June 5th (Day 22)

What a day. I just got home from a long day of working and getting things done. I got in to work a little before 8 am and was the first one there so I set up my computer and ate a banana for breakfast. When I went to throw the peel away, I noticed that the trash can was overflowing, so I went around and emptied all the trash cans and took out the trash before too many people showed up (Tyler had arrived as I started to empty the trash). Most of the morning was just prep for the big video shoot that took place today. All I'm going to tell you about it is that it is going to be awesome! :-) Jeff and I stayed back at the office to do some research and work on other things while James, Michael, Micah, Tyler, and Josh went out to shoot the video. I got a good amount of stuff done and got a little further in research, but every time I would have a lead, it would end with me having to wait for a reply to a message or email or something. I decided to do some of my assigned reading since I was in a waiting stage anyway, so I read for a little bit. While reading, I started reflecting about how much I've grown spiritual since the summer alone has started and where I'm heading. I came to the conclusion that I wanted to challenge myself with something that if I was able to pull off, would GREATLY benefit me. For every day (going back to May 15) that I'm an intern at Momentum (and even for a little while after), I'm going to memorize at least one verse of scripture a day. I realized that if I'm this interested in ministering to people and am this serious about doing what God wants, I should be willing to take some leaps of faith and stretch myself (even in the area of scripture memorization). Today's scripture is Isaiah 41:13, "For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Kinda fitting for this challenge huh? Haha. I spent the majority of the afternoon getting one of the main speakers fixed (including waiting another 30 min in the front of the store even after leaving for a little bit). Once that was done, I got to James' house to pick up him and some sound equipment for practice just in time. We made our way over to a local church that was nice enough to let us use their facilities to practice. Practice went really well and we are all very excited about the fact that we are doing "In the Air Tonight" for preservice AND using 3 drum kits in the service. I'm stoked! Haha. Tomorrow would be an easy day since we're just taking a half day, 10 am - 3 pm, but I'm getting involved in helping my Mo-Group leader teach, so I have a "Huddle" meeting at 7:30 am (so much for sleeping in, haha). But all in all today was a good day! :-) I guess that's all I've got for you today. Till tomorrow!
