Bon jour, from Brussels!

So many of you have probably been wondering what the heck I've been doing for the past several days. Other than our first two days that were spent in travel we have mostly been hanging around CTS Ministry school with friends. We have made new friends but it is so strange coming to a foreign country and having connections from last year's visit.  Although we have had a lot of fun, we have also been doing hard core evangelizing sessions. Here we have been encouraged and taught that it is through personal relationships and experiences that we are to share love and our faith with others. I am a firm believer that each experience has a purpose. We can only share with other people, what we ourselves have experienced. This is comforting so that we know each person has something to offer. On the other hand, it also encourages new experiences with Christ. The more you have learned and gained in life lessons, the more you are able to share with others. This should be a life mission for all who know the Lord.

Last night I was pondering the life of Christ and how productive he was with the time he was giving. From the very moment he was given life in a  human body he was avidly using every cell, and fiber, and moment working for the kingdom. The spirit was working in him and guiding him through everything. This should be our constant goal, as well. We have also been given new life in a human body, thus we should also be using every cell, and fiber, and moment working towards the kingdom. Sometimes we do not feel as capable for completing such a large task. We forget that the same spirit that lived in Jesus lives in you today. My good friend Priscilla Shire recently pointed out to me the story of the two fish and five loaves. The disciples only saw what they did not have and did not see what they had been given. To all readers, rest assured that the Lord has provided for each of us. He tell us that what he gives is good and will always be enough. Whether it looks like it or not, we have all been given two fish and five loaves. We have all been provided for and all have something to give to the kingdom. SO GUYS. What will you make of your two fist and five loaves today??
