Hey everyone! Things are going alot better around here. God is showing us more and more of Him every day. He is so amazing! Today was the first day of our small groups. Mine is awesommmeee! We went to Yogurtland - a frozen yogourt parlor where you can put your own toppings on it. I was in heaven... forsure. And this week will be alot of practicing because the Movement's sneak peak is this weekend. So we are preparing a music/dance/spoken word/routine production to put on for them. Then on nov. 4 we will be going to San Diego to inspire people there at a 'mini-conference'. Most of the travelling services will be after February though. In February we go to Phoenix to perform at Pastor Tommy Barnett's church of like 20,000 people... ah!!
We also started tracks this week. All three of us are in Culture Creators... it's pretty awesome that we all got the same track because they weren't even our first picks. So basically Culture Creators are the team of people to plan and organize productions for the year. Ie. For the travelling services, Pastor's Conference in Phoenix, Reach (the youth group), church services etc. We will incorporate painting this year... YAY! I'm stoked for that! We miss you all so much! Sorry about taking so long to blog... we're always busy with classes/hanging out with others/practices and such. Last week as Michelle said was Champion Week... it's like Hell Week for the army in the states where they see who's the most committed and dedicated to being there. But this week was alot easier and I proved different strengths and values in us. It was so hard because we woke up every morning at 3am. But last Thursday was our last week. We walked up the Hollywood Hills at 4am... BEAUTIFUL walk... and the leadership team prayed and blessed each of us specifically. They prayed for things in each of our lives specifically without even really knowing us that well... God is definitely moving here. I feel like already I have grown so much - God is really stretching us and teaching us.
We also started essentials this week where all the girls and guys split up for a few hours and talk/learn/have devos. Our girl leaders are so genuine and kind... I feel like things are finally starting to move along in the program. I still don't know what this year holds/what the years after hold. It will be crazy though. So far I've been through many trials and troubles but I am learning how to overcome them. It is very stressful but very purposeful too.
OH! Also, my birthday is in 2 weeks and so we are all going to do something sweet - I love the beach so I was thinking Huntington and then out for dinner or something.. I want to have a bonfire on the beach too!... Any ideas viewers? And, this monday five of us girls are going to see.... you'll never guess... DR. Phil!! haha! I never watch that show but any excuse to go somewhere for free. We need to dress in business attire. And on Monday we went shopping down Melrose area. There are many thrift stores there... window shopping can be fun but frustrating. Then we were going to drive down Rodeo Drive, but we will another day instead.
Okay ladies and gents, thanks for reading and tune in again for the next blog! :) We miss you all and love you all! xxoo
