Hi! I'm Elissa! I was one of the youths dancing for Christmas. Behind the scenes, there's an amazing story made possible by the one and only God Himself.

I went for every dance practice except for the first one and my dad allowed me to go. But on 23rd December, the day before the performance, my family had some problems, and my dad was in a bad mood. He told us not to go on the 24th for some reason. I was troubled but carried on with the children's party on that day. Later that day, my sis returned home and I was at informatics for dance practice. I called home and asked her what my dad said. She told me that my dad said that I shouldn't have gone for dance practice since I was not dancing on 24th December anymore. I Hung up and started crying. I thought about how unfair it was, because I had gone for all the dance practice, everything was arranged and now he won't let me dance. I told Arlene and Gladys what happened and Arlene prayed for me. Later on, Arlene told the dance team what had happened and they prayed for me too. I was greatly encouraged by everyone.

When I reached home, my dad was out watching soccer so I didn't have the chance to speak to him. I woke up super early and prayed. My dad was still sleeping and the conversation went like this:

Me (whisper): Dad, can I go for dance today?
Dad (Just woke up): Huh?
Me: Can I go for dance?
Dad: ok...ok.. (back to sleep)

You can't imagine how happy and excited I was. I really thank God for making this possible. Through this, He has shown me He works in my life and He is all powerful!!! May God continue to bless all of us in the years to come. Glory to God in the highest forever!
