Overdose

itunes song of the day:


Just got Lecrae's sequel album to Rehab. It's called Rehab: The Overdose. I've only listened through it once so far, but the feel is old school Lecrae (Real Talk). "Chase That" is the song that has stood out the most to me so far, mainly for musical reasons with the sick Strings intro.

Onto my life.

I am thinking and praying about possibly going to FMI in Kansas City. Now, what the heck is that some of you may be wondering. That stands for Forerunner Media Institute. It's a part of the International House of Prayer University and is located in Kansas City (funny because the Ravens just wrecked the Chiefs.) I had gone on the Ihop site for the Prayer Room broadcast and had also talked with some friends that have been there multiple times for conferences about an Internship called Fire in the Night. Both of these would be awesome, but understand that I will be at Camp this summer so the soonest this would happen would probably be January 2012. I've only heard good things from Ihop. I bunch of good friends of mine (the same I talked to about Fire in the Night) went to their Young Adult conference called Onething over Christmas Break. Unfortunately I was at the Black Rock Jr. High Retreat (still recovering from a cold since then) but I wanted to go, and probably will go next year (sorry Camp...) I've been looking for something to be passionate about. Explanation: I know my passions (Music, Film, Media, Technology) but I had been searching for somewhere I could apply these. I do lead worship at the youth group at my church, and I help lead for the Services at my church as well as others when needed. So that's application here, but I'm not really learning more about what I'm passionate about, just doing it. This Internship or Year of School(They are different) would focus myself toward learning about Christ, and my passions. Out of the Media Institute I would receive a certificate after the one year program. What that means as far a accredited schools and such, I don't know. Eventually I should probably get a college degree in something, but I'm not passionate about that right now. Howard Thurman, a famous american Theologian once said, “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Music, Media, and Christ make me come alive and this opportunity in Kansas City could be just what I need to revitalize my life and Go Hard for Christ.

Sure, this is all just possibility right now, so prayers are needed. Financially, the School/Internship isn't all that expensive so I'm not worried about that. I would just like to figure out if this is somewhere God wants to lead me in the next year of my life.
