I'll be performing classical ballet, contemporary, and jazz! I'm so terribly excited!! I hope you all enjoy these few pictures!<br />

<br />
<br />
It's a chilly May evening here in Germany so I thought tonight would be an excellent time to start up my new blog! I guess it'd only be appropriate for me to begin a blog by introducing myself. So, here goes!<br />
<br />
<br />
My name (as I'm sure you've guessed by now) is Emma Grace. At the end of this year I'll be 18 years old! I'm so excited!! Maybe a few of you are wondering what nationality I am since I am living in Germany, but writing in English. I happen to be an American who has lived here in Deutschland for nearly 5 years due to my dad's position working for the military. It's been so incredible being able to experience and embrace this interesting culture while living here!I've had the opportunity to visit so many different countries!! Some of my favorite countries thus far are: France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Those are just a few of the numerous places I've gotten to see! Isn't that just amazing?! I am so blessed!<br />
<br />
I have four swell siblings that are all very talented! My eldest sister (21) works in a small boutique on one of the nearby American military bases. She'll be going to Romania for the entire summer to intern at an orphanage! My other older sister (20) is currently attending a college in the states. Though right now she's studying abroad in England for a semester! Then there's me! I recently went to an amazing professional ballet school about an hour away from where I live. The last semester I was there I went to their university level, so I lived in my own apartment for several months! Right now I am a teacher and student at a smaller dance studio nearer to where I live. I'll continue going there until next fall (2016) when I go to college in the states! Or at least that's the plan right now. My 15 year old brother is an incredible soccer player on a German team. Germans are obsessed with soccer, so their teams tend to be really awesome and competitive. My youngest brother (12) is a junior black belt in karate. He goes to many competitions and almost always gets first place! He's a very diligent student!<br />
<br />
I can't forget about my parents! My father and mother are the most inspiring people I've had the privilege of meeting! They sacrifice so much for their children! They've always taught my siblings and me to keep our priorities straight. God always comes first!!<br />
<br />
I have many interests and hobbies other than ballet, though that is my favorite thing to do! Hopefully as my blog expands you will get a chance to get to know me a little bit better! And hopefully tomorrow with the start of the new month will come sunny weather for Germany!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
