Seasons come and seasons go. Sometimes there is simply a time to wait. A time to not GO. A time to stop moving. This does not mean that it is a time to DIE, but simply to WAIT. To let time pass without sprinting, without wanting, without striving. The world moves so fast these days. I find myself clashing the pace of the busy coffee shop. I like the ones where the person behind the bar wants to simply chit chat, rather than feel the pressure of "speed of service" - why the hell is … [Read more...] about Life in the place of waiting

A glimpse at 2011
LIFE If there is one thing I have learned in seven years of circumnavigating the globe - I AM GOING TO BE OK. I have also learned more and more that "Whatever my lot, I can say IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL." There is also time of "chaos" yet seeing the last statement the other day on someones Facebook post - simply reminded me of the TRUTH. Reminded me to stand up and live from the place of a "well soul". There is still "chaos" but it is well with my soul. Pain & JOY. These go … [Read more...] about A glimpse at 2011

Article for CCF church newsletter. By William Rosenberg - YWAM Missionary I am writing this article from the road. Current location, New York City.

Yet this time I was … [Read more...] about Transitional 2011
Where is GOd?? ChristChurch New Zealand
Earthquakes and destruction in the west I recently met with a good friend of mine in CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand. I had not seen Stacey since before the shakings; the multitude of earthquakes that have shaken this major city in the southern hemisphere. So when I spent a few days in the city I made sure we connected. Let me share bring you up to speed if you have not seen New Zealand in the news recently. It seems like the world has moved on, but for Canterburians this is still reality. … [Read more...] about Where is GOd?? ChristChurch New Zealand
Awaken…o my soul
AWAKEN I recently completed a 3 month internship at the Taurunga House of Prayer. It was a time of being set-apart, drawn out, pulled out, called out - to simply BE with the LORD and immersed in the place of HIS PRESENCE. If you are not yet a follower of Jesus these words may sound weird. Let me attempt to share - I feel like GOD, the Uncreated Creator of all things reached down from heaven, grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and pulled me out of everything. Pulled me out of my … [Read more...] about Awaken…o my soul
VideoLOG #2
Here is another short video for you. It is just over 2 minutes.... hope you enjoy following my journey in this way. Feel free to leave a comment if you like what you see or have any thoughts/feedback. Personally, March is turning out to be a good month. It seems to be a time of "resetting" for me. I feel that many things are currently up in the air for my life, but on the day to day I know I am right where I am suppose to be, leaning into the Lord in the place of PRAYER. In the scope of … [Read more...] about VideoLOG #2
