Dear Family,
By my sickness I have been very easily EMOTIONAL. I am going nuts but it is ok. I know God is working on me, cleaning my insecurities up and it is NOT EASY all the time (life this time). I have been settled back down to earth and remember to enjoy the soil once again.
I currently have received a bloody noise as I am typing this for you. Hold on.....
OK, I miss bean and cheese burritos A LOT. I miss JAMBA JUICE A LOT. I miss the beach(es) a lot.
above all I do miss you. I have not missed home like this, it is playing with my thoughts and emotion. I have to keep reminding myself that I am called to Boston and need to stay fully dedicated to this place because God would like me to party along with him here. Oh but the party is growing in days and when I sit to take a break from dancing I begin to think of you all, my friends, my family, my loved one. How it would please me to see you all once again!
My work, my play, my life, my Lover is here. He is with me and I am with Him. He is taking very good care of me and that is through some of your own personal hands and thoughts through out a day maybe.
Our Father does here all your voices whether in thought or in vocal waves, acknowledge his ears.
I recognize you all and wish the best for you.

Dear Family,
I am sick. I am dizzy and ready to throw up through the mouth or the butt. Yeah, not feeling good at all.
The good things of this week, I am beginning to act with a friend. I am so excited about this. Acting is a great thing and I am going to begin learning to become a better actor.
I have been reading a few good books. One book is called Black by Ted Dekker, Black is a well thought out book. I am impressed with the time and memory jumps within the book. Its a fun read and at the moment I would encourage anyone to read it.
Second book I am reading is a book based on the Christian history. This book goes through all of the reformer of the Church and gives a small glimpse of their theology. It is a good history lesson.
Book Three. Making Sense out of Suffering by Peter Kreeft this book is a great encouragement to me. As I read it I realize I do not need counseling, just another person seeking the answers to this crazy random awesome life.
Book Four, is by Watchman Knee The breaking of the Outer man and the releasing of the Spirit. This book is destroying me, helps me to realize how much work is still needed to be done on my heart. Its good, he talks about mental and emotional push for others agreement but that is not going to help what is needed is a spiritual touch and how that is done by the holy spirit and our spirit moving together. Its beautiful and I am eating it all up.
Yep, reading is a big part of my life at the moment and I am happy about that.
Love you all very very much.

Time is tickin away : )
Dear Family,
Things have been productive here in Boston. Art is changing and moving in to a new place that I am very glad about. I am noticing my love for juxtapose art so I am taking stencils and smoothing out the surface of my art pieces. I am very inspired at the moment by books, music and a few other artist that I have been researching.
I hope to soon get some drafts of art up soon. Keep in tune.
Thank you. Love you all.

Noticed
Dear Family,
I have great news, YWAM: BOSTON has been noticed by a few big people, a few big churches and are now being noticed by people within Boston. It is so exciting! God is on a move and we are grate full to be apart of it.
I have been realizing when i am on out reach I run more into Christians then none Christians. All the pre-christians are not read to talk yet.
I spoke with a guy, whom I believe name is Ken, he was telling me about how he thinks many people misinterpret what Jesus did for us on the cross. Jesus really died for his own sins and we (humanity) are all gods and are pure. He is in a odd place and told me that he is trying to understand how to live with the regrets of his past. He did not tell me what is wrong, he has a lot of anxiety. I comforted him with some words of encouragement and told him what I have seen of humanity and learned by Gods grace about humanity. He know the gospel but never accepted it for him self and it seemed he was not ready yet to accept it as he spoke.
Jessica, a friend from Holland spoke with a guy from Belgium, she was great full to speak to some one in dutch for the first time in awhile. The guy she spoke to is really seeking God and trying understand how to live. He and Jessica hopefully will talk soon again. Aaron spoke to the same person ad they exchanged numbers, pray for this fella.
Jessica, also prayed with a person to receive Christ. Pray he stays strong with Christ, giving and receiving love.
This last week was a good day for out reach. I am happy to have finally moved to a new place, the guys moved to a new house. It is very homey, I am in a room with three friends, next room over is another three guys, then another room on the other side is one other guy. I am really getting to know my roommates even better. : )
I woke up yesterday eager to get to know a tone of more people. Yep, I want to be the cool kid...haha NO! I just want friends!
Ok pray for my team and I, things are moving and it is exciting.
MUCH LOVE,
JORDAN

Quotes of my life...for the moment
Quotes from Making Sense Out of Suffering by Peter Kreeft,
"I get very mad at God sometimes....This is a pretty well-kept secret, especially among evangelicals and fundamentalists. I confess it not to cause scandal or to help the cause of unbelief but simply because it is true, and I believe that we always need truth just as we always need love, because those are two of the attributes of God." pg 12-13
" Still another secret, less well-kept, is that we have the same moral problem everyone else has, with a better track record only in some areas like drug addiction, murder, and suicide. But there are almost as many gluttons, gossips, adulterers, and misers among us as among anyone else, and as for the two worst sins of all, pride and hypocrisy, we set the world's record." pg 13
"The Bible the most honest book in the world, paints a terrible picture of the moral and spiritual failures of God's chosen people,the Jews, throughout their history; and Christians are their successors." pg14
"We doubt. Doubt is glorious. Only one who can doubt can believe, just as only one who can despair can hope, and only one who can hate can love." pg16
Let philosophers today pray, let philosophers shut up and let God show up, and we will soon see a new philosophy to startle the world." pg 23
I am not so crazy after all, just another human being with a heavy heart.
Good day you all,
Jordan.

Excitement!
Dear Family,
It seems to me that when I look at art, watch awesome musicians, and see great movies I quickly become filled with excitement. I know that these are ways to change thought, begin a new creative wave for others, speak truth to people and these are the things I want to do with my life. I want people to see art that will blow their minds to a new world of creativity, to hear music that will push them to new thoughts, and truth to build their lives on. I know its not my truth but Gods truth and I fear that I may misinterpret that truth at moments because I am a fallen human.
Pray for me to present a new image for art, a new expression that can ignite people to know God, love him and love others. I am sure God will use my art to speak to people about him, I am not worried. I really need prayer that my tecnique advances and I can imagine new art styles.
Ok, thanks.
Love you

This day has been great.
Dear Family,
I am relaxing enjoying the company of no body today, I am reading books, listening to sermons I put onto my ipod, looking at the trees, washing my clothes and talking with Yeshua. Its been a productive personal day, I am also hungry for pizza.... I may go get some.
Today I received a bike that needs some fix up but it looks to be a trust worthy bike. I am so stoked because I have been praying for some wheels to drive with, God gave me a bike rather then a car. I figure this is the first step towards the final goal, a car. I am so stoked!
Friday, I fully admitted to Debi (my boss) that I am fully in love with my job. I really enjoy keeping contacts with people, accounting, art, reading/studying books, and in all these things I am experiencing Gods presence. I am coming to know God more then before.
Thursday was a good art day, I sat in a dance class to do figure drawing. I stepped out side to paint an image before my eyes. Its was a great day for art. I still need to go get art supplies, yet I am easily distracted with what I already have so I sit and run low on all art supplies I've got. Haha its amazing!
Art is a beautiful thing and I get to be apart of it. Yay!
Peace out family. I am thinking much about you all.
