Freedom of speech is awesome

Those that live in America are extremely blessed! We have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, amazing! God is so good! I just read a book about a guy who was imprisoned in Iran for 9 weeks. Not only did the book get me stoked to fall in love with Jesus so much that it doesn't matter if I get imprisoned or not, but it got me deeply thankful for the amazing blessing that we have in simple things like being able to talk about our relationship with God anywhere in America!

God also asked me to fast from speaking for 5 hours today. It was the hardest fast I've ever done! If anyone knows me in person, they know that I like to talk about Jesus a lot! Cause He's so awesome! The crazy thing is that when you're trying not to talk, God teaches you even more about himself! And the more you learn the more you want to tell people! And then God just creates this hunger inside you to tell the whole world about him! Oh GOD! TO PROCLAIM THE WONDERS OF YOUR HOLY NAME!

It seems that only once we have our freedoms taken away are we truly able to enjoy the fullness of them. Thank God that we EVER get to talk about how awesome He is.

Worship Duty

When we think of worship, I normally think of intense praise in the form of music. There might be some people dancing, a few people on their knees, and most people probably with their hands raised at least as high as their belly button.

The awesome thing that God has really been showing me is that everything we do can be worship unto God! The way we love each other, the way that we do our schoolwork, the way that we play sports, the way we spend all our of free time.

The coolest thing is that we get to do 2 hours of work every day as a part of our DTS learning experience. And its not actually work, its worship! And what better way to feel closer to Jesus than to actually do what Jesus did! For Jesus came not to be served but to serve!

So have a great time living a lifestyle of worship! And the greatest part is, that means we can enjoy dying to ourselves and loving our enemies just as much as our favorite worship service. Pretty Rad!

Thailand and Cambodia!

By the way, I'm going to Thailand for 3 weeks, and then to Cambodia for 9 weeks for outreach! It's going to be really exciting, and God is totally gonna show up in massive ways!


So far we know that we will be:

• teaching english
• helping out the orphans
• doing street dramas and worship concerts
• helping and encouraging the local missionaries
• And much more! God full of fun!

If you could pray for the following I would be so stoked and very thankful:

• The soil to be ripe for the harvest in Thailand and Cambodia
• Unity in our class and outreach team
• More divine inspiration for ideas to reach out during outreach
• For a continued motivation to reach out while in Kona
• Continued wisdom and love from the leadership
• To be eternally minded in everything that we do
• Guidance for the leaders and kids

Happy Mother's day!

This is such a great day, we get to celebrate the amazing gift that mothers have been to us from God! I hope that everyone is able to have the joy of giving their moms an amazing day!

I have really been learning a lot about the importance of the family, and I'm so stoked about the body of Christ! I'm seeing how with Jesus we seriously have family all around the world, united with one heart, one mind, one spirit and one body!

God has totally healed me of all of the rejection and all of the judgment that has resulted from that. He's totally told me that no matter what I do, or where I go, that I am still loved just as much. And even when I hate him he still loves me the same exact amount. That truly is some crazy love that He has for us! It's amazing that when we find our identity in God love's and not our actions, its so much easier to love ourselves and love others!

I hope everyone is enjoying the things I write about, if anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to comment!
