The first blended fruit drink...

This is an accomplishment in a house where eating fruit directly was more efficient in the past.

Art jamming session

Just what is needed to destress!

It was a fun time despite throwing my OCD out the window to randomly design the decorations on my elephant.

Marathon completed...

In total I spent over 34 hours away from home. Playing board games, with a few hours downtime for meals and 5 hours of sleep.

Playing the combination of cards from Dominion 1st edition, Intrigue and Alchemy was just such a splendid goal come true!
I still love Mysterium, despite again failing to win as a team when I am the ghost.
I'm amazed I won at 7 Wonders twice.
And was so relieved that I managed to not place last in Concordia, because it was tough.

With a flip of a coin...

...it was decided that I sign up for drums workshop in the worship camp coming up in August.

I have been debating the question for weeks.
It would be so comfortable to go for keys where everything won't seem so foreign.
But there was this weird feeling.
That tiny tingling in my heart, asking me to risk it all and challenge myself.

The fate from a coin was like a confirmation that this is the right thing to do.

Watching Hair the other day, seeing that bad ass expression coming on at every cool snare beat he made, I wanted to be him.
Carrying that confidence, that attitude.

I don't know how to get there from here.
Here being so many insecurities that have become my norm.
So I hope this camp will give me insight.

Even though it feels like church sent their best and worst (because Hair chose the same workshop), I'm not going to give a damn when that day comes.

Even though I know I am going to struggle with the terminologies and any on spot display, I also know this love for drums is real and beyond any thing I could possibly fathom.

The God with me in this situation will bear it all for me.
I will stand tall because this love is from Him.
My rock and my salvation.

Thankful...

For the good boss that always does his best to help me. Even to the point of missing a dental appointment while having a toothache.

For the 2nd Agricola game where I did not fall last place. Though I sadly slaughtered a few boars to survive.

For the map that returned into my hands.
And how to conquer the new demands on it, I found piling up messy lines on top of messy lines work.

For the constant knowledge that He is behind every single aspect of my life. And how I am truly loved and cared for.
