Take me Out To The Ball Game...

Well Baseball season is back which is always good news for me, the not so good news is once again I am not sleeping much due to the time difference and the weird hours the games are coming on. This will probably be my last blog due to the fact that I am coming home next week, I guess this is the blog were I talk about what God has done in my live the things hes has taught me etc. Well coming here I thought I would come home with clear direction on the next step of my life I thought I would be ready to be putting down routes here in the Philippines but after two months I am more clueless now then I was before. Two nights ago I was laying in bed and just could not sleep and like a ton of bricks God hit me with something he had dropped in my spirit during my time in Trinidad as I laid in bed he spoke the word "Haiti" to me I got up right away and went outside to pray. I had allot of questions because I really felt that this trip was going to be my last kinda shorter trip. Now I just have no Idea other then the fact that I wont be coming back here as soon as I had originally thought. What I do know is that I am not ready to make a career of this missionary thing it is allot harder then I would have guessed I have a ton to learn still. So maybe some more shorter trips is what I need maybe I need to work for a year and begin to establish myself in the real world I am not sure time and prayer are really the only things that will tell. What I do know is that when i go again it will be Haiti. I don't really know what else to say I have learned allot but its gonna take me some time to sort through it not to sure how to put it in words, so I love Y'all and I will see you soon.

God Bless

Where you going Joe...?

We are in Devoa city...right near the ocean, we are helping paint a church (House of Jubilee) and vactioning really. Its been really good, these last three weeks are very important to round this trip out. We went to a resort for three days...called paradise...right along the ocean , we went snorkling, beautiful coral and fish and all kinds of neat stuff...I touch everything... Ha i am so ignorant of the ocean... I am lible to get bitten. We are going back for the day 2morro and snorkeling some more and maybe scuba (likely we will do that later though)

Its been good getting time to sit down and just be with God. I am forcing my self to relex and sit back and read and just try to understand all that has went down in my heart. A lot of tears and prayers! But God is showing me some things and I find joy in just being able to meet with him and have him touch my heart. I felt the holy spirit which always cool. The other day I went for a bathroom break from painting and I fell to the floor in tears...it was crazy...the holy spirit just came upon me and I started praying and worshiping...Ha what a rush!

I just have had to to sit and be still and be open and he revealed himself. Things are making more sense here for me. As we walk down the street here people always yell "Where you going Joe?" (Joe because they think we are from the states... you know like GI. Joes?) I thought the other day..."I am not sure where I am going in life...but that is a good question". I am not sure what Canada has for me...but i am starting to see the reason for this trip...not the whole picture yet but if I countinue seeking God I trust he will give me more and more understanding. The lord is good!

Well thought I should give you all an update...I love you all very much...Thank you for your prayers! 10 days left here! Please keep in prayer for me...for i still have a lot to sort out and it seems I have just began... I have a lot of days and mornings that will be hard. ( got to start the process of giving everything to God everyday) Doing tons of bible reading and intense praying....but i am just glad I see hope again.

God Bless
