2012 is about to finish, as we look back to it through these dances, Indeed God has done so much to our lives.
Thank You Lord for the year 2012. For all the experiences that we went through, it maybe joyful or painful, WE PRAISE YOU, for we know that ALL THINGS happened for our Good!
May you guide us and bless us more this coming year 2013.
Yesterday, I challenged the other dancers to make their own strokes before this year ends so we can have new strokes for this new year of 2013.. :)
It's nice to see them trying their best to make their own... well, i believe God has given us this talent in creating dance steps or making other tambourine strokes...it's just that, it seems that they are shy to show what they have and tend to rely only on what we taught to them.. :) true or false? :)))) or Trulse???hahahah
One thing i realized before this year ends, I need to replicate myself..:)) im not sure if that's the correct term but what I am trying to say is, I should not train them only on how to dance but also on how to share their talents in dancing to others, as well as, making dances for God. I keep thinking on this reality that there is nothing constant in this world except CHANGE. What if I'll be gone? That is only WHAT IF! lol..I'm not leaving this place or this country or this world yet...hahah...God didn't say to me to GO yet...so I have to stay. :))... but who knows when? right? Only God knows.
Does it mean that the dance team will be gone too if I'll be gone? The answer is a BIG NO! I believe God doesn't want that. We need to make disciples. That is even the great commission of Jesus to us. Akeselah Dance Team, i believe we can also apply this in the dance ministry that has been trusted to us.
So, to you guys in the team, take this as a challenge. You can do it! I believe God can use you too in making dances that could glorify to His name. That gift is there. You only need to open it. :) Won't you receive that gift? :))
Ask His wisdom and guidance in making it. That's the most important tip that i can give. You might not always see or hear me saying it loud, but deep inside my heart, i keep asking Him, "What's the next move God?" :) what's next?? what's next? is this right? is this ok? will You be glorified on this action? sort of like that..
Looking forward to the dances that we will be making together or the dances that you will be teaching to me and to the other members of the team on this YEAR 2013!
And to you, who ever you are, if you know that God is calling you for this kind of ministry in your church, as you face this year 2013, I challenge you to take a step for it. Nothing can compare to the joy that we can have in obeying His will into our lives. Use your talent for HIM. I believe God is calling us on this area. All we have to do is to be available to Him and allow Him to use us for HIS GLORY alone.
Now, all I can say is, I am HAPPY to what I have, and I am excited to what would be the things that He will gonna reveal to me on this year 2013! :)
So much for that...:)))
Well, welll, wel,, welllllllll......:))
Here are the videos that we have for the last Saturday and Sunday of 2012..:)
All of the strokes we made
Here are the authorssss???? :)) of the strokesss...lol (mmh..the Thai worship Team had their practice while we were busy making these...:)) so never mind if the music won't fit in our actions...:D

And here are Faith and Karisse...:)) Are you sure guys???? hahahahha
some other strokes;

