Thinking over the title of this blog
I can’t believe how appropriate it has been for the last three years. Every time I take a step, I start thinking about the next one. Someday, I’d like the next step to last more than a year or two.

I don’t even have the words.
This week has been amazing. God is really pouring out his love and power into us as we approach these last few weeks before outreach. For an awesome example of this, I refer you to Angela’s blog on Blessings. Earth Care had a fun afternoon learning some more conversational Khmer, and praying for each members…

Ok, Lord. Bring it on.
Last Friday, I gave my life to Jesus. I don’t mean salvation. That happened years ago. I mean the continual process of laying down my rights to my self and just living in obedience to the King of Kings. We are a product of the decisions we make. The most important? Who will be the…

Hamner Springs
The weekend activity last weekend was to a place called Hamner Springs. I was expecting more like natural hot springs, but it was more like a water park with warm water in all the pools. And, my new camera is water proof!

A Prayer in Wonder
Is this really you God? This is the answer I want. You never give me answers like this. This is not the way you usually answer this prayer. There’s so much I don’t know about a great many things. I’m sure this must just be me. What do I know? I generally want things that…

Second, we’ve had Rus Alit here from Bali, Indonesia, to teach us about appropriate technology. All he does…

What are you going to be learning in New Zealand? I have to say, up until two days ago, I wasn’t sure myself. I knew of course that YWAM would be teaching Bible centered Christian theology. But, I didn’t know how to describe the content of that teaching. And then one of our speakers said…

Small Update
I don’t have much of an update today, other than. Yesterday, I started feeling a bit unwell. Mostly it’s just my throat, but I’ve been feeling a bit achy as well. This is frustrating because it takes a lot of effort for me to be able to socialize with new people under normal circumstances, but…

YWAM is awesome!
It’s hard to believe I’ve only been here for a little over a week. I’ve never been more sure that I’m in exactly the place I’m supposed to be. This last week, classes have covered general housekeeping details and have opened up dialog about personal devotionals, what worship is, prayer, and what it means to…
