| you wouldnt believe the past week for me. So... the last rodeo at camp i ended up hurting my knee from the dumb staff calf after it completely dominated us. And of course i sucked it up thinking it was just bruised, but after i came to Philli it kept getting worse and worse so my mother took me to the emergency room, after waiting 4 hours and recieving an x-ray they stated nothing was fractured, but there may be a problem with the tendon or miniscus. So they refered us to a doctor who could give us an MRI, so we made an appointment and after waiting another 3 hours he states, well why dont you come back tommorrow and I'll take the MRI. It could be sprained, bruised or something could be really wrong. After repeatidly requesting to take it that day, he states well im going out of town tommorrow so maybe you should come back next week...knowing that i will be gone on Monday. I was fluster, to say the very least, so, i walked out and said forget it. The official update on the knee is i dont know and i don't care right now, even though that is an unwise and slightly ridiculous choice. I will get it check out when i get back from Guimaca. Please pray that it wont bother me to badly. Its in an immobilizer right now and i will take it with me incase i continue to have problems. I cannot bend it more than about 35 degrees and it is filled with fluid. I finally got my yellow card and all my shots completed. And for any of you going out of the country. Shots are ridiculously expensive and you should really be prepared atleast 6 months ahead of time. I am going through a loop because i was not prepared. Today i recieved seven shots and had to pay over 450.00. And thats without the malaria medicine and antibiotics i have to pick up this afternoon. I think i am going to help jumpstart a program of information when i get back for those of you who will go in the future. Or maybe delegate that to someone in Andrews.
On another note:
I have been with my family for the past week and I am completely broken over them. God is constantly reminding me (although for some of you this may be cliche) that my satifaction does not some from my families approval of me or my beliefs/lifestyle/passions (all inclusive:: a life sumbitted to Christ). I feel as though i am having culture shock going from an amazing Godly community to a completely wordly atmosphere where if there is any declaration of salvation their beliefs are completely scewed and unbiblical. I beg you... Please stop right now and pray for my family.
I leave this monday friends... please continue to keep me in your prayers. I will be keeping you updated on this site and if i decided to use the teote site i will let you know on here. You can check out Corey and Bobby on www.teote.com PLease be praying for them on their mission with God. Also be praying for these missionaries: Loren James (LJ):: Peru, Nate Branson:: Slovakia, Carrie Stallings :: Spain, Steve Undercofler:: unknown, and Mandy Perkins:: Honduras. | | |
| So it is officially official. I leave August 14th at 11am for Guimaca Honduras to work at Orphanage Emmanuel for the semester!!! I am so ecxited to see what God has in store for me! This summer has been absolutely amazing here at snowbird. God has grown me physically, mentally and spiritually. God has taught me alot about true fellowship and community with other believers and more importantly that the number one call God has on my life is to be conformed into His image. As i have been studying through 1 Peter and 1 John i continue to see the same message being brought. To suffer in the flesh (to deny yourself of your selfish desires) and be obedient to CHrist by practicing righteousness and pursuing the very nature and character of God. Read 1 John 3:3-6, this is one of the most convicting, yet encouraging passages that God has been using in my life. To realize that God requires all of us. That as sinful man, we are deprived and wretched, but God loves us and desires to have an intimate love relationship with you and I. We need to get serious in our lives in relation to our obedience to CHrist. We need to understand how much God HATES sin. He can have no part of it. During missions camp this summer we taught on Pragmatism. The "get as much as you can by doing as little work as possible mentality". It has been amazing how God has been teaching not only the students, but the staff as well to get out of this pragmatic mindset that our culture has engrained in us and be transformed into the mind of Christ. I am so excited to know that I serve a God who not only shows me love and mercy, but displays his justice and wrath in my life as well. To know that i serve the one and only God who is unchanging! Who pursues me! Who loves me! Who calls me to himself! not just me but us! | | |
| No matter what i do, say or feel, God is and will always be Soverign. He is control through all of our circumstances. God has been working amazing things in my life lately and in the lives around me. As i look at peoples lives invcluding my own, at the place i am, preparing for ministry i am encouraged more and more every day. I witness genuine hearts and authentic friends. People who are willing to share and pray for every part of my life and their own. I am stoked to see how God is going to use us (staffers) this summer. I am praying for you all and our joint ministry this summer.

| Eph 4:1-7
"Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift."
My heart aches, my soul crys and spirit breaks when their is disunity within the body of Christ. We as believers are called to "walk in a manner worthy of our calling" yet why is there disunity so often within the body of believers. I have seen so much disunity in the last week that all i can do is fall on my face and pray in faith that God would take care of everything. As we approach each other in love and concern, in gentleness and humility i can not understand why reconciliation is not occuring. As long as we allow the flesh to control our actions, our emotions, and our feelings we cannot glorify Christ. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. We are "one body, one Spirit" But why don't we act like it sometimes. It breaks my heart to witness this in the lives of believers. I ask that we ALL examine our hearts and allow God to break us of our "rights". Our right to say what we think, our right to push our agendas, our right to pride. WE HAVE NO RIGHTS IN CHRIST! WE NEED TO LAY OURSELVES DOWN! When we are weak Christ will be strong in us! We need to hide behind Christ and allow Him to take over. We need only to be the reflection of the son! I love you all and i pray that God would not just be a priority on our list, But that He would be the reason we exist...He IS our life, lets show the world by our love for one another. | | |