After church and after eating our lunch, we tried to put all these strokes together to have a dance presentation which we might present on the first Sunday of 2013... i think so, yah we can present this on Sunday..:)) right girls??
Here's our video during our practice this afternoon... got some problem on the timing still and mastery for all the strokes..and i guess need some formations... we'll try to do this next Saturday in our next practice. We added some strokes here too from our past dances...just mix some of it here to fill up the other part which won't fit with our new strokes.
So here it is! :)) Using the song of Chris Tomlin "Our God"
Last December 9, we were invited to perform in the Christmas Party of "Baansilah" or The Rock. They cater street kids or those kids who didn't go to school. Every year, they give Christmas Party to these kids and so with the parents of these little ones.
I'm thankful to be part of this event every year since I came here in Thailand. Glad to teach dances also to these children.
This year, we taught them two dances. One was a tambourine dance with the song "Because of You I can Dance" and the other was, the some-kindah fast dance using the "Joy to the World" of Chris Tomlin.
Aside from the dances of these kiddos, we presented 4 dances on this event too. We did use the same dances that we had in the Christmas Party in the different communities that we visited which i mentioned in my previous posts. Mmmhh, except for the Desert Song.
So here are the videos that we had in this event...
Joy to the World (Prayer Song) again..:)
Joy to the World by Mariah Carey
Oops sorry we didn't have video for the dance "That's Me without You".. why..? coz we were in a hurry already when we performed this dance..coz ...coz...coz....the emcee called us already while we were still changing shirt! lol :))) That wasn't our turn yet to perform but the bands were not ready yet...lol.. so us again...i forgot to give my ipad to someone to take the video.. well, still fine though...:)))
But we had the video of the DESERT SONG (thai version).....in our very bright yellow green costume! :)) Shhhhhhhhh...i have a lot of mistakes there...grrhhhhh..i was so hungry already!!hahha
Glad to see other performers who came from the different churches too and also i was happy seeing again The Acts Teens from Malaysia led by Pastor Andy and his wife, Sister Jay- whom i met last year and had an opportunity to teach a Hand mime for the same kind of event (mmh yah, actually, they weren't the teens whom i taught the hand mime last year, they were another group of teens, but they came from the same church i guess.) They presented the "Set Me Free" and "Do not Touch" Human videos.
The event ended with gift giving to the kids as well as to the parents of these kids..
I am blessed to be part of this ministry!
Some pics!

Hello there! Supposedly, this blog was posted last Monday but got a problem in my videos in Youtube, i don't know why cant i post it in my blog even if it's there already.. but anyway i just found a solution to solve that problem after a week.:)) ...so here it is! LOL
Last Sunday, (December 16) we never presented a dance, instead we presented a Human Video entitled, TOMORROW.
I first saw this Human Video from the Master 's Commission Philippines when I was still in 2nd year high school...whooo that's quite long time ago ....really time flies so fast! I remember i cried while watching this presentation, and i felt that God was really talking straight to me at that time... I was so encouraged to offer my life more on HIM...and even now, when im watching this Human Video, i am still blessed on it, and i am reminded that i am just passing-by in this world, i dont know when my life ends... we cant say "God, I will only be available to you only TOMORROW coz im still busy right now". Who knows, maybe that "tomorrow" will be too late...
As the Bible says,
Proverbs 27:1 Do not boastabout tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
I pray that you will be blessed on this Human Video too and will be reminded also that we should dedicate our lives to Him not only tomorrow but NOW while there's still time!
Here's the video of it!
Some Pics taken last Sunday!
With our Pre-Christmas Costume..lol
My pose beside the post where we got our belt...lol...A closer look of that costume
Before the worship... :) with the guys who joined in the Human Video
Last Sunday afternoon, we had the Ordination Ceremony of our Pastor and so with the ordination for the elder, deacons, and deaconess in the church.
We were asked to present one dance. We presented the "Lord I offer my life" Dance but with Thai lyrics. It was just a short dance..i think this is the shortest dance we had ever presented, but it's still nice.. i love this song as well.
Here's the video of it in our red dress!
Some pics!
after the ceremony
an awkward pose...hahah
The ending part of the dance
With Pastor Simon and one of the Deacons of the church
Christmas Parties for the four different communities ended yesterday night.
We thank God for allowing us to be part of this endeavor. We thank Him for His wisdom, strength, guidance, provision and protection that He gave upon us.
Last Friday, after our work in school, we went straight to Banpru. The 3rd community that we visited. It wasn't that far from the church. When we were on our way, it rained hard, thanks be to God coz when we arrived there it did stop and it rained again when we were about to go home! :) The party went pretty good! Praise God! i love the games of the kids there....the blowing of the flour , the blowing of the balloons til it burst, the longest shout of merry christmas without breathing and the other merry christmas game! For sure, kids did have a great time last friday in Banpru.
Aside from the games, i guess the children and the adults who were there did enjoy our presentations as well..:))i think so...:)) lol.. let me show to you some of the videos of our dances there.
But wait....
Have i told you that we did have thesame presentations in all the communities that we visited? :)))
And don't forget we had thesame attire as well! Lol...that's still fine, only us in the group who found it out and you.....hahahha
So here we go....
ooppps the space wasn't big .....:)) but enough for sure for our performance...so sorry if the formations weren't emphasized! :)) we still enjoy the dancing!:)))
the opening salvo
That's Me Without You
We didn't have videos for the Prayer dance and the tambourine Today is the Day..:)
BUT...
We also presented the DO NOT TOUCH Human video again..and this time we made it sure that there will be a video so we can share it to you and for documentation purposes???? :)) mmh...sorry we were not complete here though, the other two didn't able to be with us this time...
Here's the video..

