Week 4: My neighbors have really ugly Dogs

Just got out of a creative planning meeting. We brainstormed ideas for sermon series for the next year. So cool to see creative minds at work!!

Well I am so sorry that its taken me like two weeks to update you on the internship... This always happens with me and journals. I have these great ambitions of noting every detail and then ...two weeks later.....my deepest apologies

So some observations i have of Oakley-

1. I love it here, it has a small town vibe ( lots of mom and pop places and cute little shops)
2. Pedestrian friendly with lots of side walks.... (in brighton there are no sidewalks... oh michigan)
3. Health conscious ( 2 whole foods markets within walking distance of my house.)
4. Ugly dogs.

I live next to two bulldogs that welcome me every morning....its delightful :( But there is a fence that seperates us so that I am greatful for. They make the most ungodly sounds. Not even dog sounds like gremlin esc....growly noises...its gross. I recorded it for you so you could hear it. But you need to upload a video on here so .. i will get on that so you can share in on the experience :)

In other not so random news I am being challenged as a musician. Creativity that i thought was my strong suite is being tested which is good and bad. Bad because i am my worst critic and everything i produce i seem to critique heavily. Good because i am growing as a musician which is always awesome. I just need to grow in confidence as well as creativity and also allow myself to be a kid and play.... sometimes i take myself so seriously.

God time - My mondays

are becoming something of great value. This past Monday i painted a picture to help unlock some different avenues of creativity and learn news ways of communicating with God.

Things you could pray for:

1. The future- God revealing himself to me and what the future will hold. Some direction
2. Creativity- God's continued out pouring of creativity
3. Freedom- Spiritually and emotionally

Freedom is something i have been seeking since i started my summer. Its been a kind of theme to my summer now in seeking freedom and intimacy with God. There is alot of bondage in my life i wish to seek freedom after and that is a huge concern of mine. Freedom to be myself and to allow God to move in that freedom. Anyways love you guys! Till my next post avoir
