Busy Days

Life has been feeling quite chaotic these past few weeks. As some of you know, our current building has been sold! So we are about to move our entire organization soon, and there has been a bit of stress surrounding that. Also, we have our summer Mission Adventures program starting soon, and so we as a team have been busting our butts to get a good quality program together in place. We are currently going to set up office in one of our student houses, and then continue to look for a place to hold our training programs in, that would be in this area. I'll try to keep ya'll updated.
Our buddy Audrey is back here and staying with us from Texas, and on her way through to Japan for 2 years! We are excited for her as she follows her dreams. We are so proud of her.

On Saturday last weekend, I hosted a wedding shower for one of my closest friends Louise. We had such a good time. It was a Dutch theme party, and it was amazing to be able to bless her and honour her as she prepares for marriage.
Here's a couple of pics from the afternoon tea party.

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
