Day 12: Brain Dead


Today was a bit of a break for me mentally. I started by skipping breakfast and sleeping in until nine. It was glorious. I finished editing the photos from the project last week, which is a large amount of stress that ended. We spent the day before lunch working in our groups getting presentations ready for tomorrow. We’ll be presenting our concept for an interior space here in the main building where the offices and café are. We also presented our group ideas for the prayer walk in the woods today. It was nice for my mind to not be freaking out the whole day. It feels good to slow it down a little. We’re still working on a lot of projects but my brain doesn’t realize it, so that’s nice.

It was nice to put some of the things I’ve learned here to practice. Things such as, don’t question the creative/art director. Things like that have been a bit difficult to get the hang of. I don’t mouth off or anything, I just like to insert my opinion, which usually conflicts. It’s been a very humbling experience. I’m glad I’m actually learning from this trip and not just sweeping my experiences under the rug. It’s definitely a different type of learning than I thought it would be. But it’s very good. Today was also very exciting in the realm of my personal work. My buddy Max and I figured out some cool stuff for the future, which I’m super pumped about.

One thing I realized I’ve missed here is a day of rest. We had three days off from work, but they were just as busy and full of things as the workdays. God gave us a day of rest and I need to find a time to rest. I also need to find time to spend with God. My time and relationship with Him has been lacking since I’ve been here. We’re so busy that it’s hard to find time for Him, but I need to put aside that time. I think it would really help.

Sorry I’ve been posting short lately, my brain is fairly decimated. Oh one thing I did want to say that I forgot the other day. When we visited Salisbury Cathedral, I licked it. That is all. Goodnight. Oh oh, I’m super tired of my hair too, and I wore yellow pants today. Ok, peace out!
