She Danced Before Kings

The joy her mother felt holding her for the first time she prayed for a girl to love unconditionally passed onto her knowledge and wisdom She danced in front of her family he was her king in her shy world dancing always put a smile on her face the room became her court her dad was well, please She said " I'm going to grow up and dance in front royalty, daddy" "sure you will," he says, as he smiles A little girl with many hopes visions on display in her mind she continues dancing growing while learning Then tragedy comes to her life's end people think that only evil wins when it comes to death because we can only perceive on this side of the realm This little girl who believed she would dance before conquers and rival noblemen Believed so much in herself her confidence on display with each and every performance many can't see the spirit that holds on to us, deeply yet, she did. Clothed in a glowing gown of oleander white she enters the courtroom of the highest God great Jehovah on his golden throne king of Israel seated on his right side Heaven is now her stage this is the moment she has waited patiently for A young girl filled with passion she danced so beautifully all of the heavens rejoices God himself is forever pleased by her presence She danced before kings Haruka Weiser was a high-spirited young woman who had danced in her soul. The 18-year-old from Portland, a freshman at the University of Texas-Austin, was killed earlier this week on campus. “Haruka was a very talented, high-spirited, lovely young woman and certainly was a treasured member of our school community,” © 11 days ago, Jerry L.
