Kaleo Ministry S:2

Kaleo has come to its end with lots of great memories and good things to keep in mind. It is a little odd living with 26-35 people for 8 months and then all leaving and splitting ways never knowing when or if we will ever see each other again. Life goes on, again some farmilliar places to see as well as new places. You never really know who you will cross paths with again it is part of the surprises in life.

It has been awesome learning the importance of God and people in my life. I remember going to a church "Bible Truth" in Kamloops and there motive was to love God and love people. The emphasis has poured out to me on this subjedct throughout the year understanding more about the living Christ in his people, and brothers who could now appear enemies really could be our brothers, who really knows? God knows.

I struggle alot with my own abilities and have continued to throughout the year, however my hope lies within the belief that God really does have a plan and purpose for me and all who will humbly accept his word can join in the body, the family of the living God, it is a beautiful thing. I have learned more about the importance of Jesus Christ and how no lies we would be screwed without him! The picture is becoming more clear now, but there is much more to learn and this should be a joy and a hope to grow a deeper and larger passion for Jesus. I seek wisdom and to avoid evil, and have the holy spirit open my mind to understand the scriptures! This is my hope and prayer for my brothers and me. It is an encouraging thought to know that the Lord is patient with us (2 Peter 3:9) and that he interceeds for the believers (John 17:20-26). If you read the scriptures and believe that they are true this type of thinking can make the impossible possible.

It is time to tree plant soon and I really hope that I will continue to seek the Lord, that my soul would yearn for him at night and in the morning my spirit would long for him (Isaiah 26:9). That I my lamp would keep burned realizing this is not my own life, but the Lords. My prayer for me and everyone is that he would search our inmost being taking out the filth and corruption leading us on to a more holy life for his sake, the kingdom. Let us not fear people but fear God.
