On The Road Again

Well, ok. I'm not on the road, but Ministry Team is getting ready to head out to the Spring part of the tour, and once again it is a bitter sweet moment. I am so excited for what the Lord is going to do in all of the cities, and yet, two of my best friends are leaving and I will not be seeing them for extended periods of time.
Now, it seems fit that after about a month, I fill you in on what's going on here (outside of Ministry Team leaving)
My Christmas break was good, though I didn't see any snow, and it's not looking promising for this year. I guess I can't complain too much when I'm getting to enjoy 70 degree weather in January, but an odd part of me misses the cold. Life in School of Worship is back in full swing. We played for Gauntlet and now our schedule is calming back down to its typical pace. I have a new roommate this semester, and there are 11 women living in my house. It's interesting... to say the least.
I seem to be in a random-jump-around sort of mood today. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from a "photo shoot" my Family Core from last year did, right before we went on Christmas break.

Standing by the recently re-filled fountain on campus

Yes... we are in the middle of a busy road... no, we probably didn't think it all the way through. :)

It brings joy to my heart to know that the memories I am making with the people I am surrounded by are the things I will want to tell my children about, not only because of the Godly people involved in them, but because these are the sweet memories that define the simple joys of my life now.

I'm hoping to update a post soon that has a link to the music I've been writing recently as part of my School of Worship experience. So keep an eye out.

But until then, wrestle with the Lord, and if you come out the other side with a limp... count it a blessing.

I'll be home for Christmas

What an exciting time. I am on break and home for the holidays. I have only been home for a little over a day and already I am reminded of what I miss about home so much.... no... there's no snow on the ground right now, but I'm sure there will be before Christmas comes. What I'm talking about is more than that, the family, the friends, the laughs and memories you create when you are around those you love. That is what I miss about home. Not to take away from the memories I create at school, they are just as important and precious to me, but once memories are created with someone, there is always that longing to create more. So, rather than sit here and write about it more, I think I'm going to go make some memories.

It's been a long time

WOW! Life has been crazy. I don't think I've posted since before Thanksgiving break. I'm no longer in two bands... for the time being. We'll see how things go. If there's one thing I have learned about bands is that I have to be flexible. I'm grateful to only be in one band right now as we prepare for Gauntlet, having to play in two bands during that time would be a lot. Work is less crazy now that classes are over for the semester, which is good. We've got just enough time to reset and make sure everything is working before the new Januaries come in after break. The life of Production Team members is quite busy during Gauntlet.
Ministry Team is back on campus, which means my family from last year has had a chance to reunite. It has been so good to see them and catch up. They are a group of people that we can not see each other for months, and pick up right where we left off.
I've recorded a couple of songs in the studio now, I'm really excited about finally getting one done that I've been working on for a long time. I've got to mention here, that I could not have made this recording without the help of two of my roommates from last year - so THANKS A TON (you know who you are)!
I'm so looking forward to going home for Christmas. I didn't get to see a bunch of people at Thanksgiving time, like I had hoped, so looking forward to seeing them.
I've been going through a lot of life changes recently. The Lord is calling out a lot of stuff in life, that to some, may be insignificant, but to Him, and to me - if I want to live completely sold out to Him, it means a lot more. I'm learning a lot about obedience in the small things.
I'd better get back to something important looking. :)

Fasting LTE

This weekend was the fasting LTE for the interns. As I said in my previous post my band played for their worship sets. It went really well overall. I learned a lot. It was right back into the swing of things today and I am feeling it a little. I know I'm not going to have time for a nap, but I  know I will make it. I'm excited to be going home soon for Thanksgiving break. I know it will be short but at least it's something. I also have a fairly low key weekend next weekend, which will be the first one in a while.
There's actually not a lot of "out of schedule" things going in the near future which is exciting.
Had some of my friends take me out for my birthday which was really fun. We had a great time.

Something New?

Don't Worry, there's nothing old or blue about this video. Just thought I'd try something a little different.

It's time for our donation records to be charged again. I need $650 every month to stay here. If you can do anything to help it would be greatly appreciated. Contact me by leaving a comment to find out how to donate by check or go to www.honoracademy.com/donate to donate online. My ID # is 2288042

LONG, Interesting week

So, I just got back to Texas from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I had the amazing opportunity to drive with the SOW band on the way to Canada. I then worked SWAT/Support and came back to campus. So many things happened it was awesome. I left last Tuesday and just got back at about noon today. I got to see a lot of people that I know from Ministry Team, but it was short, and busy. The Lord is doing a lot in my life right now, and this weekend was a very clear example of what He's doing. It's time for class now so has to be short. Hopefully after some sleep I'll be more coherent and will write more.
