I have finished a few books. Starting a few new ones (Atonement is one of them!).

Hi,

I have not be getting the funds to continue with Youth with A Mission. If you know anyone who can and would support a missionary monthly please give them my information and contact me ASAP. I have barely enough to pay rent but not enough to get food, travel, and get art supplies.

I need 500 dollars to be able to live and do the work God has placed in my hands comfortably. Please if you could financially support my work with Youth with A Mission I would appreciate it. Please pray about supporting me monthly 15 dollars or any amount that you are willing to give.


Thanks.

Hi,

I would like to ask you all to be in prayer for my base because a lot of us are going through some changes in our spirits, thoughts and emotions. Our base has allowed the spirit of God come into our hearts to reveal scary secrets that God has desired us to be freed from.

I am seeing people healed by God. My friend and I are praying every night before we sleep for God to empower us for change and satisfaction to come from him.

We are children of God and holding firmly onto this truth.

Dear Family,

My heart is being changed by Gods presence. My emotions and thoughts are that of a bipolar monster but my spirit is one of a training sports man. I am not perfect but heading in the direction of perfection which is to be in the presence of God.

I have been reaching out randomly on my own recently. I sit and remember the grace of God in my life and the love that has been placed upon my mind and heart to love others. There is hope, tho I feel I do not express much of it the truth is deep inside my heart that there is hope.

I am seeing people come to know God and to experience his presence.


Have a goodnight.

Random events in my life that made me laugh over the last week.

*I was walking down the hall in my house to a closet near the kitchen to pick up my snow boots. As I bent to pick them up I did not realize how close I was to the corner of the wall until my forehead hit the corner allowing a shocking pain wake me up. It was funny after a moment of repeated "ouch".

*I was on the bus back to my house. I saw a dirty, smelly old man walk on to the bus and stand next to the back door. Suddenly from the back of the bus comes a women with a mask over her mouth, rubber gloves covering her hands fasten on her wrist with Velcro, layers of jackets and jeans, and rubber rain boot. She had to be diagnose with a Germophobia or Mysophobia. She walked and stood right next to this man who was dirty and smell. I then thought to myself "What a beautiful world". Seeing these two polar opposites stand beside each other filled me with hope and laughter for our strange humanity.


* I wrote to my friend guess instead of guest. Very difficulty word to grasp.

* My friend left for a week to spend time in Florida with his parents while he was there he left his tuck in the back of a parking spot which i guess was our neighbors drive way. A blizzard hit Boston which means the snow plows began to run. A snow plow or our neighbor snowed-in my friends truck. I then thought I would be nice and break the wall of snow down for my friend. I did break the wall of snow and some snow went into this mans area of the drive way but nothing that I would think to be bother-some. I left to be with some friends came back to find the wall of snow back up blocking my friends truck but this time there was a sign. On the sign read "Do not put snow on my drive way. If you do this again I will break your front window and through snow into your front seats." I became angry wondering why this threat was necessary when there is only one way out of the drive way which the snow then his car is blocking, what a rude person. I do not understand it so now I laugh.


*I am house sitting for a friend and he owns some cats. This morning I woke up with them laying next to me. One was laying against my knees the other against my stomach. It was 9 0'clock. I was so comfy that I slept longer.

*I woke up to the cats and it was 12 0'Clock. I then realized it was time to defiantly get up. I woke the cats up and Bella gets up stares at me then walks up to my face rubes it with her face then her body then to her tail with that came a rub of her fart in my face! I gasped then died.

* Oh ya, how I shoveled the snow wall for my friends truck to get out was with a POT. Then I heat up some water filled a big white bucket, poured it over the snow thinking it will melt it and it did jack! I then used the white bucket to shovel to snow wall down.

These are some of my funny events. Thanks for reading.

Dear Friends and family.

I have been alone the last few days. I realize how quickly my mind goes into things that get me frustrated and angry so easily. I think of the past, things people had said to me, the hypocrisy I see in others, how there is injustice in everything, why I cant speak up about how I feel or think. These thoughts are terrible and tearing me up inside as I sit alone. I dislike it and I need to be on guard consistently towards this victimized, justice, criminal, revengeful thought pattern in my mind.

I share this with you because I need help. By help, I mean prayer. I ask God "why these thoughts?". He response differently to me each time I ask him and the same response when I am in a place of thought he and I have already visited. He speaks to me "You're a broken spirit" (he says this with a compassionate voice, that shows me he is ready to receive me as I am). He said to me once and reminds me "this is your thorn in the side and I will not heal you because my grace is sufficient. Once you desire me and not your perfected image then the thorn may leave but until then search for me and I will love you". Sometimes he response with silence which I would say is the most painful response because I cant tell if he is near or far. I trust in these moments he is listening and waiting for me to calm down and rest in his presence.


There is a beautiful story I was once told. "There was a wife and a husband. The wife would come home to her husband pissed off, yelling at him about how she is disappointed with him and her life. She would clam he did not love her. The husband will listen walk around the house making the house fit her so she could be comfortable. He would be fixing a meal for her as she pouts, then he grabs a cup fills it with orange juice and hands it over to her. She drinks it and then begins to calm down, rest, and apologize for all the things she said. He sits with her and cares for her and understands she has a disease that makes her act this way. He loves her and is patient with her" This is my relationship with God and it maybe yours too. I knew as soon as I heard this story that it was God and his treatment towards me.

Jesus deeply love me and I love him back. Try to at least.

We are deeply loved by God. We may be wolves to one another and slowly repenting of this animal instinct but God is never a wolf, he is a gentle lamb.
He is lovely.

Dear Family and friends,

I am grateful to announce that God takes care of his creation. God takes care of his children. God takes care of his Kingdom. God takes care of the cosmos, the universes around us that are unseen. God takes care of the chaos in our world. God takes care of our economy. God takes care of the air flowing in and out of your lungs as you read this note. God takes care of the sick, the poor, the needy, the insecure, the meek, the just and unjust. God takes care of us who are in need of him and allows him into the depth of our selves and our surroundings.


I am grateful for this God of the universe, this God of peace and comfort, this sovereign God that reins over all creatures of the sea, land, and air. This God that may have the power to create and erase existence. He may have wrath and fire but he comes to us in the power of lowly, meek, humbleness. A king that kneels.

This is our God, this is our king, our savior. Sovereign and mighty. Our wisdom nearly touches his foolishness.

Romans 11:33-36 (The Message)

33-36Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out.

Is there anyone around who can explain God?
Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do?
Anyone who has done him such a huge favor
that God has to ask his advice?

Everything comes from him;
Everything happens through him;
Everything ends up in him.
Always glory! Always praise!
Yes. Yes. Yes.

Selah


Job 1:21
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised.”

I adore thee, I adore thee,
may my existence be to know thy name.
