Music Academy
I can't believe I'm actually studying music at Forerunner Music Academy! Finally I'm here after all the years of inner turmoil and indecision. I still remember, every year at UIC during spring, I'd contemplate switching from English Education to some form of art. But I never delve into that desire; I'd just dabble here and there on the side. Since I've been back at IHOP, my mind's been too congested with worries concerning my finances to fully appreciate this door God's opening. The other day, I finally sat down and let it sink in. I was just so overwhelmed by His kindness in leading me in His perfect way. Though I don't understand everything that's happened the past few years, I'm finally here and enjoying the fact that I'm in His will. I'M IN HIS WILL. It is so true, that it is when we are in His will, that we are truly free.
Thank you Jesus that I'm in FMA!! I feel so blessed! My instructors actually pray before class, sing worship songs during and before class, they prophesy over us, minister to our hearts. Our relationship with God is a real concern to them. Our time spent in the prayer room actually counts for a large percentage of our grade!
How Derek Loux, one of our instructors, began the class yesterday really help realign me to why I'm here. He said, "we're doing this to prepare for battle. Music will be our weapon. God uses the seemingly weak things of this world to go to war in the end times." After he said that, I felt pumped to practice. Come on! I'm gonna make demons explode through melodies and song lyrics declaring the truth of the Lord! Is this awesome or what?

So jealous... I want to be in FMA! :) SF is good - studying SOS and learning to pursue God!
Hey friend. I don't know when the next visit will be... hopefully it'll be before the next One Thing Conf! Perhaps in the summer sometime (cause you know, I like the feeling of my flesh melting in Missouri heat)? I'll be sure to let you know when I do though! How's FMA going?
