i had to give a sermon O_0?

so as my internship here in OCM is drawing near the end, one of my last "assignments" was to preach at youth service...and yeah, i'll admit it...it was pretty fun. sharing with people of the things that i have learned/know has always been something i LOVE to do. getting this opportunity was a LOT more fun than i had anticipated and i definitely don't dread it as much as i did when i first got this assignment.

so yeah...just wanted to leave that thought there...in case i ever wonder if i actually like preaching if given the chance again...haha

if you wana hear a clip...lemme know and i can send it to you?

thats all for now..i really should/need to get some sleep

Dear Grandma,

it was quite hard and confusing last week when i first heard that you were gone. i wasn't exactly sure if i should be in sorrow or be joyful. whether i should be in tears or smiling. if i should have been angry or be happy. but to hear of the things that were said about you over the last couple of days, to see the many that have come to "pay their respects", to see how you've continued to bless your family, even through your death...its inevitable to say that i'm beyond overjoyed that God has brought you back in His arms, finally. to know that you're in the safest and best place you could be...and you're finally able to enjoy the treasures you have stored in heaven. 

Thank you for loving me, even when you didn't really get to know me. Thank you for your prayers, even though you didn't know what was going on in my life. Thank you for displaying the faith you had in God, and the way you lived out your life as an example to your family, friends, and the church. most importantly, thank you for showing what it means to be a warrior, a [prayer] warrior for God.

I believe that He loves you where you are
I believe that you've seen the hands of God
I believe that you'll know it when
You're back in His arms again

I believe that He never let you go
I believe that He's wanting you to know
I believe that He'll lead you 'til
you're back in His arms again 

And I know that He's callin'
He's callin' you Home

One life, one love, one way Home
And when you rise and when you fall
He will see you through it all
He is waiting, you are called,
back in His arms again. - Mark Schultz

with love from Him, in Him, and through Him

your grandson,

boaz

p.s. can't wait to see you again some day =]
