we watch war movies that say "we live to fight another day" and think how kool that would be to say.
but as Christ followers fight every day, and can say, "we live to fight another day.

some thing i think about every so often is when we are not fighting we are not growing (or as much as we do when we fight)
when there is a struggle in our live and we fight (work through) we grow just that much more.
but when we fight and dont praise God for the fight and find the good and thank Him for teaching us we are less likely to learn from it.

Fighting tell I die

o heart how can i find you?

so much has happened in the last 3 months some bad but mostly good.
i can say that seeing as thru most of the bad things i go thru end up being for Gods good.

as of late i have been a lot of emotions but a lot o them have been sad emotions, or...just no feeling.

i think this is because i have not been reading my bible as much as i was a week ago, which is kool cuz i know that is why. today i thought of this and started reading untell the feeling had passed... i think this is a way i will live my life.

its hard knowing im coming home cuz my mind and heart are lost thinking about and feeling that.
and i know thats not what i should be feeling and spending a lot of my last days here thinking about but its so deep in me that its hard to shake.


praising Him 4 life.

FEAR

I was walking into the house today and i started thinking about fear, and what it would be like to fear some one you lived with (mom, dad, brother, sister, ect..) and how horrible that must be.


Isaiah 41:10(NLT)

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."

The first time i heard the verse i was listening to Adventures in Odyssey :D
and it seems so strong to me, vary to the point.

Don't be afraid....i am God. I got you back my child.

how kool is that.
i find myself worrying about things and when they are just way to much for me i tell God to take them form me and lay them at the foot of the cross (some times i have to picture myself doing just that.)


Guys, as much as the devil wants us to live in fear we HAVE been set free and do not need to fear evil things!.

Happy

Happy.


There comes a point in some ones life when they can see how their growing up. The last 3 months here in Africa have been so much fun, and just a lot of getting to know people, but not so much getting to know myself and I have not been tested. But in the last 2 weeks a lot has happened, and I have been tested and well to make a long story short I feel strong. I feel more connected to God and have been talking to Him more. When we spend more time WITH God we are more centered in who we are and in who He wants us to be.


My thank you goes out to God and his saving and forgiving me time after time.
I love you Lord.

empty in Africa?

i talk to so many people in the USA and they talk to me about how much they want to be here in Africa.

i know many people that feel empty in the USA.

but this feeling where i should be feeling full?!
maybe its just that i need to get back into the swing of things here after out v k we we went on.

truth is i have been feeling empty the last few days.
maybe it is God cousing this in me so i come closer to Him.
i need some time.

i have been told by some others here that people this doing misshions is easy and just...well happens..
there is so much that goes on in the hearts of people who are on misshions.
there are things that i have heard about that go on in peoples lifes that people back home dont even know about and think they have the best life cuz they are not in the USA or Canada.
thats not how it works.

i dont have much of a point for this blog, nothing but what i need to get out and spill onto the world wide web.

if you have a problem with some thing on here fill free to E MAIL me.
but remember the name of the blog.


yes im in that kinda mood. :).

One thing i love

One thing i love is being up late and truning on some song that gets me pumped and just start writing.

and this is what you get.

i was talking to a friend here in Africa and telling them how i got the name of my blog.

some of you may not know cuz it was my first post.

so let me say once more.
i know my spelling is crap, i know my grammar is crap and in order for me to just be able to put all i want to out there on my blog i have to just not give a crap about what my readers are thinking about me and what im saying :).

My Lord has givin me such a wonderful life
and such adventure....i forget this some times
THank you Lord.

My emotions here in Africa seem to be always up and down....i wonder why and how to make it more stable....maybe with time.

no matter what tho i will always be praising Him.

When at JF there was this rapper named odd thomas...this guy has some crazy truth in his raps. its so wonderful to see some one taking down "the man" of the corpo Christians. Even tho you are a Christian duz not mean you can rob others of their money!!

i found out that my sister and my friend Bre are going to be coming in december.(along with a few more? )
this was almost as exciting as getting to know i got to come *maybe cuz i knew that i was coming and did not know they where untell a few months before*

DONT EVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU SERV.

>>>>R'H,I':N)o,',>>>>

this life will not end with out a fight...how strong will you be?

775 FOR LIFE

Hey blog readers! This is a little note just for you guys, I have been posting the blogs on facebook as well and….well I think you might be getting jiped.

Im here in Africa sitting on the tier swing swinging and typing..

Things are starting to get into focus here and im loving it.
I can look at things back home more clearly and can now think about stuff about home, before I could just not focus on it..or any thing for that matter.
When I would pray It was hard for me to feel God and that I was truly talking to him.

I think I needed to just get in the grove here and start to see my place here.

As much as I love the people I left in Reno it hasn’t been that hard being with out them, but I do have a lot of contact with every one so im sure that’s helping me to not feel sad about them all.

Last time I was here Nate and I where not as close as we are right now, and when we where in Reno we would help each other thru things and talk it out and encouraging each other and it was vary kool, but here when we talk it is that much more needed and helpful.
I am so thankful that God gave me Nate as my friend and fellow worrier!



775 for life
Andrew.
