Day 4: From An Artistic View

From an artist perspective a envision behind a painting or piece of artwork is always there. Just like in life, God is an artist and envisions our lives in every complete detail.  The subtle accents he uses to create each individual makes us different. Giving us these differences really makes life that much more interesting and makes us as humans want to explore what else is out there. For some, they have never felt God spirit amongst them because they have grown up with so much fear. For others, they have so much desire to help someone they don't even know where to begin. For God, he makes us work in ways that we can't always see.

Today started as a relaxing day. It was a cold day. When the only thing I wanted to do was to hop up in bed I knew I wouldn't get that much accomplished. But as the day went on I had several meetings to attend. One of which was a Aurora Editor meeting. And another which was a meeting for those who are interested in being an RA for next year. So as of right now I am torn between choosing to be an RA next year or being Editor of Aurora or neither. It's all up to God in what doors He is going to leave open and what doors He will close. Working for Admission in the Church Relations department has really taught me how rewarding it is to just get involved in other peoples lives. When making phone calls I don't always get a second chance to make that second call because there is just so many students to get through in a year's time. However, it is such a joy to hear these juniors and seniors in high school be so excited for the upcoming years and especially to know they will be a "college student"soon. When I ask some of them ... "What are you involved in at school or outside of school?" They normally pause and some of them will give me the response saying "nothing". Well, then sometimes I say "Okay, are you involved in your youth group in anyway?" and then they normally have excitement in there voice and give a list of about at least 5 things they do in there youth group alone. I feel such a joy to have an opportunity to talk to these kids. Which brings me to why I think it would be such an amazing experience to be apart of the students lives in the upcoming year. I could be there for there hardship and when they just need a friend to talk to. I am thinking about that but also the Aurora position is another wonderful ministry opportunity because I would be impacting the lives of our campus by capturing moments day by day which is so significant for new beginnings.

And to end the day off right Austin and I went to Matt and Jerry's Art Show. They both did an amazing job. Matt captured great photos and Jerry did his project on using wood to make different pieces of work have new meaning and originality. Now, I am really already starting to think about being in the class to do the art show thing because it would be very beneficial in what ever I do after I graduate college. Thats all for tonight, but now I am praying for no school tomorrow because it is suppose to be -15 below zero. brrrr.

Austin, Matt, and I as we are there supporting Matt at his Art Show.
