Things Progress

The students have been here for two weeks now, and we're really getting into the swing of things. We divided up into seven groups this past weekend, each with a different word: Invitation, Anticipation, Reunion, Intimacy, Betrayal, Sacrifice, and Pursuit. Last night we pitched ideas based off of these themes. Overall, it went well. We're all still adjusting to how to critique and accept critique in a setting like this. We're all in this together, and we're not making 7 individual pieces, we're making one collaboration that includes seven pieces.
My group is contemplating anticipation. The words were chosen randomly, but it ties in really well with us. All of our mediums utilize time, and so much of anticipation is watching the clock. We've decided to make a short film...technically two that complement each other. It's going to be hard, but it will be awesome if it comes together. Please be praying that God stays the center of our endeavors. We're about to take on a pretty big task, and it won't happen without Him.

I'm adjusting to the schedule finally. Your prayers have helped. I'm not nearly as exhausted or stressed after 12 hours in the studio as I was last week. There's still stress, and there's still exhaustion, but it's in moderation. I have Psalm 62:5 written on the wall in front of my workspace, so everytime I look up, I'm reminded to find my rest in God. It's been helpful.

I'm still short on support. We've been asked to have everything in by the end of the month. That's today. I've asked everyone I can think of. Most people who have given so far weren't even asked to give. I know God will provide...whenever I start to forget, I listen to Consider the Ravens and/or read the passage that it's based on. If you're willing/able to give, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I will be posting more pictures soon. I need to acquire a card reader to transfer them from my camera to the computer. For now, here's a photo of the first colla
boration exercise (Art in a Bag) that a friend took:




oops...I almost forgot Fact of the Day again.
Fact of the Day: I like peanut butter and bananas together...actually peanut butter is good with a lot of things.
