being a part of the AV team has been one of the most challenging things i’ve ever done in my life. not even kidding one bit. it’s not necessarily the tasks, but the nature of the ministry team itself — flowing with the Spirit, discernment during worship, learning how my own works will never be enough. so many tears have already been shed because of the sheer frustration i’ve experienced while serving on this team. i’ve never felt so incompetent. i just don’t know what i’m even supposed to do anymore. really, i just don’t know. maybe this is exactly what God wants me to learn.
goodnight.
Hello.
I made a separate CSMP blog for family friends but I’ve decided to invite you all to join me on this journey! It has been quite fantastic so far. I know that God has so much in store for the rest of the summer.
end-of-the-year video. yee.
andrea’s birthday cupcakes! butterpecan & apricot sweets — delish.
oh shoot, i think i just stumbled. hard.
congratulations to my brother for graduating high school this weekend! it was weird being at the ceremony because it literally felt as if i was just where he was, walking across that stage, waiting for my name to be called, waiting for that last congratulation before we all could toss our hats into the air. i remember it rained that day but like the photo junkie that i am, i went out the next day with a few other girls to snap some photographs together. luckily the sun was spectacular that day.
and i wasn’t aware that OHS was the #4 Michigan high school this year! woot!
but being at the graduation ceremony this weekend was interesting. as i was listening to the commencement speeches being made by various students, trying to inspire and push one another, all of them looking so optimistically into the future, i noticed that in my head, i was raging with cynicism and bitterness. in my head, all of this motivational stuff was just crap. all this talk about chasing big dreams, it all sounded so elementary to me. in my head, i was telling them all to “get real,” to realize that reality doesn’t concern their own little dreams. that dreams are nothing but visions of disappointment. as I caught myself thinking all of these horrid thoughts, i asked myself why the heck i was so negative and cynical. and then it hit me. that was exactly how i was living my life. i was living my life bitter at my former attempts at flying high. i’m a scarred little girl whose broken dreams broke her life. i didn’t realize how strongly these broken dreams were (and are) affecting my life. i’m living a life of apathy and bitterness, too afraid of dreaming again in fear of falling even harder than the first time. it only took me a little less than five years to finally come face to face with this piece of truth….
shoulda known that God would answer my prayers i prayed to Him.
asked to be s t r e t c h e d this summer.
