[The Rainbow Before Church On Sunday]

Hey everyone.  I’m slamming busy lately.  I’ve taken over the role of personnel director here at YWAM Honolulu and we’re preparing to set up a booth at the HIM conference which is Hawaii’s biggest Christian conference, which means I’m working on getting some things for that ready, along with getting our new website ready to launch.

We recently booked all of our tickets for our trip to the Philippines and are excited about that!  If you want more info on that trip, or are interested in making a donation click here.

We recently celebrated Jess’ birthday.  We took a little “trip” to France to celebrate.

I feel like God is highlighting a few things to me tonight.  I just returned from our weekly homeless outreach in Waikiki which I’ve really fallen in love with.  I’m feeling a bit scatter brained too so I’m hoping this post makes sense.

Something that blew my mind tonight as I was driving a 15 passenger van down to Waikiki was  that none of my students knew the Lords Prayer.  Pastor RK had asked all of the homeless people to pray the Lords prayer for Waikiki for the 40 days of Lent.  So I told our students that we should pray it… and none of them knew it.  It makes sense though, the kids that are ten years younger than me, have grown up in non-traditional churches, or grown up not in church at all.  It makes me believe even more in the need for our organization.

Other than that, God is highlighting faithfulness to me.  Faithfulness, means being faithful and obedient to what God has said no matter what.  Showing up every week, whether you feel like it or not, not allowing your life to be dictated by your emotions.  God would you make me a more faithful person in every area of my life.

And the second is compromise.  So many of the homeless guys we work with down there can QUOTE scripture, and are drunk or high. I wrote a bit about this last year.  But these guys didn’t just end up here.  Small areas of compromise started… and weren’t kept in check, and destroyed their lives.  God that you would help me crush any areas of compromise in my life.

Engage:  Where do you need to be more faithful in your life?  Or what area of compromise do you need to stomp out?  Share with us in the comments.
