Summer Plans...

     Over the past two weeks or so, all the while finishing project and preparing for final exams and booking my flight home to Virginia, I've been thinking a lot about summer plans. One idea is to play in one my college's summer worship teams that they send out to camps after school lets out. I signed up earlier in the year and auditions are in early January (the 12th to be exact). I'm really excited for this opportunity, and thought I've auditioned in the past and not been chosen, I'm not mad or bitter. I'm trusting the Lord with all of this, asking Him to open doors He wants me to go through and close ones He doesn't.
     Another is an internship. Now I use that term loosely because technically I'm not required to do one ( I think my Worship capstone class is close enough to one). I have the idea of interning at a nearby church, depending on other circumstances, and helping with any media they use in their services. This means sound (I want hands on with this), video (which I've never done and am not experienced in), writing for audio or video pieces (done a lot of this...thanks, Media Scriptwriting!), graphic design (done some of this as well, and I have great tools to do so, not just the Adobe programs), and other media. I think this would help me get needed experience considering my major sets me up to be a media "pastor" in a church (sans the ordination).
     What are the other circumstances? Well, considering I do not currently have my driver's license nor a car, my roommate's parent's friends offered me to stay with them over the summer and during that time teach me to drive. *GASP* That is such an amazing offer! If I choose to take this, I would try to get my "internship" near where they live.
     All of these are really good options, and I'm still considering them all. But more than my consideration, I want to submit to God's will and desire for me this summer. I appreciate your continual prayers for me in this matte. I know it is a few months away now, but I see nothing wrong with praying in advance for anything. May your days be blessed and blessed because of your dependance on God.

Advent Podcast worth checking

Hello, blog universe. It's been way too long since I've posted last. School has been full effect, and with that, certain things fall down the priority list. Sadly, this was one of those things. Anyway, I wanted to mention one of my professors, Dr. Mark Perry, has started doing a podcast around the season of Advent which we are currently in. Have a listen, comment away, and give him your feedback.

You can listen here.

Have a blessed Christmas season everyone, and I hope to keep posting over our break.
