More life

The last few days, there has been a tech fast. I am glad for it as well. If you can take your ear buds out for a little while, I can guarantee that you can find peace in the quiet. Also seeking the Lord and His word will be more wonderful. Thanksgiving is going to be weird not being home for that since I have never been without my family on the holidays. Christmas is going to be weird too. I also won't be home for a few birthdays and that is hard for me. However, life isn't about me. I am here for a reason and even though I miss my family and friends, I am glad to be here. Here is a picture of my intern team.

Life Here

             So, This time I'm going to tell what is happening here. A few weeks
ago, there was a pastor's conference and that went very well, even though we
were all running around doing everything that happens behind the scenes. No
body sees us doing what we do but, that doesn't matter because I know one
who does and that's all that matters. We all had fun throughout the process
but, it was strenuous. After the conference we cleaned up all the rooms and
got a few others things done. Now, there isn't much work to be done but, there
is still some things to do. Since there isn't much, we went out into town to pass
out bibles and tracks. People take them gladly but, I don't know if what we are
doing is actually helping. However, that is not for me to know, God knows what
goes on and all I have to do is trust He will reach those people. He is capable of
doing more than that though. Later my team and I just went around town and
talked, looked in shops, and talked with some people. It was nice to be out in
town even though I personaly don't like going out. I acually like staying home
and doing things there, not that I am afraid to go out, I just feel I can do more
good at home. It's hard to believe that a month and a half has gone by. It will be
hard to leave here but, it is going to happen so no reason to fight it. This
doesn't apply to every situation though. There are things that should be fought
for.
            Thank you all for your prayers and support.
            Praise God for all He does.

Praise God for His soldiers who are willing to do the work joyfully.

Listen

    Proverbs 23:19 "Hear, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the way."
    I've pondered this verse for a while now and by thinking about it, it showed me how unwilling I am to not listen. To go with what I think should be done instead of listening to others and what they have to say. I wasn't extreme about my way but, wasn't listening either. Then there's the part about guiding my heart in the way. Honestly, when I first read it. I thought is said "the right way" not "the way". I have always heard it said that Jesus is "the way". I believe this as well. So once the correction was made it made more sense to me. So, I am to listen more and read more about "the way" (Jesus).
    That is what I am going to do.
    Praise God for His word.
    Things are going good by the way. I do miss my family back home and it brings me to tears when I think of them. I love them very much and all they have taught me always comes to mind throughout every day. I praise God for my family. It's difficult not being with them. However, I am a soldier and will press on for the glory of God!

Life

       Romans 6:8-10    8"Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God."
       Many people want eternal life, or youth, but are unwilling to go to God for it. Some say " I don't want to be bogged down by all the rules and traditions" or " I don't want to have to change the way I live." These are sad reasons to not want to live forever. Some of them just say that God doesn't exist which is not true, He does exist and the evidence is very convincing! When I die or the Lord takes me home, I will live forever! How awesome is that! All you who read this ask yourself if the same is true of you. If yes, Praise God! However, if you can't say that it is true of you then all you have to do is ask Jesus into your heart. He is waiting to come in but, He will never force His way on you. I ask you to ask Him in, because I want to see you in Heaven :) I want the whole world to come to heaven.
       I'm going to pray for those who don't yet have Jesus.
       Praise God for life eternal!
