Revival!

...please pray for this.

Ladies and Gentlemen...I can not fully explain the feelings I have when I think about this school year here at SWOSU. But I can try:
This all starts last year (well even before that)...anyway last year God really worked on my heart in a few areas: Bible Studies (Dorm Bible studies in particular), and Revival! He not only grew my heart in these areas but he watered them and gave them direction. On the Bible studies he placed me in position where I could implement multiple studies in the dorms...a place were we as Christians have such an oppurtunity to effect those around us. We now have five different Bible studies running and within three weeks we will have eight!!! Not only that but He has blessed them with such a crop of strong Christian men and women.
Secondly. REVIVAL. It started with a desire to see the campus ministries move in unison a Body...so after a lot of prayer God very directly pointed me to one key person in every ministry and we all begun meeting once a month last year...well since we have begun moving as a Body all across campus. It is such a beautiful thing...We meet together on mondays at 7 to pray for the campus...its students, its faculty...OUR HEARTS are all one. We pray for revival and have been solidly for the last year...And believe me there is something different this year here at SWOSU....

a good friend of mine from a fellow ministry and myself have committed to meeting in at 7 o'clock every morning this year...it is a big commitment and we would like prayer for strength in this. We also welcome anyone to come and be apart of this...even if you are not on campus...meet with us all the same.

So in all of these quickly typed words...please take this away. We would love for you to pray for SWOSU too!

A New Page.

Well. I am back and have been for about two weeks now! It is so very nice to be back here in Oklahoma...I missed so much: the warmth of the sun, the friendliness of the people, the breeze (not the wind lol), my dog (Whiskey), my friends and family, and so much more.
Now that I am back I have had the opportunity to reflect a bit on my time spent in Juneau and how it has changed me...and taught me things. Things like:

- Stand firm in the direction given by the Word of God and by the convictions given by the Holy Spirit, regardless of opposition.
- Sometimes people will hate you for you Faith.
- Don't have expectations...instead just have anticipations.
- Humble yourself to let Christ work through you.


There are a great many of things in addition to these that I have found true through my travels this summer. I look forward to telling you about them in person!

Thoughts on Project and on Home

...as you maybe able to ascertain from the photo, I am thinking of home quite a lot. If you have had a conversation with me anytime recent then you have not a doubt that is the case indeed.

As this project comes to a close in the next 14ish days...I find myself in thought a lot. In all directions. Thoughts of back home and the next several years...thoughts on the last ten weeks and what I have learned as I have been here in Juneau. I will try to share a few with you...they will be just as random as they are in my head. Good luck following :)

I am really looking forward (I say "looking forward" to because if I said "I can´t wait" then Dad would respond "I bet you do") to returning back to Oklahoma...being near my closest friends and family. I miss so many random often seemingly small things: my dog; Whiskey, TheCup, Sunday mornings and the body of believers I see as family, flat land, (surprisingly) wind, warmth from the sun, my parents and brother, my closest friends. All of these have been daily on my thoughts as I have been here in Alaska... I have also had a lot of thoughts about Thanksgiving and bow hunting...strange I know but I think it has to do with the cool weather.

I am also looking forward to the trip back home, even though it is going to be a fast paced adventure of sleeping on the road and few bathroom breaks. I have secured a few of my closest friends here to ride in my vehicle and I am very excited about the conversations that we will be having during the course of those many hours. 

I have also been thinking about this project...what I have learned from the situations I have been placed in and the people I have been around. I do not think I can expound upon much of this now...but I shall once I am away from here and have spent time adequately dissecting this summer.

I obviously look forward to seeing each of you upon my return...again I thank each of you for the hours you have committed to praying for me and my friends here on this project.

Love You
