The View From Our Exodus Campsite

A wonderful Summation of what actually went on. Read into this as much as you wish.


And here is a little flash back of my own exodus

And yes even though its dangerous we still jump off perfectly good water falls

Hot DANG!!

been quite a while...

As usual, when my life gets busy I start dropping the ball on communication.

So far I have been back to visit my family in California for two weeks. A new school, has arrived and I have had the privilege of going on a introductory camping trip with them all; its called exodus.

Photos soon to come.

In short god has been doing so much in my life as usual.

He truly is real and as of late i have begun to know Him in a way that I have never known before.

In the beginning God is an acquaintance: you get to know him, introduce yourself perhaps. Then, friendship: you hang out more regularly and realize how cool of a person He is. Next, you may move to the idea that your rather fond of the person of God: Then He introduces you to this girl, her name is Wisdom. You are rather nervous at first realizing how cute she is and exchange numerous lingering glances. As you warm up to Her, you see all the qualities of Christ in Her. The word of the Lord echos off the walls of your heart, bouncing - I was with God in the beginning, through me He made the heavens and the earth. Secretly, you begin to spend more time with her, calling her to hang out, maybe coffee or maybe something more.. And then, in one still moment of intimacy stolen in a very crowded room she whispers in your ear... I love you.. Your heart skips a beat: what is captured in a second seems so long a period of time as the awkward and ill-timed words," Me too" trip out of your mouth. Her smile then turning into a hand covered giggle of both excitement and understanding at your now completely stumbled words of acceptance and reciprocation. You want to marry her, her and no other.

Welcome to my life with the Lord so far, a bit rushed in the eyes of most but all the more my life to live for eternity. I wish I could tell you were this is going to go, but isn't that mystery just like the Lord to give?

The Holidays

It has been over a month since my last post. Which is far, far, to long. God and I have been doing so many things that free time has been in short supply. Through it all God has been showing himself faithful, caring, and oh so hilarious.

Thanksgiving;
80 people = 160 pounds of turkey, 35 pounds of stuffing, 40 pounds of mashed potatoes, and 30 pounds of sweet potatoes. We simultaneously cooked 8 turkeys in different ovens, house, and even towns! Let me say that I am now a thanksgiving master and yes.... I am more than willing to do it again.

4 day weekend;
A bunch of guys and I decided that the long weekend was a glorious opportunity to do some good old fashioned camping. I say old fashioned because we kind of forgot simple things like.. a grill, fire wood, food.. Although the out look seemed a little grim, it was the best time I have had camping. We were up in the beutiful poli poli recreational park on the south side of the local valcano.

here is where we slept

We hiked and goofed-off like only men can do for two whole days. Priceless memories and definitely no pictures *wink*

Christmas;
I am going to be in California on December 18th - 3rd of January. I have no idea what I will be doing so call me up and we will go from there.

God Bless

The Waterfall

Some have been asking to see the waterfall specifically... So here is a picture.

Living Life

God has continued to be faithful to me. Over and over again He comes and provides in each situation of need. Thank you all for your prayers and support. As of today I have every debt paid. And I am relying on God for continued insurance payments as the months of recovery and eventual surgery are on the horizon.

I also have been considered as DTS staff for the winter quarter. Which means I will have the opportunity to be placed in charge of a team to disciple and eventually take overseas.

Your prayers and support are the only reason that I am so healthy, so well provided for and so positive. God is with His people. He is with you as you pray to Him. We have not because we ask not. Prayerlesness is something that He has been convicting me on in these past weeks. God is the only one who can change a man's heart. He alone can change a hopeless situation around. I have been so broken in this area of my life. Do you love your family enough to actually change their lives for the better? Will you fight for your friends who are going through a ruff time? Will you rely on the sole provider of your life for all the things that you need?

I worry about money, drama in my family, painful situation with friends; God stands opposite with His promises having altready been spoken - I will never leave you nor forsake you: I will give you the desires of your heart: I will work out ALL things for the good of those that love me.

"So do you trust me?" God asks. My response was a scared and painful," yes." And here I am having all that I need.

What do you choose?

God Is Really There

Its been only 4 weeks

But God Is faithful and His mercies are truly new everymorning.

Here I am

So there was an accident

Last Friday me and the guys were going on a midday excursion to the jungles of Maui. I happened upon a waterfall and while trying to jump decided to trip and fall about 20 feet. Pin-balling on the way down.





Everything has gone great! I need serious help however with prayer financial provision. Insurance is being difficult and because of being asked to live this life by God i have no money to pay for anything with.

God has been teaching me so many things through this time, but because of my wrist its super hard to type anything. please please call me. 714 454 7332
