The RUNDOWN

Okay so DTS has been amazing... it is an amazing environment where I am just thrown into focusing on God all the time (if I want a lot of it is a choice) but the opportunities are there to just dive into God 24/7... we have worship 3-4 mornings a week for a few hours and its amazing... we have speakers who teach us monday thru thursday every week... and so far they have been amazing and very challenging... I am just soaking stuff in like crazy... God has been leading and guiding me like never before and I am so excited for the rest of my life its ridiculous.. Im pretty sure Im going to cornerstone university next year (which you should check out they have a soccer team with scholarships) and I might run cross country... thats exciting... I will major in bible.. then after that I am going to start a church... and I know that... I guess I dont know when but me and Lexi have been having these crazy awesome visions of starting this raw real passionate church... I have no clue where... but it is going to be AMAZING... its going to be really hard I know but we know that is what God is calling us to do a few years down the road so that is exciting..!!! God has been doing crazy things with Lexi and I's relationship too.. ever since she moved God has fulfilled his promise of it being a good thing for us... and we are a millions times more closer and inl love than before only because we realize we cant do anything with out the Lord.. and when we fill our relationship with God's love versus ours and completely submit everything to him we are blessed beyond measure... beyond anything words could ever express..!! It has been an amazing love ride... and God is so big for both of us its not even funny... =) My outreach for DTS is going to be to North Africa... and I am totally stoked for it... I will be there 2 months starting the second week of December I think... I will fill you in when I know more... I am playing the guitar now.. learning it really fast... and I love it !!! it is so cool and I think I am going to be leading worship on our outreach to Morocco already... so 2 months of guitar then BAM leading!... how cool!! I am going to cornerstone church out here (Francis Chan's church) and God lights me up every week... it is totally amazing! Kind of funny because I think I am going to Cornerstone University too.. lol... no correlation ... I really miss home... all my friends and Mom Dad Andrew Annie and Pete and obviously Lexi... but it is definitely a good thing to as I am learning to rely on christ for EVERYTHING and no human being... I just got back from a week in Mexico where I did a lot of youth outreach in the slums, helped them learn to read and their ABC's... then we built a house for a family in 2 days... probably the coolest ministry Ive ever been a part of... it was so amazing to build this super nice house (comparative to the neighborhood) for this needy family and then give them the keys... OH MAN!!!! But the Mexico trip was also very scary in the way that I felt this crazy bad spiritual presence... It was holding me down all week... and I wish I could explain it but God was very hard to see and know because satan had such a grip on the city of Tijuana... It scared me... and I couldnt wait to get back to LA... as soon as we crossed the border on the way back I felt free... it was really weird... Ive never felt anything like it... Okay I have to go do a few things... that are due tomorrow... but just know that DTS is amazing and I am loving it but also realizing how much I love my home and my friends
