Update from Joel

Many of those who were regularly checking this blog to see updates have been regularly disappointed by my lack of posting.

I am sorry.

So, here goes:

Life is going pretty good around here. The weather has turned for the better, leaves on the trees, sunshining, etc. (This is how cool I am...I have an opportunity to say something that the whole world can read and understand, here's my moment to finally express myself...and I talk about the weather.)

The highlights:
Watchmen for the Nations: www.watchmen.org
I am involved in this watchmen monitoring/prayer group which is consistently munching me. (Munching is a good thing. It describes the feeling/impact of the Holy Spirit moving very powerfully in your heart/mind/life.) God has spoken some very deep things to me in these past few weeks concerning my destiny and my heart. It's funny...When God spekas, its not like He gives all the answers, but instead He assures me of his presence with me and his purpose for me. Its good, it points me away from myself and onto Him. Which is a very good thing.
So with this group I am going on a bit of a road trip next week--10 days in BC. I am really anticipating a sweet time with the Lord.

Changes Keep Falling Like Sundshine Like Rain

Well, I am entering a huge transition time in my life: all my roomates are leaving within the next 2 weeks! Again, God brings deep brothers into my life and then takes them away. I fell like by the time this journey in life is over, I am going to have deep brothers and sisters scattered all over the globe.... that is a very sweet thought. Imagine taking a trip around the globe and stopping into so many cities and seeing people you love but you have't seen is so long..that would be awesome. Some day... I guess its kind-of like the feeling that Paul had when he said that he longed to see the church in Philipi or Corinth. Following God doesn't always mean you see your heart friends all the time.

Pray for me!
