Please keep Jim Sanders in prayer. Today is his second surgery at 12:30 to remove the cancer. We believe in God’s grace and healing power and we are confident in the medical team over him.

Please Welcome Celeste Boullion to CAST & Crowns Performing Arts Center she has been dancing professionally as a ballerina. She is also a singer and has done live musical theatre.

Open House was Wonderful today at CAST & Crowns Performing Arts Center.
There is no way it could have gone any better. We are so excited to Welcome our new students and see those returning again.
A huge huge THANK YOU to these Ladies for helping make today a Success.

Try a free homeschool class.

So thankful to be okay! I was in a car wreck at 4:45pm. My car is totaled and my drivers side air bag deployed. Passenger car door won’t open and my car was towed to Ft Campbell Blvd.
I am still shook up and soar.
But I am so grateful to God for protecting me with his angels. Marcie Parker was there in 5 minutes as she was on her way home and comes the direction I was in. God Nod #1 he had her right there to hug me and pray with me, and then Jason Parker was there right after.

God Nod #2
Interestingly enough 20 to 25 minutes before my wreck I had just read this fb post from ProphetessDr Abigail Orusa
I truly feel that post was there for me. I call these little miracles “God Nods” and I know that I am okay because The Lord is on my side.

God Nod #3 that my husband
Jim Sanders
is well enough and healed up enough to drive to be there with me and pick me up.
If his surgery had been in June and not May he would not be driving. His second surgery is late August or September.

God Nod #4 the other two cats people are okay too!
We all have struggles and rough days, I encourage you to keep Pray and Praising in the dark storms.

Borrowing from Jodie Yarbrough Wilkinson I had a lot of steps today🩰😃
Honestly, I am just in awe of how great the shows were. Our Sleeping Beauty Ballet to start us off with Show A and then Show B was electrifying.
But more than anything, to know that we made it to the stage with all that’s been going on in our home since Jim Sanders got sick was a miracle. To everyone that helped make these shows happen, “Thank You.” I am beyond proud of the children and thank you famil s and friends for all the support and prayers.
My heart is beyond full ❤️I am exhausted. Good night.
Love, Christy

Jim Sanders update. He is still in the hospital at Vanderbilt. We are not sure when he gets to come home. He will have a second surgery in three months to remove the cancer and cysts in his intestine. They have already removed his gall bladder and taken care of the infection in his liver. He was really sick, but The Lord is not done with him and has plans on this earth for him still. Your prayers have truly been heard in heaven. Please keep praying as we have a journey ahead of us.
Love, Christy Sanders

Who is READY to Sizzle & Sweat?
Join Us Starting Tuesday May 14th. Come One-Come All, it’s going to be a blast.

So glad to see these littles tonight.

What a beautiful gift from the CAST parents and dancers to let me know I was in their thoughts and prayers. These past 10 days have been a whirlwind with Jim Sanders in St Thomas hospital. He got home today around 3pm. We are waiting on his biopsy and results. We still have no clue what’s going on with him. Thank you everyone that’s been praying for him, please continue as he is weak.
I also, got a huge surprise having a former student return to CAST & Crowns Performing Arts Center
Jireh Livingston is a student that I have been private coaching for a while. But today she came full on classes. See her from when she was little to now. She is a senior and we’ll be attending Palm Beach Atlantic college next year as a freshman majoring in dance. 
God is so gracious and loving. He knows our hearts and needs, smiles and tears of joy today. I am so blessed. I even saw the amazingly picturesque sunset outside the studio.
