not really…
Well the adventure in the Philippines is now over =( the toughest thing i ever had to do was leave, the people there have touch my life in so many ways and my heart will forever stay in GenSan City. On the other side IM IN MALAYSIA!!!!! its crazy i cant help but ask the question is this really my life? I dont think it will sink in ever that I am where i am.
We arrived here in Kuala Lumpur we have been here for now 1 week and its been an amazing week. The culture is soooo different here than in the Philippines, its crazy to see the different culture and see how they are so different but its really aweosme. We have entered into a whole new world, people drive on the wrong side of the road but on the right side for them, squatty potty really exist, wide range of different cultures, pointing with your finger is offensive
The place we are staying at is above a resturaunt which our contacts Carol and Peter own, both Peter and Carol are amazing people. We are basically in the Center of the city which I am enjoying a lot. So since we have been here we have just been helping out with the resturaunt and exploring the areas around here. Last thursday we went on a prayer walk at an area here where there is prostitution but its not very visible like some other places but it was still an eye opener to see that this stuff actually happens and people have to go through that its sad to see and think about those woman who are trapped in prostitution.
On the weekend we got sent out to this place, honestly cant tell you where it is because I have no idea i just hoped in a van with my team and went. We were about 2 hours away from the city in a jungle area we stayed at a pastors place and for the whole weekend we basically did childrens ministry in a jungle village it was a really awesome experience and in one of the places we went swimming in a mini waterfall and i thought i was going to die I paniced just a little bit because I was getting taken away by the current, but its funny because I was going down stream and i really had no control of my body…. Okay imagine me going downstream in panic mode and the most rediculous look of fear that i had on my face then i grap tiffany with a death grip and we both go farther downstream, but we survived… then went again. =)
After words, I always had this thought and never went through with it but for a while now I wanted to get rebaptized and just be renewed in the Lord and the mistakes i made before to just washed them all away and restart this amazing journey that He is taking me on. It was spontaneous not prepared or official, take it as you want, but it was a very special 3 seconds of my life the 3 seconds i will never forget. Me and Jesus and my team in the middle of the jungle at a mini waterfall wouldn’t have it any other way. The coolest part was the vision God set through JD he prophecy over me just before I went in that, ” This is the beginning of a new adventure, your like a river as you go under your going to stay under and your going to get taken away by the current and your going to go deeper and deeper with God,” that just blew my mind. and as i went under the water was way different, a different way that I can explain October 16, 2010 a day that will remain in me forever, the day I gave every bit of me to God. I am His beloved and He is mine.
