Update time!

Sooo I know it has been a while since I last posted on here, my life has been hectic, but i'm back and here to update you all on life.  The summer has been rolling with Summer Venture.  I spoke two Mondays ago and continued our theme from Getaway, First Things First, and I focused my talk on putting Jesus first and the world last, and what it looks like when we put the world first and all that comes with it.  I really felt the Spirit speak through me, and felt super blessed by even being allowed to speak in front of them!  I am sure you are wondering what my weeks look like, we have Big Mondays where all the students meet up and then we have Tuesdays, where its guys and girls bible studies.  I help lead the guys, and we usually play intense games of dodgeball for an hour or so then get in the word and hear about what's going on in the kids lives, and then meeting up with the guys one on one throughout the week to disciple/mentor them.  Another update, me and a couple of the guy leaders have been taking the kids surfing every Saturday and teaching them and just having a good time.  We have done it the last two Saturdays and it has been a hit, we have had about 8-10 guys show up, it's been really fun.  I never thought at the age of 22 I would be fighting the forces of nature by combatting the largest sand castle the beaches of Del Mar has ever seen!

If you are familiar with the rap artist Lecrae, I was listening to one of his songs titled, "Just Like You" and was really into the lyrics and toward the end of the song, Lecrae says this, which really hit my heart hard and instead of something funny the Lord always shows me, He revealed something of His serious side.

But God sees through my foolish pride, an how I'm weak like Adam, another victim of lucifer's lies. Then in steps Jesus. All men were created to lead, but we needed somebody to lead us. More than a teacher, but somebody to buy us back from the darkness, you can say He redeemed us. Taught us that real leaders follow God, finish the work cause we on our job. Taught us not to rob, but give life. Love a wife like He loved the Church, without seein' how many hearts we can break first. I wanna be like you in every way. So if I gotta die every day, unworthy sacrifice, but the least I can do is give the most to me. Cause bein' just ike you is what I'm supposed to be. They say you came for the lame, I'm the lamest. I made a mess, but you say you'll erase it. I'll take it. They say you came for the lame, I'm the lamest. I broke my life, but you say you'll replace it. I'll take it. 


God Bless everyone!  Thanks again for all your prayers and the support!
