Another week done, I’ve lost count of the days here. I spent a lot of time on the phone the last day or so. Called and talked to Mom and Kyle before they left for Mexico with the church on their mission trip (building three houses, pretty sweet), talked to Ryan for a while on…
Read MoreFR: A Sort of Perspective
Well project is just past the half waypoint (was Monday) and I figure it would make sense to fill everyone in on what we are doing here and what we’ve done thus far. We’re here in France to start a movement of French students reaching out to other French students for Christ. To find the…
Read MoreFR: Another Week
Another week has past and the soil is getting harder, the top soil has washed away with the storm of our arrival and initial spirits. Satan is luring us from our plan by blinding our eyes to those who desire to be saved by He who sent us. Never in my life have I experienced…
Read MoreFR: Baptism at Eglise E-Free Toulouse
Realizing that I just posted something yesterday and that I am now doing it again but there is a good reason. Last Sunday there is little doubt that I did not enjoy my church experience (whose only highlight was Sarah VLD’s comment “The only thing cuter than old people is Japanese old people.”), and this…
Read MoreFR: First Week Completed
We’ve made it through the first week of project work. Four days of surveying students and evangelism, a day of hanging out with new friends and meeting new people at the prairie des filtres. I was really glad to see Camille show up and she complimented me on my awesome water balloon tossing skills (Andrea…
Read MoreFR: Paul-Sabatier
There is no way to expressed how blessed our team is, and how blessed I feel to be here. I am the least of those who are on this project and I am in awe of the work that He is doing through us. Today we had our second day of evanglism and it’s amazing…
Read MoreFR: After a Few Days
Well it’s now been a couple days and I feel so at home. Like I’ve lived here for years (although at times I stumble on the language but I know more then enough to get by and to have some quazi-in-depth conversations) and it’s really only been 3-4 days. We did the tourist stuff already…
Read MorePoetry: Like a Blue Bird
If a blue bird could sing a song as sweet, As the one you did, when you spoke to me. Maybe I would learn, hang on every note and word, to later silently relive the beauty of what was heard. But like the bird you left filling my heart with regret, leaving me sitting here…
Read MoreThank You
In all my life I have never seen my life so clearly, I am standing just inside the door and am fully engulfed in the Love and grace the God is pouring down on me. I am soaking up the life he is giving me until even my lips are moist with the truth. A…
Read MoreTwisted souls lay resting
Resting here is a twisted soul. Whose muscles are pulled and bound as painfully as a never-ending ill intended courtship. Whose eyes are burnt red from reading into the word set before, sitting recessed hoping to rest, while looking deeper than you wish them to. An exhausted mind looses hold of thoughts as seasons to…
