He is Grace, He is Time, He is constant.

Time moves--constantly changing.

Never staying at one moment.

Life moves--almost never giving you a chance to catch up.

HE is constant.

Constantly watching.

Constantly interceding.

Constantly giving Grace--

Grace for the TIME that I fail.

All the time.

All OF time--ensnared in the clutches of Grace. His Grace.

For when I fall, my pride dies and I am caught.

Caught in the arms.

LOST in the arms.

So, I get back up, walking ONLY by Grace.

The very Grace that ensnares me for the TIME that I fail.

All the time, I fail.

Never being good enough, or perfect enough

never giving enough, or taking enough.

Never enough for this place.

He is enough for all of TIME.

All of failures.

All of us.

He gives Grace. Freely.

Right now at this TIME, accept it.

Let yourself fall, and your pride die.

Let Him give and give until you are overwhelmed.

With Grace.

Until it overflows into your life, and friends, and family.

Until you can't stop sharing the Grace.

Not for people, situations, or TIME.

He is Grace, He is TIME, He is constant.

Is it really real? Week 3 in Germany

Image
     Experiencing other cultures is vitally important to your faith, in my opinion. It pulls you out of your comfort zone, (Which is totally cliché right now, but think about it. You’re literally in a zone of the world and you need to physically get out of it) and pushes you to see how other people around the world do things.       In a world that is becoming postmodern I have learned to cherish my values, to cling to the body of Christ, to abandon legalism in order to truly understand the Gospel, to be open to different doors God may be opening, to think before I speak, and to understand that Gospel credibility to other people is through my relationships with other people (how I love them).      I have seen a different, but just as able way to do church. I have recognized how real the Gospel is and how worthy it is of my entire life. I have been to some of the latest, biggest parties I’ve ever experie...

Stubborn man given NEW life in a matter of minutes.

There is power in the name of Jesus. I have never seen it like I did that day. It was our free day, with not much to do. Earlier, we had passed a big hindu temple on the side of the red hills, and then into a small village that looked untouched by the mzungus. Some of the team had mentioned how it would be really interesting to go to that village for a day, so we went! As we climbed out of the too-small-van onto the staining dirt roads, we prayed for His will to be done. Whatever it was, to let Grace fall on these people. And it did. It was like fire spreading. And it was fire spreading; we dispersed immediately in all directions, carrying the news of redemption, salvation, life with us, hoping to give it away. Nathan, Nick, Maggie, one of the interns, and I started walking down a path worn down by bare feet and skinny, deprived legs. A couple of uninterested, non-english speaking children walked up to us, said a couple words and then went on their way. By this point Nathan h...

Goodbye 'Murica, Hey Germany!

If you know me at all, you know I love to travel. What an adventure I am about to be a part of! I graduated high school in December (2014). I made that decision in September to finish early because I had enough credits and then I was hoping to travel somewhere or get an internship somewhere local/domestic in the Spring semester (2015). However, I just kinda put it off because it was so far in the future. I met with our missions pastor at Calvary to see what opportunities were available. I wanted to serve the church and not just do what I wanted to do. He mentioned missionaries that Calvary had in Lebanon, Germany, Calgary, and India. After prayer and consideration and a couple emails, we decided that Germany would be really feasible to pursue because of a missionary connection that our head pastor had with the church planter there. Because apartments and living spaces are small in Germany (especially the city, Frankfurt), housing was a bit difficult to find and because we notifie...
