🦁✨ Helderberg Eisteddfod 2026 ✨🦁

Yesterday, five of God's lionesses took to the stage at the Helderberg Eisteddfod, and my heart is so full. The joy they carried both on and off the stage made my spirit leap!

These girls don't just dance—they dance because they love to worship. They have taken the gift God has placed inside of them and stewarded it so beautifully. From our youngest lioness at just 5 to our oldest (12), each one carried something so special. Your light shone brightly, and I couldn't be more proud to be your teacher.

Our Results:
🏆 Cum Laude (90–100%)

Girls, well done! I am so incredibly proud of each one of you. Thank you for dancing with joy, worshipping with your whole hearts. Keep shining your light and using your gifts to bring glory to God. The best is still to come! 🤍🦁✨

✨ Last night was something truly special. ✨

We had the privilege of blessing, anointing, and praying over these beautiful girls as they step into an exciting new season.
Watching them grow has filled my heart with so much joy. They are not only becoming incredible dancers but also shining as bold light-bearers for God's Kingdom. What a privilege it is to witness.

Girls, may this season be filled with joy, joy, joy! May the Lord go before you, surround you with His presence, and cause your cups to overflow with His goodness and grace.

Go and shine. We are so incredibly proud of you. 🤍✨

So excited 2 more weeks to go 🥳

Watching the girls put them on with such pride reminded me why I do what I do.This is only the beginning, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us. 🌟Wear it with pride, girls. You are part of something special. ✨🩰💙

This is More than just a jacket, it represents every class attended, every challenge overcome, every performance, every friendship, and every step of faith along the journey. ✨The vibrant colours reflect the creativity, passion, and joy that make our studio so special, while the scripture from Isaiah 62:10-12 reminds us of our calling to "prepare the way and build."

Word of the Week 🍷✨
New Wine & New Wineskins

This week the Lord has placed a deep word on my heart from Luke 5:36–39.
Jesus teaches that new wine cannot be poured into old wineskins, because the pressure of the new will burst the old. Instead, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.

Sometimes we pray for new things — new growth, new opportunities, new anointing, new seasons.But when God begins to pour out the new wine, we often try to carry it with the old wineskin.The old wineskin can be many things:old mindsets, old patterns, old comfort zones, and sometimes even old relationships and friendships.

One of the hardest things in life is letting go of what is familiar. Sometimes God moves us into a new season where certain people, places, or things simply cannot move with us.That doesn’t mean it isn’t painful.It doesn’t mean it doesn’t cut deep.But obedience to God sometimes means trusting what He is doing now more than holding onto what used to be.And it is no coincidence that this word is coming at the start of a new month.God is reminding us that new seasons require new wineskins.

This week the Lord spoke clearly to my heart:
✨ “I am doing something new. But to keep receiving it, you cannot go back to the old.” The new wine He is pouring requires a new wineskin.
So this week we release the old, trust the process, and step into the new season God is preparing.

Because when the wineskin is ready…
the new wine will flow.
