It's already halfway through January and I started this post over a week ago. I apologize this is very belated. Here are the picture updates of my first week back in
Orlando.
We had an intern development day on Monday, and we learned
about the Predictive Index and had a devotional on surrender. Then we had a
hands-on activity based on surrender – dirty pour paintings. I did them once
before with Tony John, and it’s a form of art where you have very little
control of the finished product. It’s exciting but also scary, but it always
turns out fine. The interesting part was seeing how everyone’s painting turned
out. Here’s a sweeping glance of all of them:
Beautiful Dirty Pours
During our lunch break, we walked to a nearby park and
climbed a rope structure. We got a refreshing view of the neighborhood. At
least for those of us who climbed to the top.
At the Top!
After work on Tuesday, my teammate Kelsey took me to
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We celebrated the end of her time with the
conference team, and a successful Epic Conference in Dallas over New Years. We
went to get Dole Whip. Later in the evening, her family (who were in Orlando
for a work conference) joined us, where we got dinner and watched the Magic
Kingdom fireworks without the crowd and people. I laughed so much with her
family; they are a hilarious bunch, and I now know where her sense of humor J
And we had a visitor! Keren’s sister Miriam came back to Orlando
with her, and she stayed with us for a few days. She’s a junior in college
studying ___, and looking to attend Preview Weekend in early February! She also
went to China in high school and requested to have hot pot with Song and I
while she was with us. So that’s what we did on Wednesday evening! It’s always
so fun to spread joy through sharing a meal with others, especially when it’s
good food.
Hot Pot with Miriam + Friends
After dinner, Miriam and Keren hosted a bilingual worship
night. They sang played a few familiar worship songs in both Spanish and
English, and it was so cool to see and hear them worship in a different
language. It reminds me of the worship songs that Song plays in his car, and
the fact that God understands and accepts our worship no matter where we are or
what language we speak.

And what post would be complete without a food picture? I had breakfast with my roommates before work on Friday and ordered "Vanilla Chai Pancakes." It was plated so beautifully that I felt inspired to copy it! So the next day, I made breakfast with Aftyn, and we had normal pancakes with her roommates. But look, I think I was a pretty good copycat:
Top Inspired Bottom
I am now in San Francisco for Cru Winter Conference! More updates coming soon.
