So, I've been going to the gym a lot lately. One thing I have noticed, and still continue to notice, is that when I am sweating I smell smoke.
This started after the camping trip (and it smells like the fire from the camping trip), but seriously? Still? It's been over a week. >.>
Anyways, it's too late to blog again. >.>
Luckily we have more in my Haiti Journal. xP
"[On the plane]
Hey! How was Haiti?
Way too short. haha. It was a really great experience. We were working alongside an orphanage and church in a small town. There was quite a lot of heavy work to do at the orphanage. One day we mixed + poured a huge slab of concrete, other times we had a new house to paint, a wall to jackhammer and other stuff, but that was just the mornings. We got to play with the kids, do crafts with them, sing songs and one time we played charades with Bible stories.
One thing I really saw this week was the true unity of the body of Christ. Us from Canada, the local church, a team from Germany. We could all come together, pray together, work together and worship together, because of our Father in heaven [and the blood of his son on the cross].
I also really saw first hand how when we place our trust in God he can use our weaknesses and make it a strength.
I was also really encouraged by their faith. With so little they actually thank God for more. It was kinda eye opening to our situation in Canada."
"Feb 24 ~ 11am
Yo, when did I become like this?
When did I become the guy who has been on 14 flights in the last 2 years?
When did I become an encourager?
When did I gain a knowledge of so many Bible verses?
When did I truly surrender my life to Christ's plans?
How can I continue on this path? On His path for me?
I pray His Spirit continues to direct and empower me.
I pray this hard working ethic would apply to the gospel.
I pray that I seriously encounter God in life-changing ways again and again.
Lord, use me.
Lord, guide me.
Lord, give me boldness to count all as loss compared to knowing you.
Amen.
D.Fa"
