I'm giving the new Lil Wayne album, Tha Carter IV, a try. So far it's alright. It's what I would expect out of a Wayne release (some good, some bad, some awful, but slightly enjoyable nonetheless). Also, Netflix is down so the houses addiction to Prison Break is not being met, which is not going over well with the roommates or I.
We had our first home group tonight at Bryon & Christina's house. It was pretty rad. I really enjoyed hearing Byron open up a little bit. He really showed what was on his heart in terms of ministry. Honestly, the biggest way God has been talking to me is through other people's honesty. All the things I've thought I didn't like about my spiritual gifts I'm starting to realize are good things. I talked earlier about Ryan Adam's admission of not being very into evangelizing, which spoke to me. Byron, tonight, talked about how he was kind of a jack of all trades type of person. He was good at a lot of things, but not great at any one thing. But instead of getting down on himself for not having a big great talent, he encourages others to go after what they are passionate about. He is the backbone type of person. I think that is more what I am called to do.
I always wanted to be in a band. I wanted nothing more than to be a touring band. I still have a huge desire to tour at some point, but I've sort of lost my ambition to actually be in a band. If I was I wouldn't say no, but if I'm not, I won't go crazy or anything. But I do love to encourage my friends who are in bands. I see someone like my mentor at ASM, Joe Burgers, and I think that that is something I'd rather get into. Joe tour pastors bands. He goes on the road with Christian bands both selling merch, but also being the behind the scenes guy to make sure that they are doing what God called them to do. I would love to do something like that. I am an encourager. I've always been good with words and I love the idea of traveling listening or being a part of music somehow. This seems like something that would be a perfect fit for me. I also don't see it as a coincidence that Joe just so happens to be my mentor. I was so excited when I found out he was my mentor; he's one of the most legit dudes I've met in a while and I feel like I have a lot to learn from his wisdom.
Also, reading has been going by so far. Granted the book I'm reading is definitely an easy read, but still. I've never just plowed through a book like I have with this one. I might have it done in one week! I've never done that before ever. I feel so accomplished. I hope I can keep it up.
Prayer: please pray for me and just not getting distracted. I get so distracted in class with my own thoughts. I have a hard time taking notes as a result. Money is still an issue, any prayer or donations are still welcome! Also, if you could lift up my friend Braelynn's niece, Averi. This baby was born with heroine addiction and really needs prayer for healing! OUR GOD CAN DO IT! It's so crazy, I actually believe that statement now. Things are looking up.
