summer in review

This summer has been one of the biggest growing experiences in my life. A lifetime of memories in one summer. I came here with an open mind, an open heart and striving to learn more about God. I will be leaving with a mind that wants to know even more and a heart that wants to help the world see the hope and love that Jesus has shown me and more knowledge of the Bible in this one summer than my whole life.


One of the ways I have grown the most this summer is that I have a new found passion for reading the Bible. With this passion I am going to continue to read more and use the scripture I learn and apply it to what I teach others. I am so filled with the Spirit, that I want to tell all that I see about what I've learned. There is no time like the present, I want to share this now.

This summer I had the scariest experience of my life. I was in a near death car crash. It started out as a normal day.
My friend Alan and I were driving to San Quentin, MX to bring ramps to a skate event for some Mexican youth we were teaching. On our way I feel asleep and I woke up to the car flipping through air. My mind was racing, I thought I was going to die. After the car stopped rolling I looked at Alan and saw that he was unconscious next to me. First thing in my mind was that I needed to get him out of the car and keep him awake. So I unbuckled him, pulled him out of the car, and carried him away from the wreck. I set him on the ground with his head in my lap trying to keep him awake. It took about 45 minutes for the ambulance to get there but thankfully it arrived. Driving away from the accident I just was amazed I was still alive and realized that we were in God's hands. That night I sat there and thanked God for my life and I realized that I should value my life more.

Going into this summer I came with big passions and big dreams, but that's all they were. In the beginning of this summer I opened up to only a few people sharing things that I don't usually tell people. Then I met this girl that not only shared my passions and my dreams but has a the biggest heart for people that I have ever seen. She has given me words to speak into kids lives and she has given words that have spoken into my life as well. She supports me and encourages me everyday and I am more than greateful and thankful to have even met her. When I look at her I see Christ in her eyes, everything about her draws me to my Creator. She truly is a gift from God. I know I am going to live my passions and my dreams out loud now.

Prayer requests:
-Pray for Alan and his recovery
-Opportunities to share what I have learned
-My DTS
-My recovery from the accident

Sorry i havent been able to update this the last couple days but i am going to update it now. We are in cycle 3 with my church from Sacramento and the juarez orphanage and it has been so awsome this past week. I have some really good talks with people and i have some awsome storys to share. but first a little of what we have been doin on outreach is we are working with juan and kerry helping them paint there church and building the foundation for a wall. They are an awsome couples and there hearts are totally for god. We have formed a good relationship with them =) i do need some prayer on guidance,,like where God wants me to go in the world.

Goodnight everone =) and god bless....mabey i should try and update this like everyday

my off days

I want to tell everyone what God has put on my heart this past couple days. This last couple days I got a vision to serve the world. I want to take a one way plane ticket to Spain and hike to Asia spreading Gods word along the way and i want to create disciples in the nations. I am still praying about this though but i feel that this was strongly put on my heart. I want to live my life as a missionary and I want to be constantly serving jesus in every nation.

This past couple days off have been very relaxing. Full of watching movies and hanging out with all the staff. I also have had the pleasure of seeing a cross cultural wedding. the countrys were austrailia and mexico whitch was really cool and the speaker was so funny I cant say why though. They did have some really good food at the wedding we had tamales and chicken it was so good. Tommorrow is the first day of the third cycle and we are going to be doing mission adventures for an orphanage and my church so i am excited for that. I am glad to have the oppertunity to serve not only my church but an orphanage to.

Tonight we played soccer and Joel beat me in soccer. He wanted me to put that I dont know why. I did pretty good though well I think I did.

To Realize What Was Done

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
jesus took those lashes
cause he knew it was just

he died on the cross for us
out of pure love
for he was the holy messanger
from above

so trust in him
he will trust in you to
and remember him
in everything you do

he is the faithful servant
who will never leave
so accepting god
is what we have to achieve

This is a poem I wrote for my savior it was just something that was on my mind. I will share with you a poem I wrote every time I update my blog.

my heart

My hearts passion is to not only to go into all the nations to spread the word of God but to stay and live with different groups of people to create disciples for God. My passion is helping people and serving them because i live to serve. My heart is a ball of laughter and i want to show my smile and happiness to the whole world. I want to share hope with others that have never heard about God and i want to show them that there is love in this world that is easier to find than they think.

My first stop in my journey is Ensenada,MEX. I am Mission Adventure staff here for this summer. So far this summer has gone great. I have made great life long friendships with everyone. God has been working through my whole life. Since I been here I have not stopped smiling. Serving God everyday is my dream and right now I am living my dream. I will try to update this twice a week. Every Sunday and Wednesday. i will write more next time =)
