Outreach

So we figured out our outreach locations today and kinda surprising I'm with Daniel. well anyways were headed out to Mongolia and somewhere else but I'm crazy excited. we have an excellent team 4 guys and 3 girls. be praying that we bond really well and mess together. we still have about 2 months before outreach. which will be great prep time. im totally swaped right so my mind isnt forming complete thoughts right now. but alot has happend this week.

Hearing The Voice of God

So i can now say i have heard the voice of God. its so crazy amazing its unexplainable. i mean he didn't speak anything prophetically renowned but its just cool to chat. Its  straing ( so i cant figure out how to spell straing but its the best i can do) almost just because back home we're never taught to hear or discern his voice specifically. something that Ive really missed growing up. if you could be praying that i would have a more discerning spirit strong and full of faith

By the way

for anyone at home thats been trying to contact me i got my phone stolen so yeah. really bites but it says in job "naked i come naked i shall return" but be praying it turnd up as well as the two other laptops that were lifted as well

LOVE

Love is a crazy thing. we watched a movie called furious love and the feeling of love poured over me me. how surprising i know but it really was to me being so emotionally distant felling that emotion without fear or resentment was weird. it was such a blessing.

Well it really tied into tonight we went and did a pray walk (which is for people that don't know a walk around town praying for people) and i remember Nate Parry give a preach on hell and during the walk God really gave me back my heart for the lost and how much he cares for them and how much i should be caring for all these people who will be going to hell without our intercession.

Just an Update

well no life lessons this time just living life. things are going great. oh but one thing Google "laminin" its kinda crazy. oh and we have outreach in the comunity tomarrow night. just be praying for our hearts that they would be prepared and that God would do a great work through us.

God > Food

OK so i had the weirdest revelation today in the Tin Cathedral (our lovely chapel) anyways we where having a debrief today and I was thinking about food. if any of you don't know i have a crazy high metabolism and i have to eat like every 2 hours or my belly stares growling. well this weekend we had very little to eat and the last day of our trip i was STARVING and so looking forward to a huge meal when we got back to came. i kept hoping and hoping it was what kept me going. We finally packed up camp and where headed out but we didn't know. we weren't told we were going home or where we where going but something in the back of my mind said we were. and that hope kept getting bigger. by we got out of the cars i was about to burst (we had blind folds on the whole car ride.) and when we got back it was so exciting just to eat food. food is trivial and simple but it taught me a strong lesson about how i need to be hoping about God. that i should be yearning and hoping excited to enter into gods kingdom and into rest from this rough world. sometime i forget how powerful hope can be it really drives and that how i should be looking home. this place is just a blip but God is eternal.

Not sure if any of my story makes sence but it was really powerfl how it just hit me like a truck and i wanted to  share it with you

P.S.

forgive the horrible writing and spelling and also I'm tried to grab some pics but not being a camera kinda person i forget a lot

The Exodus

So i haven't been around for the past few days. We left camp and headed out. I cant share any logistical details about our journey but I can say it was a lot deeper than just 3 days in the woods. We went to a huge ranch one of the most beautiful places Ive ever seen by far the view was just amazing I wish I could have taken you guys with me.

One both good and bad thing God spoke to me about there was just the monster I'd been hiding in my closet. He opened that door and let it out. There is a lot of pain that I have been running from and God brought me right back. So please be praying for me as I wrestle with this. Pray for healing and that he would grow in me a new heart that is able to feel again. With my problem I buried my heart and threw it out with that I lost my intimacy with God that I'm missing.

One other thing that you guys could be praying for are my buddies. On our exodus we were assigned buddies my where Jared and Brock. Great guys on fire for God.

So I made it here all in one peace

Wow all i can say is Honolulu is beautiful. The weather is warm bit humid but just a touch. Been having some rain these past couple days Ive heard.

Anyways there are about 13 guys and 14 girls on our team. People from all over. Its amazing to see how god brought people here. I don't want to get caught up in the emotions of the "trip" but i can really feel a heart beat for God in this place. I'm really excited to see what God will do with our team it will be amazing.
