Another week down!

So this week has been all about our final projects. We have been practicing and refining are pieces some people have started all over and changed completely. It has been a really good week, but I have noticed the art in this school is not the challenging part for me. What challenges me the most is my spiritual growth.

I have come to terms with my hatred of confrontation. In my mind it is always bad to confront and the few times I have done it I always cry. But luckily I have leaders around me who see that and are challenging me to grow. it was so bad that I was approached about making a mistake that I actually did not make. But because I hate confrontation I just said sorry and went away sad. I was that afraid of people I couldn't even defend myself or share the truth. I think this is the root of so many issues I have. It can be so hard for me to trust people. I think in my mind I assume everyone will let me down. This negative thinking has really distanced me from the leadership here. But thankful we had a meeting yesterday and I threw out all my emotions and concerns.

again, I am learning that being upfront is the best way to honor a relationship. I then approached people I had been talking about and fortunately they were all very forgiving. it is so hard to share sometimes, but I feel so much more free after having just been truthful. Please pray I continue to express my heart and that I would not just follow the crowd or keep things pent up in my heart.

We are graduating from the lecture phase in a few weeks and I believe we will do a live streaming of the ceremony so those at home can watch. I will make sure to get all the details out to you awesome readers. I hope to perform my final project so I can share it with you all! Oh and a special thanks to the people at OST, where my dad works. I know you guys are enjoying my blog and it really encourages me to know your reading and praying! Thanks again!


Oh and another special prayer request. This is a photo of my good friend Wen ji and I. She is from Malaysia and is planning to join the ministry team in Hong Kong. Before she can go she has to raise the funds and find monthly supporters this is really had to do in Malaysia. In her culture the children are expected to care for the parents once they have reached adulthood. SO for Wen ji it will be hard to have consistent support. She has a vision to minister to people in the arts and spread the gospel to famous artists all over the world. Please keep her in your prayers!!
