Life? Yes, I remember you....

If I thought I was longing to go back into missions and YWAM before, Jessica's visit surely heightened the longing. Not only in me, but Larry as well.

As we browsed pictures, remembered our own journeys in years past and as I wore my new punjabi around town something in me that I would have sworn was dead and never coming to life again suddenly burst forth from my gut.

Life! I long to be alive again!
I long to run with Jesus in other places.
I long to tell people about Jesus.
I long to learn other languages with Him.
I long to see the places He has created on this earth.
They may be only a shadow of the life to come but this world, nevertheless, fell from His fingertips as well.
I long to live and love and laugh again.
I long to live like His child at play in His Hand.

Life, LIFE, abundant life. Oh how I long to taste of you, thus seeing Him, again.
Joy, joy unspeakable.
Being who He created me to be and living that to the fullest.

Thank You Jesus for reminding me that there is resurrection...even on this side of eternity.

Tour of the YWAM Bases....

The ways of the Lord are indeed mysterious but I have to admit that right now the journey is becoming quite fun.

We have been feeling for a while now that the Lord was switching our season and preparing to move us somewhere else. It's been hard to understand just where. And in that easy to get the cart before the horse instead of just walking out the journey as He reveals.

It seems to become clearer and yet more clear that He is leading us back into YWAM.
Which base has now become the question of the moment. Two bases are on our radar: Tyler, Texas and Orlando, Fl. Both have things that we want to be involved with and Orlando has a strong tie-in with prayer and the IHOP. Which would give us a ministry "outlet" for many of the things that burn on our hearts.

Missions, prayer and worship are what we long to train young people to do.

So! We ask that you would be in prayer for us as we "tour the YWAM bases" in April and May.
We are hoping that visiting the bases, as well as chatting on the phone, will help us clarify which base.

And also pray for us as we begin to support raise. YWAM requires us to have at least $1600 a month. ($800 per person....)
