Road to Emmaus

I'm looking out over the crystal Flathead Lake as the Rockies loom in the backdrop with pastel clouds covering the sky, and a marion berry muffin and cup of coffee in each of my hands I'm realizing again why I ventured on this journey to Lakeside, Montana.

I desire more of Jesus. I desire more of his heart; his face. I desire to experience him. I desire to communicate him. I desire to sing to him. I want him to carry away my heart.

I stopped and took a breath today and as a result, 3 people began to tell me their story, goals, and thoughts about where they are at in life. They then asked me about what I'm doing and what this YWAM thing is all about. I got to share my heart and see them get excited; see their eyes opened.

I believe we are created to live with our eyes open. In my SBS program I feel I have lived as the men that met Jesus on the road to Emmaus, but didn't realize it was him. He told them all the Scriptures of the things concerning the fulfillment of the Prophets from Moses and the Prophets, and these men just listened and were amazed... but their eyes weren't opened. Even in the presence of Jesus, they didn't see him... Later on their eyes are were opened and they saw Jesus. "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?" (Luke 24:31-32)

My heart is on fire

Thank You

I want to Thank everyone who came and supported me at my show back in September. I had so much fun and am so blessed to have people in my life that care about my passions and dreams. Thank you to those who financially helped support me in this next chapter of diving into the Bible through the School of Biblical Studies Program with YWAM in Lakeside, Montana. In the first two weeks, God has been speaking to me through the word, while I'm learning priceless inductive Bible study skills.

Thank You!

Fresh Prince of Titus

So in class yesterday we were put in groups and given the task to tell the book of Titus in a skit. The only rules was it had to be "PG" because there were going to be kids there...

My group came up with the idea to take the theme song to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and re-write the lyrics to tell the story of Titus. We dressed up as gangstas complete with huge hoodies, knuckle tattoos, and tin-foil grills. You can't really understand us in the video because the recording is from my blackberry and a buddy was filming it and laughing most of the time.

Here's the lyrics we had:

___________________________

So now this is a story all about how

Titus’ life got flipped, turned upside-down

And I’d like to write a letter, Just stay in your seat

I’ll tell you why I left you, in a place called Crete

In that place where all the traders would meet

We went there for a reason, the reason was to teach

I left you for a purpose, that purpose was straight

Appoint the elders, and rebuke the saints

Here’s the pre-req’s of husband, wife, and son

They can’t live like a drunkard, or they’re done

Arrogance, violence, quick-temper won’t due

But a self-controlled, hospitable life is true

The Doctrine that is taught, in the faith that you know

Our God is our savior, and his grace overflows

Training us to renounce all worldly desires

And to live self-controlled, up-right as his admires

Grace be with you all
