Well, it was an amazing tour in Las Vegas, and I was really blessed by Revelation Today by John Bradshaw. It was a real privilege to be a part of that ministry sharing our music with the world! Since I have less memory than that of a grapefruit, I have forgotten most of the exciting happenings of the trip except eating in a casino. That was really rather fun!
Since we have come back from the trip, school and work have resumed pretty uneventfully. I have been practicing guitar a lot so that I can finish the song that I am trying to write... As part of my practice, I learned one of my very favorite songs by Mumford and Sons called Awake My Soul. If you haven't heard it, [don't you dare close this tab, because you haven't even finished this whole post] open a new tab and go listen to it!! I pretty much love Mumford and Sons.
I am still trying to decide where to go to college. I have prayed a lot about it and I am thinking more and more that University of Kentucky might be detrimental to my spiritual health, so I don't know. God will definitely have to work some miracles to pay for Southern, but that's where I would really like to go. I mean, yes. There are some bad apples at Southern. But at least it's an apple orchard, you know? Good apples have the right environment to grow there and they don't have to be influenced by the bad ones. It just seems that the more I pray about it, the more University of Kentucky seems like a pumpkin patch. If I was looking for other things in life, then sure! Pumpkins are fine. But I don't want to be a pumpkin. The whole reason that I came to Fountainview was to become an apple, and the last thing I want to do is go right back to being a little pumpkin. You see, pumpkins are mushie on the inside. People don't generally scrape the insides of apples out for halloween because they are consistent all the way through. Pumpkins look great on the outside and they look like they have everything together, but they allow people to just come and empty them out. That's not cool. I don't like that empty feeling the world offers. I know that I could choose to make UofK an apple orchard experience or whatever, but I am honest with myself enough to know that my environment affects me a lot. We'll see where God leads and I would still really like to live at home so I guess UofK is not completely out of the picture, but I am not about to turn back on my faith so that I can live at home... That's a hard thing to say but I am sure that where ever God leads me will be the best for my growth and for my family.
Dear Lord, PLEASE not more than 3 hours from home. I beg of you!!! Amen.
Anyways. Now I am going to learn some other cool songs. :) Hasta la vista!
