Mood – Feels like freshman year again.
I must apologize first and foremost to my YWAM brothers Jasen Chung and Sek Kim. I remember when I first read their blogs I thought that they were…long.
Now I know why.
My time with in Vancouver was hard at first, but it became so sweet in so many ways. I am learning that the darkest places in our lives where we fail to shine Jesus’ light is in our very homes. On the outside…we are perfect Christians…but the minute we step into our homes, we become the monsters that we can be. They say that character is who you are when no one’s looking. Well, for me I realized it’s also when I am with my family. My family would never speak ill of me. They would never let anyone know who I can be, because they love me. But I take advantage of that. And I can be the monster I’d dare not show anyone else.
But the Lord did a healing and started changing me. The work isn’t complete, but I believe He who started a good work…will complete it.
After that, I arrived in Kona, and it has been an absolute blast. I have been getting to know so many people who are going after the very heart and face of God. It’s so good to have a concentrated amount of people who are kindred spirit. But the Lord is teaching me the same things he’s been teaching me back at home…just in a different light. This tells me that everything available here is available anywhere else…claim and believe it!
One of my roommate’s name is Young…and He is just like one of my best friends Daniel Min. He is such a sturdy, grounded man of God. Even though we’re the same age, I get such a “hyung” vibe from him. I’m so glad that I have someone like that here, because I can be such a kid sometime, and I need an older brother to look out for me. Another roommate of mine is Jimmy and he is a bomb roommate. He’s a sports fan just like me, and is such a tender hearted man of God. Love having both of them walking with me. Having Lisa around has been such a blessing as well. Seeing her in this type of community has been such a joy. Also I see Joash everywhere…what more could I ask for?
Prayer requests: Still in need of some funds…Come on someBODY! I have felt pain in my back as bad as it’s been in a long while…The secondary school has been cancelled for this year, so GUIDANCE! And most importantly…to receive everything that Christ died on the cross for…FULLNESS!
LOVE, michael.
