Joy
God created us to have fun and be joyful in what we do. I got the awesome opportunity to go fishing/crabbing/shrimpping with my boss. While we were boating back I started to pray that God would just speak to me. Wow did He, I have really been having a hard time finding joy in being here in Alaska (don’t get me wrong it is amazing here) but lately I really have been struggling in truly finding joy in what we are doing here on this project and with the team that I am serving on. So as we were riding alone the wind started kicking up and the waves started getting big for the boat we were in. As we drove back the water started spraying in the boat and Phil (my bosses son) who is 11 years old. Just started finding joy in letting the water hit him in the face and opening his mouth as the salt water sprayed over the boat. This is what interrupted my pray and in that instant I was true joy that was not affected but the world or for that matter anything. That is the joy that God calls us to unaffected by society. As I finished praying God show me that joy is not something you have when you are happy but true joy in the Lord is a lifestyle. As we matrue in our walks we more and more find joy in life just like a child.
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

"With all our Heart"
Have you every tried to wrap your mind around that. What truly does it look like to sever with all our heart? What does it look like to lead with all our heart? What does it look like to give all our heart? As I sit in awe of the 4 word statement and how it really is one of the staples of our faith. Yet so often I do things either with only a little of my heart or all of my heart for the wrong reason. "God give me a heart that would seek after Your heart and Yours alone. That I would not be give my heart away but that I would find you at the center of my life. Not friends not girlfriends not family. God I pray that I would rely on you in my time of need and in the joys. Give me a heart of severing God break me of my pride let me sever whit all my heart. God I pray that I would sever the guys here God but what I say and in there needs. God thank you for everything that you have done this summer, Ben and Aaron God I think you so much for putting them in my life. Wow God they both on a daily basis rock my world. I love them both God and pray that you would just continue to grow those relationships and that you would use us in what way you need this summer. I thank you for putting guys in my life that I can walk with for a life time."

A Child like faith
Faith is such a major word in a spiritual adventure yet we so often through it around like it is just a word. What is faith well to me it is trust in something you cant see or touch. But tonight I really thought about it and realized that my faith is far from a full and complete trust in the unknown. I see my self trusting fully only have I know what is coming or when I have some stuff figured out. What God is calling me to is a blind faith a child like faith that no matter where God has me or no matter what little thing He was my doing it is for a reason that is bigger then me. I pray that God will continue to help me let go and trust in Him
