It is time for us to rise up and stop talking, and start doing... What would it look like if we actually lived in accordance to what we are talking about!? Imagine with me REAL LOVE... Love for each other, no matter who there are, where they come from, what they believe, or where they've been... If we honestly want to be Christians ("exhibiting a spirit of proper to a follower of Jesus Christ; Christlike"), that is if we were PASSIONATELY PURSUING to be LIKE JESUS, this love would be a reality... I too am lost in a faux reality, in which sleeping is accepted... But I long to be awake...
I can't believe it's come so quickly, but in only 16 short days James, Lucas, and myself will be heading off to Eastern Canada to awaken ourselves, and hopefully a few others along the way... Skillet said it best when they said, "where faith and fear collide"... The feeling of anticipation is hard to explain... I am so excited to work with Kirk from August 1-21, but at the same time, so frightened as this is way out of my comfort zone... Join us on this experience as we approach, and embrace 3 weeks of street ministry in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island... Something none of us has truly tried out before... We are excited to have Shenstone behind us (not to mention the 3 other trips this summer!) as we reach outside our walls to touch our country, and our world!! No matter where we come from we are lost, we are sinners... But by the GRACE and LOVE of GOD we are set free, and only hope to bring that LOVE and TRUTH to every person we come in contact with...
Please be praying for us as while as the other missions efforts departing from Shenstone this year (Brooklyn, NY and Tijuana, Mexico)!!
"I tell you the truth, anyone who has FAITH in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father" - John 14:13-14
Do you believe it?
