In the wake of a Hurricane

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

Oh Lord, what can one do
in the presence of your wrath.
Nature coupled with death
It is your will and I am lost
words stripped from my mouth
Full of hurt and despair for those
destined to be destroyed with the rise of the sun
to the storm of your calling.

MN State Fair 2005! (Photos)

Monday, August 29th, 2005

Today was the great Minnesota get together, the Minnesota State Fair! Alright, not just today, but this day happened to be the one my mom and I attended. It was great. I love the fair, for the longest time I would go opening day with my mom (though I missed the fair entirely last year…) and since my whole family is out of high school now we just go whenever.

So here is a little photo re-cap of the day.

STINTer Briefing 3 (with Photos)

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

This has been a really hard week. I’m sitting here waiting, waiting for what seems like it’s been forever this last day. Woke up at 7:30 and my bus doesn’t leave from Keystone for Denver until 12:30 so I’ve been bumming around cleaning up the condo, throwing out open food, doing dishes, praying, quiet time, and chilling online.

Yellow Flower

Flower from the Keystone Resort in Colorado. Not sure what it is but the color, texture, and contrast really caught my eye.

STINTer Briefing 2

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

It’s been several days and wow, this week has been just amazing. Tonight was our commissioning. As I thought worshiping with 400-500 Christians so on fire for Christ is amazing. So broken and worthless in the eyes of the world, yet chosen by Christ to redeem His world. To be carried by our Father to 32 countries. It’s amazing and so humbling.

France STINTers
the Toulouse and Paris STINTers!

I’ve been taught so much about myself this week. God has been more then generous in his revelations to myself, about my weaknesses and pride. There is more but don’t have time to write it up on the computer (I actually have a pen and paper journal again, pretty exciting!).

More than likely I will write up something a bit longer in the airport or once I get home on Wednesday, maybe Thursday. So until then learn to let God love you,

Keystone

Not sure if I’ll be able to put anymore up while I’m out here, but though I’d put a shot up from a mountain climb earlier today. Had some great time with the Lord and then stood atop his creation. it was great and so very needed.
