This is brief for I am tired from walking up and down hills [Pullman, anyone?], but am also tired from my first day of class.
Did you catch that?
I'm tired from my first day of class.
:)
I was accepted officially as the 17th student today into the 2008 School of Photography!
There's a story to it, and of course, doing as I do, there are plenty of details to go with it. I'll shorten it.
But after sitting down with the school leader, and after talking with him and his staff multiple times, and after it had been made decently clear that 16 would be the maximum amount of students allowed in the course, we decided to take the weekend to pray about me auditing the class... what I was hoping for seemed to be twisting into something else and I was trying to cope with that, when the leader found me on Sunday evening and told me that after much prayer and after talking with his wife, his staff and with the Lord, he decided that having me as a 17th student was what the Lord would have, and that he admired Lindsey's and my own faith in purchasing one-way tickets to be there no matter the circumstances, and through the Lord was wanting to reward that.
So for now I get to chill [maybe 'chill' is the wrong word to use, however my roommates just got back from the mountain (aka. volcano) where there was snowboarding and it was below freezing... just an hour and a half away.] in Hawai'i for the next 3 months learning photography intensively amongst a tight knit, multi-cultural community, with grandparents to twenty-somethings to babies.
Basically, I'm radiating.
As for now, I just wanted to let you all know and to thank you sooooo much for those that have been praying, and those that have been thinking good thoughts, and even those that have been thinking horrid things... I'm sure something came of it...
So much love, more later!
