Explanation


I'm an introvert. Being with people makes me tired, and I thrive when I'm by myself. By all measures, I'm just a highly socialized introvert, except in one way--I have to process things out loud, or by writing them out. Thus this blog has been created. Not for you, but for me. So that I can process and remember the things I learn in my stay in Washington D.C. this summer. But because this blog is online where you can see it, I'll offer some background information:

What I'm basically doing in D.C.: I'm taking an intensive at a respected studio for 4 weeks. This requires a lot of strength and endurance physically, but also emotionally and spiritually. I'm far away from home and dancing in a secular environment where my faith and morals are bound to be tested in some shape or form. 

Name of this site: 2timestimpi is my nerdy way of citing the verse in 2nd Timothy 3:14-15: "But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you. You have been taught the Holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus." 
    This is my "lifeverse" maybe not forever, but definitely for this summer. Paul basically sums up my challenge for this summer--remember what I believe and to not be shaken from it.

So there's just a little background information that may be helpful in giving some context of what I'm here to do. I'll post more about the day to day happenings of the intensive and how I'm growing and being challenged physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
