the calm before the storm.

the next few weeks are going to be incredibly, horribly busy.

School is promising to be jam-packed with events and work and what not, so...I find it necessary to enjoy the time I have left to truly (truly, i say to you) capitalize on the moments of freedom.

And today was a good start.

I went to work this morning, no shocker there since it has been nearly two months since our new schedule has had me working 6 days a week. Worked from 6-11am then headed home to impatiently count down the minutes until Cassie's chamber audition interview while driving around looking for sour spray candy.

Smart & Final, the 99 cent store, and finally Blockbuster (where I rented a few goodies) then we were on our way.

It just so happened that all of the people I wanted to hang out with today had zero plans, so HOORAY for the ability to schedule some discipleship and accountability hang out time.

After Cassie's audition, which she killed btw, I dropped off Cassie for Choir practice, then picked up Kristine and Lidia before heading to our regular discipleship hang out: Hometown Buffet.

We ate WAY more than necessary and had a lot of great talks about how all three of us are awkward...but apparently I win the awkward award. (eh. not surprised)

Moving on: from there we picked up Melissa and trekked to P. Eddie's house for some quality Ormeo Family time, meeting up with the Reyei + mis hermanos. Getting down to business we unearthed the spoils of my trip to Blockbuster:

Ponyo
(Ghibli Studios' rendition of Little Mermaid)


And Valentine's Day
(one of my FAVORITE movies)

woot. loved it. And was reminded of the importance of fellowship. =D

I have thought about it alot over the past year. Thought about the type of ministry I feel God calling me to and my eyes have been opened to just how impactful a God centered relationship can be on all parties involved.

While I love music and LOVE my musicals, what I love more is the avenues that open up through them. The opportunities to become stronger together and to encourage others who are in need of it outweighs any amount of sheet music I could acquire. My only hope is to continue on doing the work and being a light for Christ to shine through.

Colossians 2:2-3
2My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
