All over the world and pic bring me home

Sometimes I admit my memory wont recall all the great stuff and every moment that makes me happy. I need a camera even though I am not really the guy that takes a ton of pics. But when I look through all the pics that I have I see heaven. I have the biggest smile about all the people that I have met and all the people that I have lost. Over this last year I have gained and lost so many relationships, sometimes we are just passing ships. I have found love all over the world and fallen in love with some of the coolest people ever. My heart has been hurt and just as fast as it was hurt it has been healed. So many moments captured in stone and I have to thank my hipstamatic and my camera on my phone. From Albania to Boca Raton Florida I am so happy to be me maybe for the first true time in a long time. My pics also make me miss the people that I love and have loved. I am called to be all over the world but I am hungry for long lasting relationships that stretch across the boundaries of space and time. So I give and shout out to my family, the ones with the same blood and the brothers/sisters from another mother. Pull out the pics of us and look at us having a great time all over the world and get ready for the next time we see eachother. No one can take a memory that is attached to a emotion no matter if good or bad, it is our testimony of what really happened. So to everyone my advise is to smile eternity is far to long to not enjoy it ALL!

Rainy Day In Florida

It has been raining for the last couple of days in Florida and it has not stopped us at all. We have been pouring out on each other and enjoying the presence of Jesus together. This morning my buddy Cameron took off to go back to California. After dropping him off at Miami International airport I began to think about his impact on me. It was so amazing spending time with him and getting pick his brain. Wow what a wise person full of practical knowledge about the Kingdom. I find that good friends help you value friendship. The power of a relationship makes it easy to put yourself out there in vulnerability. It is sometime easy to get really busy and neglect opportunities to live this amazing life with people who are going the same direction. But the reward is eternal. Someone once said to me "lets be friends the rest of our lives" and that totally impacted me to the core. I want friends that want to know me for our whole lives and into eternity.

House churches and families

It has been a while since I written but so much is going on. Right now I am in the great state of Florida after spending the last couple of weeks all up and down the east coast. I am with a missionary family that has just started a church called New Thing Fellowship. I got to meet them a couple of years ago and I come to stay with them anytime I am in there region. I have got to know and really fall in love with there ministry. And the thing that really stikes me about being with them is how much I feel like they are family. I was talking to friend about traveling and I have noticed there is a specific feeling that I get when people carry my same heart. It is like we all live in a huge house together and I have to get on an airplane to go to the other parts of the house to see them. One thing about home is it is messing and people have to learn how to live together but it comes with the best rewards. People dont want to go somewhere and feel like an alien, they want to feel welcomed and a part of the family. I think that is why the house church movement has exploded! I enjoy the large gatherings but there is something so intimate about a crowded house with screaming kids and people going after the deepness of Jesus' heart.
