take 2 day 56: the future

I've been thinking.

after this year at college, what am i going to do?

yes, i do miss things from home and would like to go home. but do i miss it enough to be staying there forever? for the next couple foreseeable years anyways?

its tough to decide when I'm not home. so i have to convince myself i don't miss it. or else i'll be homesick for the next 9 months. (and i definitely don't want that. it'll make life here much more unnecessarily difficult!)

so do i see myself here in australia (Sydney) for the next couple foreseeable years then? i could. its really 50/50 right now (yeah i said it!)

I've been comparing it through what i can do. does toronto need the leadership in ministries and such? yes. am i leading and contributing here at hillsong too? yes. will i make an impact in toronto? yup, probably heading up and leading some ministries, more prepared than ever. am i making an impact here at hillsong? yup, a small lil contribution for a big global project.

so its either staying in sydney and contributing to the big growing church. or go back to toronto, and potentially join in on the movement of making toronto a big growing church.

I'm really indifferent right now as to what happens in the near future. just waiting to see what happens i guess, if opportunities come up from where ever. and confirmation too.

take 2, day 55: Cornerstone training video day anybody?

its been another crazy few weeks with Colour Conference 2012 preps, and the 2 conferences itself. lots of hard work going into props prep, getting admin stuff done, txting ppl information, answering questions... all in all. good use of my organizational skills! learnt a lot leadership wise, working with ppl, and really discovering my own leadership style.

then today came along. day 55 of my 2nd year in australia. shooting at the city campus for Hillsong LIVE's new album, Cornerstone, the instrumental training videos!!! no idea what I'm talking about? click for the God Is Able ones!

Except i spent my day shooting the "Rhythm Guitar" players. awesome sauce! and will spend the next 2 weeks (most likely) editing the "Drums" videos =) livin' the dream. definitely livin' the dream!!!

absolutely loved today! so good to get away from Hills for a bit too. and to sum it up: yeah. i did spend the day with fellow TV students AND hillsong musicians. digital gear/technology nerds unite? C'MON SOMEBODY!! "rollin'!" ahahahaha

so yup. adding another "credits on a Hillsong DVD" to the count! how many can i rake up in 2 years? =P kidding. I'm just grateful to be present at these shoots, let alone actually take part in shooting/editing/contributing!! if anyone has known me since the start of my "media fascination" days, you'll know my favourite part of shoots are the "behind the scenes" stuff that ppl don't really see. they're the funniest and most enjoyable parts! good times. good times indeed! really makes you appreciate every little detail, instead of just what is presented to the public as the final product.

anyways. another crazy month of april coming up. here's my roster! insane? yup. but its what I'm here to do: serve and learn!
