All great classes with great teachers!

Things have been amazing here! The people and speakers are just
groundbreaking! It's like being at a International Worship Institute
but for 3 years straight! haha. (unfortunately no Steak n' Shake every night)
haha!

God is on the move in a powerful way and I'm learning so much more about him!
Think about this- How do you get to know someone?
You spend time with them- so why don't we spend the needed time with God
like we should? Why do we think of it as a chore? It should be something
we can't go to sleep without doing!!! Just a nugget. =)

Audition Update- I had auditions on Tuesday!
People high-fived me afterwards because I was
the only girl drummer and they thought I was great!
Haha, but by the grace of God I have that talent and
all the praise be to Him!

Wednesday I saw my name on the call back sheet! woo!!!

Thursday was interviews!
To get a final feel on who we are and what are purpose is
for being on stage.
So my questions were-
1) How long have you been in the worship ministry?
I answered about five years and then went on to
name the three different ministries I've served in.

2) What is the purpose of being apart of a worship team?
I answered to bring the congregation into the presence of God.
Also- while playing it's a prayer for that congregation, something
God wants to instill in those people at that time.
But ultimately to bring the congregation into the throne room.

3) What drew you to come to Christ for the Nations?
I answered that I heard about it through the mail and also
my best friend goes here and I learned a lot about it through
her. After months of praying about it, I knew I was supposed to
go here but my parents and guidance counselor was highly opposed
since it's not a accredited. But after attending a worship conference
at CFNI, God told me this is where I'm supposed to be. So my parents,
after picking me up to from the airport I told them and they said- ok!
Lets get you an application.

4) What's your favorite scripture verse?
I answered-- ahh, aaaaaa, hmmmm.
Yeah I went totally blank. I said I don't remember the verse.
So they said well if you just give us the base of it..
so I said it has to do with the singers going forth in battle first.
So they were like oh ok good good.
Then I recovered and said I'll fallback on John 3:16 haha.
They laughed.

=) then it was over!

Now I'm home relaxing in my A/C apartment- Thank God!
Because my hair immediately curled (my bangs which I keep straight)
when walking out the door.

Thanks Jesus! =)

I met some pretty awesome people while being here!
Anna, Kaylan, Hairy, Kim, Tanya, Josh, Jacob, Caleb, etc.

Fun fact- If any of you are familiar with the Revelation Song..
Kari Jobe sings it who is big down here (she went to CFNI)

hmm.. yeah I am friends with her brother! Who is so unbelievably
funny I might pee my pants while talking to him one day!

So that's my life right now!
So amazing.
God is great!

If you haven't talked to God in awhile- just take five minutes to
say hey God, thanks for everything you've done in my life. You're
awesome! To you be all the glory!

He misses you.

Jesus I pray for all of those who are unsure of Your plan for their life,
I pray that you'd just instill in them Your will. So that they would
follow.
