Fresh Life

I realize I have not left the lower 48 yet and this blog is quickly becoming something other than just pics of my trip, but whatever. I was blown away by the amazingness (I don't actually think that is a word) of the Lord yesterday, and felt like I should share it.
      It has been a struggle of mine in the past to discern what are the actual words of the Holy Spirit being spoken to me from what are my own thoughts or destructive thoughts of the enemy. It has been a long and tedious process to try and figure this one out, and I am still learning. I had a moment yesterday however that is was almost as if the Holy Spirit had a mega phone and was speaking directly to me. The message was exactly what I needed to hear, but I believe it will be powerful to anyone else that listens to it as well. It is a bit long but I encourage you to listen to it all the way through. This church has been very influential to me this past season in my life and I believe it will continue to be in the future. Their use of technology to get the Good Word out is so awesome. Check it out!  The church is Fresh Life and yesterdays message is Unscrambling the Eggs. Enjoy.

The Whitefish Wrap up

     Well my time in Whitefish is coming to an end. It has been an amazing winter even though the snow hasn't been epic. The Flathead valley is for lack of a better word "magical" as a friend put it. I think he hit the nail on the head. People up here are so full of life. They acknowledge you on the street and seem to be overall happy to be alive. There is a lot to be said for that in the modern day we live in. It nice to be up here away from the mainstream way of living. To live of the land and to work for your food and warmth is quickly becoming extinct way of life. Now your probably thinking that your so happy for all the modern day convinces that enable such an easy existence, but stop an think about it for a minute.  A lot of us, not excluding myself create unneeded drama and chaos that don't do anything for us except stress us out. Or we start delving into destructive habits and extracurricular activities that we don't have any business getting involved in.  Lets break free of that, and get back to the simple way of living.
    I have been very blessed to live the places I have lived and experience the full life the Lord offers. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank Him for this. If the Lord can shower me, the ragamuffin I am, with the amazing grace that he offers, then He can do the same for any of you.  He loves each and everyone of you with more passion than you can possibly imagine. If you haven't already stop reading this now and give your life over to him and experience the amazing adventure He has waiting for you.
      Here are a few picks of the past season I have been through. Enjoy!