That's all in Banpru!
Yesterday, December 15, Saturday, :)))) at exactly 2pm, the group went to Ranod, the last community that we visited!
Weeeewwwwhhh, this time, we traveled farther than what we had in the other 3 communities. It was a 2-hour drive... Our drivers, Joseph & Pi Pat drove very fast compared to what they had in the other
communities ;)) ..lol..honestly,....i did pray secretly...hahah...well, I thank God for His protection... We arrived safely in the area and went back in the church with our bones intact! :))
We didnt have videos for the dances there in Ranod. No one could take videos coz we all danced ...everybody was busy..:)) but we presented another Human video there, entitled FOLLOW ME! and we have a video on this..here it is!
this human video reminded us that if we want to follow Christ, we should lay down everything to Him; our sins, our priorities, our worries, our desires, our everything! As the Bible says,
Matthew 6:24
King James Version (KJV)
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
It reminded us as well that if we love Christ, we ought to obey His Commandments.
John 14:15
New King James Version (NKJV)
15 “If you love Me, keepMy commandments.
Some pics to look at :))

This is my first post for this month of December. BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZy..:))) but HAPPPPPPY! yeh!
We had been to 2 communities last Saturday. We went to Namnoi and Banharn for Children's Christmas parties which were handled by the church. Gift giving to the kids in some villages here is annually done by the church during December; Sharing God's blessing....sharing God's love.... sharing the life of Jesus, the REASON for this SEASON!
am thankful for this opportunity to be part of this ministry.
The Dance Team, together with the other members of the church went straight to Namnoi at around 9 a.m. with a van and 2 pick up trucks bringing some goods for the kids on the said village which is about 30 minute-drive from the church.
Had a great time there.. we prepared 4 dances and one Human Video for this party!
1st, we had the Prayer Dance "Joy to the World" by Nicholas Jonas as our doxology.
Then, after a word of prayer, we had the dance "Joy to the World" by Mariah Carey as the opening salvo.
we also presented the "That's Me without You" of Toby Mac, then at the last part, as a sort of celebration, we had the tambourine dance again " Today is the Day".
Before presenting the word to the kiddos, the group presented the Human Video " Do Not Touch ". :) without practice..."IMPROMPTU"..:)) but it went well i guess..PRAISE THE LORD!
mmh sorry, we didn't able to take videos on all those performances that we had..lol..:)) no one remembered! everyone was just excited! including me.....lol..but some pics were taken..
The party ended at 12 noon i guess, then we went back to the church... got a mat and slept for about an hour???? then everybody got up looking for food to eat..hahaha....then we prepared ourselves for the next stop... At around 3pm, the group took a trip going to Banharn. One of the dancers said it's just 45 minute-drive going to this place...but i think that's farther than what we expect...lol...;)))
Again we had all the dances there that we had in the morning at Namnoi! We went back to church for almost 7pm with so much joy while recalling the smiling faces of the kids who heard the word and received some gifts.
How wonderful to share God's love to others! GLORY be unto the KING..... JESUS!
Some pics in Namnoi.... Dancing under the heat of the sun but with so much fun! :))

We arrived in the church last Saturday at about 7pm. And since it was our turn to lead the worship last Sunday we had still our practice before we went home.. Thank God for the strength that He gave upon us.
And here's the proof for the extra strength He gave to us....:)) Joy is still dancing even after the worship practice...:))) while we practice the song Beautiful Savior for the offering...:))))
Two more communities that we will be visiting on Friday night and Saturday Afternoon.. Looking forward to it!
