Immeasurably More.

I think I'm probably first in line when it comes to interesting weeks this particular week. So many crazy things have happened from completely terrible to drastically wonderful. 

First things first, I lost my french horn. How does one lose a french horn, you may ask? It's very complicated. That alone put my week to an absolute terrible start. However, the week could only get better from there. Despite my loss of my [extremely expensive] instrument, I've managed to keep a positive attitude and mindset regarding it. The only thing keeping me sane right now is the fact that God has a plan for my life. As the week progressed, the sun still came up, time still moved, and the world didn't stop its motion. 

Tonight I was privileged to have a very unique experience. I was able to attend one of the Passion Tour concerts and it was amazing, to say the least. Of course there was awesome worship, a good message, and all that good stuff, but the makeup of the people in that building was what was so moving to me. There were children as young as infants and toddlers, elementary-aged kids, youth groups, college students, parents, and even grandparents all in that building with one purpose: to glorify God. It was glorious to see ALL age groups represented in that building and all of them serving how they should. Louie Giglio spoke and his title was "immeasurably more" and it spoke to me because my God can do immeasurably more. He can go beyond what we imagine, what we think, and do something greater than us.

So I may not have a french horn anymore, but I do have loving friends and family, I attend a wonderful school, new friends that I love dearly, and most importantly the Creator of all that can do immeasurably more.

Patience.

Going into an education and ministry profession (or any profession for that matter) patience is a HUGE factor that we all need to master. I've recently had the privilege of working with a group of friends to film a short film, "Quietus." We've had fun working together but we also get on each other's nerves. Being one of the main driving forces for the film, I often want to go full speed and get things done swiftly with ease. However, not everyone necessarily has the mindset. In this one case, I ended up embarrassing myself out of frustration and anger. When working with a group of students, you must learn to be empathetic and patient towards the others' feelings and thoughts. Not everyone has the same passion and drive as you and it's often hard to accept that. But if you keep patient and work with your group, your outcome will be so much better. 

Tips on Being Patient:

1. Pray about everything. We are working on God's time, not ours. He knows what's best for us and will do what needs to be done. 

2. Keep your cool. Watch what you say and do when you're frustrated and impatient because people will see your reaction and remember it. 

3. Don't walk outside in your underwear because your friends will lock you out and you will get mad.
