So last blog post I was having a pretty rough time. I’ll have to be honest though and say that God is truly an incredible and faithful God! I am no leaps and bounds better than before, but these past several weeks I have felt God revealing so much of myself to me. Unfortunately they haven’t been the good encouraging things you like to find out about yourself; rather they have been very humbling and challenging. However, God’s grace is ...

Wow, I’m very sorry… It’s been 3 weeks since my last post, and it was 2 weeks before that one. I’m really slacking off. Unfortunately I hardly have any time to write right now so it’s going to be just a brief update. So within the last three weeks we have talked about the ‘Kingdom of God’, ‘Child Development’ and ‘World View’. All of these have been full of solid material, but lecture hasn’t been speaking to me much lately. ...

So on my last post I joked about probably losing half my readers soon… I didn’t realize that I would be one of them! I apologize for those faithfully reading every week that I never got around to posting about last week, but I am changing my ways. I just realized how much I have to catch everyone up on… This will either be a very long post or a very vague one. I suppose we will just have to ...

The pressure is on right now. This is probably around the time where I lose half my readers (if I haven’t already) because everything is becoming boring and redundant. Its ok, I understand. I probably wouldn’t have made it past week two if I was a reader! Haha no, but I do feel like I should tell some stories to keep things interesting. First of all I want to thank Tyson and the crew for Summer Advance. Those trips prepared ...

What a long week it has been. This week was actually a lot lighter than the week before, but it really felt like there was so much more going on. I think everyone was getting tired this week. I know that I sure was. It was very difficult to focus and I wanted to be alone a lot. Don’t get me wrong, it was still a very fun and fruitful week, but it was challenging in different ways. We had ...

So let me tell you a little bit about what it is like to live in Lebanon. The government only provides electricity for portions of the day. When those times are is always up in the air, so you never really know whether you are going to be running on government electricity or the generator. There are generators that people use for when the electricity is turned off, but we have to be very careful when everything is running from ...

Ah! I’ve only been here in Lebanon for three days, and there’s just so much to tell! I don’t really even know where to begin so I guess I’ll just start from the very beginning. My plane was supposed to leave at 1:00pm on Thursday afternoon. I was supposed to have a three and a half hour layover in Philadelphia… that all changed. My flight out of Indy got delayed three hours and by the time we landed in Philly ...

Just soaking in the humbling but awesome truth of Romans 3:9-31 We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The poison of vipers ...

Well today I’m finishing up my first full week interning here at West Bridge Church. It has been a lot of fun so far and I’m learning a lot about what it takes to be involved in the ministry. The two big things that I have been working on are preparing for Sunday morning Jam City which starts June 5th and the summer Wednesday night Middle School program which we started last night. I have never realized how challenging it ...
