Words before war..

If you haven't read the previous post, then i suggest you do. This is what continues..

PRIDE is the GREATEST enemy. Those words i've come to take seriously when I started serving in church ministry. I've been through it and yes, it feels good to have that sense of 'superiority'. But no more..
I know that i'm not mature enough. I know that i'm not the most understanding one. But I know what pride changes the reason a person dances for..

Any talent can evoke a sense of pride. Especially dancing, and it's vital that anyone with a talent for dancing also have a humble heart. It's been hard trying to cope with the desires our crew, and it's harder when words, promises we made start to wind up on a different path. We don't remember what was said. We don't understand how much it meant.

Like the post before, we made a deal and a plan to unite both xoxo and Silent Motion together if either one won. Now tell me.. if xoxo had won, wouldn't we be siding with them through the finals? and the other way round?
One of us didn't see that.

During the competition, it was a struggle for first and second place, as only the two positions would guarantee access to the finals. The first place winners will also be able to bring with them anyone they intend to. With what was planned, if either one of us won.. the winning crew would bring the other to the finals. A word most of us planned to keep..

In the end we won, and i was glad to have our crew take first place. All that mattered next was to bring xoxo with us, as agreed. But one of us forgot what was said from the start, chose to ignore a promise.. I couldn't believe what was said from that person. As if he was someone else.
At that point we all knew, pride had taken him.

But some of us knew that bringing the girls in and getting them involved with the finals was the right thing to do. Even though it was hard to get away from criticism. Please understand that it's not because I'm a 'ladies man'.. don't see me that way. But it's because of what we promised as a crew. And just because we won, doesn't give the rest of us the award to break what we said. They will still be with us. The effort ALL of you have made is kinda' beyond words. The way all of you pull through difficult times and when arguments and disagreements came, you girls sticked together. I wasn't blind cuz i was at the practices.. I believe all of you deserve this. I don't care if people think I'm stupid or sick.

xoxo, if your crew gets forgotten and taken out of this event, i will back myself out of this. Because by then dancing wouldn't mean as much as it did. the passion. the unity.
