Project Burn Out

Sorry its taken me so long to update the blog....I've got what they call project burnout. I've in the full flow of project now and I'm just gettting used to the schedule and beginning to experience some laziness for sure. Basically we have about 2-3 hours of free time all day and so we are always going and moving and doin something. I like it that way but it can wear a guy out.

So basically this week has been pretty cool...

Manhood Development was cool because we played dodgeball then had a quick message about pride. It was convicting and good to hear. Then afterwards we did this cool thing where we partnered up and encouraged each other. We told our brother what we like about them and told the truth. We didn't boost their ego with something that was a lie. It was cool to hear about what people liked about you and be able to practice and encouraging people because who doesn't like to be encouraged!!

Wednesday and Thursday went pretty normal so nothing new to report there

Friday was tons of fun though...I got to go hang out with the Johnson Youth Center kids. They are 17 of the worst kids in Alaska. But you wouldn't know that from hanging out with them. They are really cool kids that got involved with the wrong crowd. I got to play basketball with them which was awesome cuz I don't get to play sports up here much. I also got into some good convo with the guys and asked them about their families and future plans. Its gonna be cool to get to know these guys and minister to them as best we can. Then that night we had free time to chill with the bros. We went to a place called palaminies (I think thats how you spell it) which only serves russian dumplins...it was pretty tasty. Then we went and got cigars and smoked next to the Mendenhall Glacier. Really good bro time and a good way to get out of the project burn out.

Today was a frustrating service project that was full of rain and unorganized chaos...so thats about all you need to know about that.

Overall God has really been answering my prayers of late. I've been praying for passion in general. Passion for the lost, unreached, and just general passion to seek out God. Its been working too which has been incredible. I've never been big on reading my Bible but I've had sudden urges to read my bible and its been awesome!! God is doin work in my life and its incredible. Christianity has really clicked for me up here. I have a purpose to my life now. Before I was just living by a rule book and now I have the purpose of reaching the lost and trying to bring people to Christ. Its been crazy awesome and I thank all you guys for the prayer and thoughts. Keep praying for me with regards to Kaitlin but that sore is being healed by God too which has been fantastic as well.
