everthing becomes new January 27th, 2006

everything becomes new Darkness lifts in the dawn of a new day Prisoners liberated, squint at the harsh and beautiful sun A river, frozen and cold, runs freed of ice again in the warming spring A prodigal returns, fortune spent and dirty, to home After winter’s grip relents and ground warms, a seed forces a tender plant to earth’s surface A bear, undernourished, lumbers from his den, hungry A sinner, liberated from sin, finds a joy in life that only Yeshua can bring everything becomes new

I have undergone some interesting, trying, and unshackling experiances here. Someday I will tell you about them.

I am physically MUCH better, praise God!

About to start week 3 of snow camp, over 100 decisions for Christ over the past two weeks. I have served working outside at sledding hills, inside in dishpit, and snowshoeing up mountains. This week I should do more of the same, and for the next weeks of camp.

In class we have finished a two week course on Acts and have started Revelation chapters 1-5, as well as a study on Christ, the GodMan. Amazing lessons to be learned, primary among them the preeminence of prayer and total surrender to Christ.

In the dorm, we just pulled a surprise birthday on a friend. Starting early morning to late night we celebrated his 19th. We had girls singing at lunch, pizza, cake, LAN games, and ice cold water/snow in thrown into the shower! What an awesome day. God has blessed with the best guys I could have in my room.

My family in PNG finally received the Christmas package I sent via the Campbell’s, Benji and father.

Great things are happening, my life as it has been, though many little awesome, funny things go down every day.

Peace and grace of God unto you.
