.My husband and I are visiting some high school. We're watching cheerleaders practice and we're standing on the sidelines. They are in a line practicing a routine and I comment to my husband that they need to be sharper with their hands. There was great emphasis for me on their hands for some reason. In real life, cheerleaders don't use their hands this way. Other movements are to be sharp, but this was kind of a 'jazz hands' sort of thing they kept doing and I was demonstrating what I meant to them because they asked me what I thought. Then all of a sudden, I notice that there are MORE cheerleaders practicing the same with them. These are also in line but they are wearing matching pink jogging suits. I comment to my husband that the 'jogging suit' girls must be the junior varsity squad and the ones we saw at first are varsity. The JV squad's movements are even less sharp.
Next scene we are in a gym type setting on a mat watching a team practice fencing. They are in a circle, some have practice swords and they are poking them at one another harmlessly. Everyone was wearing colorful shorts and tshirts. Suddenly a girl walks into the middle of the circle and commanded everyone's attention immediately. She was explaining how they should fence. She was very much in charge and I assumed she was team captain or something. Very popular. She looked just like Catherine McPhee (on tv, not sure which show...used to be on American Idol years back), but for a minute in the middle of watching them, I thought she was our oldest son.
Next I'm in front of a computer and I'm viewing the students' (from this school) report cards online. The report cards do not show grades like usual but instead resemble pictures from a yearbook and weird comments as grades. Each student's picture is listed with what looks like multiple choice answers with bubbles. Each picture has one grade checked out of four and the 'grades' read different things. The Catherine McPhee/fencing girl's photo is first at the top and her choices of grades were: agreeable, excellent job, black power, moving on....with her checked bubble beside 'black power'. I thought that it was some kind of joke because her photo was now a video of her laughing and she wasn't even black. I was disappointed that my name and photo was not listed on there. EOD
Ok, I can see NOW that the black power american idol reference is negative, but I'm not sure how or where to apply this. Any spirit-led insight would be great! Not sure if this context fits, but we are about to relocate and our boys are changing schools. We'll be visiting a high school next week. Could fit literally that way, or could just be the setting God chose to tell me something unrelated. Thanks!
