Do As You Will

This is Winston. As you can tell, his favorite worship song is 'Do as You Will'... :)

Ah, Watermellons.

Soon and Very Soon

Hey y'all! (I think that I'm entitled to say y'all now that I've lives in the south for almost a month) Anywho, I've been in Virginia Beach for almost a month now, and I'm kind of sad that time is going by so quickly. I've also enjoyed seeing how God can use me if I make my self available and step out in faith -- pretty darn cool. This week is called Killing the Giants Week and there are many a giant to kill. We were toset a goal of how many people we want to initiate spiritual conversations with, how many times we will present the gospel message, and a personal Giant. I thought that my goals were kind of lofty, but God is showing me that I can't even dream as big as He can do. I'm amazed at what a litte faith can do.

Aside from God blowing up my mind, I'm having a stellar time with all of the awesome people that I'm meeting here. I also have a feeling that I'll be doing a lot more as soon as the boot comes off and the longboard comes... more pictures will happen too.


My roommates and community here are awesome. You'll have to meet them sometime! This Cam, he's aweso





















This one is Curtis. He's also pretty dope fo' sho'. More pictures of roommates will come shortly.
















This one is April, she's not my roommate... but she's awesome as well! Oh, she's holding Igor, out pet lizard.


















Josh. 'Nuff said.

Workin' Fool

Hey y'all!




I'm a workin' fool these days! Project went from super busy with activities to super super busy with work and activities, but I sure am thankful for my Wednesdays off! Tonight is Date Night with Jesus and Prayer and Praise! I'm pretty stoked to have this quite time and stuff to just chill, blog, write letters, and praise Jesus. It's awesome. Project seems to be treating me well so far, but I'm feeling like Bilbo Baggins at the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring -- butter scaraped over too much bread. It's all good! I'll find my rest once I get used to the schedule. I alxo need to take more pictures, but I have a few... like the view inside the Bas A** Coffee, where I, along with other Project goers, have made my hangout when in need of the internets and a cup of jo.


















Family Barbeque!!











This is Marissa. She likes chicken.









So, I'm having a stellar time on Project so far! Check back later for more pictures, insight, and event detailing! I'm late for a descipleship meeting! Gotta gogogo!!!

On The Road Again

VA Beach Not-So-Bummin'!

So, we arrived in Virgnina Beach about five days ago,and I haven't blogged before now! I'm sorry, my avid followers! Haha. When I arrived I was super nervous about meeting all these new people, getting roommates, and getting a job on crutches not to mention the reckless driving ticket that I got on the way down here... that was just me being dumb and driving way too fast becasue I was tired. Oh well, God will do what He wants with this situation!

Just to let you all know, I was super stressed on the first couple of days, and I really thought that I wanted to go home. I wasn't trusting God to take care of everything, and I was very anxious about getting a job, the ticket, and trying to survive project on crutches. I wasn't being faithful to put it short and I guess bitter.

God TOTALLY provided for me! On the first day of job hunting in the second place that I visited I landed a job. The store is Sunsations that it's a gift-like shop along Atlantic Avenue, and the manager's name is Angie. She's super nice, and my roommate Nate and I could tell that God was working in her heart for her to give me that job as a cashier. Praise the Lord!!! I start work tomorrow morning at 8, and I'm still a little nervous about learing the register. None of that matters when the Lord of the universe is on my side.

Until I post again!

Broken, Tired, and Ready

I'm leaving for Virginia Beach in roughly three days. My foot and ankle are broken, my support hasn't come in completely, and I'm really uncertain as to how this is all going to work out, but I must remain faithful and remember that He works all things for our good.

God has really been working on me ever since I got accepted to this SummerProject. I haven't even arrived and I've gone through more trials now that I ever have in my life, but I know that my God has it all under control. Even though some things that are going on right now could be a little discouraging, I see them as a blessing. For some reason He is allowing me to go through a lot, and that must mean that I'm doing something right if it keeps happening. All-in-all I'm ready for the real summer to start.

Bring it on.
