Word of God

I’ve been doing so awesome lately.  This week I learned about the character of God and last week was God our Father week. My heart is so hungry for growing more with Jesus.  I love Him so much.  I’ve been reading through the new testiment.  I started with phillipians and I’ve read the books up to revelations.  I’ll be starting that tomorrow.  Then i’ll read Matthew up to ephesians.  I’m just so excited reading the Word of God.  I’ve been also reading a book called “The Heavenly Man”.  Its been so awesome.  The book is about a pastor from China and all the persecution he’s been through.  I’ve been doing awesome though.  I love Jesus so much.  I would appreciate prayer.  Thank you so much.

So yesterday was such an awesome day.  I was able to just relax and enjoy Gods creation.  Different groups were out doing weekend activities and i was able to do my laundry, spend time with Jesus and do a bit of crocheting.  I’ve been working on making a tam. Later after dinner i went to my leaders Benny and Lindsy’s house and they dreaded my hair.  Four and a half hours later i had dreadlocks.  Last night was really good though.  A great time of fellowship.  One of the things i learned this week is to take time to be still.  Going somewhere to spend time with Jesus and just listen to Him. We are human Beings.  Not human doings.  Thats a funny way to put it but i want to be able to just be able to sit in God’s creation and just be still and listen to Him.  Its awesome.  Today has been an amazing day too.  I go to this local baptist church down the road on weekends.  The people there are so nice and friendly.  They have joy written all over there faces.  The messages there are pretty awesome as well.  They go right along with where my heart is at.  Being so hungry for God and growing in him intimately.  I love Jesus so much.  He is so amazing.  I would like to thank everyone and they’re prayers.  I also need some prayer on financial help.  I’m going to need to raise more money.  My outreach is in thailand and my funds are short some.  So prayer there would be awesome.  I would also like prayer for the people I build friendships with and the people i meet.  That God’s light would shine brighter than ever.  I have a heart for people and showing them Christ’s love.    Thank You all for all the prayers.  I really appreciate them.

Christchurch

I’m so blessed by Jesus each day. When i wake up my first words have to be giving thanks to my creator. I love him so much and have been drawing closer when i spend time with him. I’ve been reading through the new testiment. I started wtih Philipians and and have been going book by book. This morning i read Peter’s Gospal. I’ve been learning through the letters of Paul how much he loved Jesus. Paul really walked with the Lord. He was so adiment about how imported our relationship with Jesus is. I dont understand how a person sitting in prison writing letters to the different churches can stay encouraged and past His circumstances. Paul is so awesome. I just get so excited when reading stuff like this. God has been so awesome to me though. I’m so excited about the rest of today. I’m going into Christchurch for the skateministy tonight. I appreciate the prayers.

This weekend was amazing.  I read the book “the God Chasers” by Tommy Tenny which was pretty awesome.  THere was a lot of cool things to think about and apply in my life.  The main idea in the book was having intimacy with Christ and being hungry for him.  Reading the book really gave me a different outlook in what God desires for our relationship with Him.  This weekend i went to the Christchurch skatepark.  That has been the ministry i’ve been involved with the past few weeks.  Kids are starting to get to know me and i’m being blessed with the opportunity to get to know them.  Part of ministry is allowing others to get to know you.  May I be salt and light to the world where they will see Jesus in me.  I’m looking forward to the kids their being able to open up about there home life and allowing to share to them about mine.  Listening is huge.  This weekend was awesome though.  I’m so hungry for more and more of Jesus. I really am excited in furthering and pursuing hard after Jesus.  I love Him so much and am understanding He is the very reason I love people.  I have a heart for the Lost.  This is one of the kids i met.  He’s really awesome and real.  Not fake.  I appreciate all the prayers and support from my friends and family back home in the states.
