Living in community is an experience everyone should go through. It’s an environment that allows you to really learn self control in all areas of your life – socially, devotional time, “me” time, practice time, HW, attitude, confrontation, etc. you name it, you’ll encounter it and produce better character.
I experienced the largest drum circle ever this past Tuesday night. A man came in with over 50 hand drums and percussion instruments and directed us somewhat like a choir and WOW what a fun night. We had so many sounds and beats going and we all sat in a huge circle facing each other it was so Powerful!!!
Our Neighbors were shooting a music video…couldn’t quite get any details outta’ them other than they were filming a music video. They were playing so loud and pumping so much fog that the fog and noise were seeping through the walls an sliding door to our dining area. Oh the joys of living in the old Marathon car factory.
Got to play basketball on a beautiful fall (COLD) day and about 6 neighborhood kids came out to play with us….SO MUCH FUN…one of my fav things’ I’ve done here. Three of my favorite things – outdoors, basketball and KIDS!!!
Surrounded by talent….one of our guests this week Shoc Shae, a producer called 2x to work for Nellie and he turned Nellie down, a fellow student turned down offer to tour and play for Brad Paisley and Taylor Swift…..and again I say surrounded by some talented peeps!
Learning to play piano….sooo STRETCHING, literally, but so fun…I might be spending more time creating stuff than actually practicing the scales…but I’m definitely improving.
Our worship team had an awesome breakthrough this last Friday night, it was so GOOD and anointed. At one of our practices we spent the entire time checking our attitudes and hearts, doing some team bonding and we closed with a spontaneous piano 2 chord progression praise song,that turned into this awesome worship song. We played it full band Friday night…..WOW it was so GOOD and people really enjoyed it. Love being creative with my creative arts team!!!
Watched a video “They sold their soul to rock ‘n roll” – so powerful but a heavy teaching completely validating the influence of satanic beliefs infiltrating society through rock ‘ n roll. So eye opening…..I was shocked, in disgust and am more attuned to details now. Google Aleister Crowley for more info on the man that has influenced thousands with his satanic teachings. What a reminder to those of us called to redeem music and allow positive Godly change to come through it.
I’m continuing to be stretched…removing any remaining residue that’ll keep me from being a pure vessel for the Lord to use. Seizing every opportunity here as I’m ½ way done with my time here.
Please keep me in your prayers as I prepare for the next season to come….details coming soon! Missin' california fruit and friends!!!!!!!
Your words are lined with such a deep prescence of our Lord. I can not wait to catch up when that time arises.Be prepared for what comes in the second half. The Lord is saving the best for last. Love you my sister.
