if i sit still enough...

with only my plastic bag in hand, i got off the easyjet flight about a week ago in beautiful edinburgh scotland! even though i found myself in the midst of all the UK airport security chaos from all the terrorist attacks, i made it. and it was all well worth it... i missed my chance a year and half ago to go to scotland when i was in the UK but another opportunity came up. a few weeks ago, my good friend joel came for a visit and convinced me to make it to scotland one weekend while he would be there (with the maui school of worship outreach)... it didn't take a lot to convince me and honestly, i couldn't have asked for a better time to go... with the Fringe going off (the worlds largest arts and cultural festival) there was heaps to see and reuniting with my friends from maui was such a sweet time.... it was so flippin amazing! i've decided i will go back to scotland one day... and discover more of the beautiful rich history of the scots... but for now... if i sit still enough in the silence, i can still hear the bagpipes carry a melody...

school of outter voice

i guess you can say that i wear my 'staff hat' for the school of design with a little bit more confidence than when i first started about 4 weeks ago. it has been a stange eerie process transitioning from being a student for 2 years to being a staff but its been such a learning experience. this season is definitely a time for me to sit on a spring board into traning and leadership skills for future plans. i must say that the students in this school are amazing natural talented divergent extroverted people who... i must add... like to practice their '"outter voice." :) they are great and love 'em to pieces... im learning right with them and tapping into God's creative as we create, design and be inspired...
