I'm Going Home!

(Goodbye)
Bellos Beach, Oahu -->

My last Post was at the Beginning of SBS and this post is at the End. Pretty lame on my part , I am sorry guys and girls who read in disappointment of my commitment to continual updates.

This is our last week of class. We are studying the Book of Revelation. First time reading it was this week. Pretty intimidating until you understand the Original writing context.
I am going home soon. almost 3 years ago I became a Christian had my life flipped upside
down literally and have been in YWAM ever since. Some of my family still is not "saved" and my church at homes knows me as the guy in missions. Time to change that. I have a burden in my heart for my family. I am tired of hearing other people tell me "God has his hand on your family" and not being able to be there for it. I may be dumb in some ways to want to be involved but its my family and I am so excited to go home and be a part of what God is doing. He is closing the door here for me at Honolulu. If I can give a 2 year commitment to the mission field, young people, and the lost. I can give 6 months commitment to my Family. Im excited Im nervous Im scared Im ready Im confident. I know where God wants me. I am grounded in Faith Deeper than I thought I ever could be. I am more patient than usual and Willing to serve in any way possible. Time to come home. Time to see the Faithfulness of God in my family and see his hand instead of hear about it. I am so thankful for my church at home. To give to a young kid who in some ways is bold but also blind. I praise God that people can see his character in me even when I cannot. Thank you all of you for your prayers that moved mountains in my life and for those who labors long hours of the day spending your lives to financially support those on the field. What you guys is seen in Heaven and rewarded greatly. It truly is the concept of laying down your life for a friend in my opinion. To put your vision and dreams into the hands of others an work and slave a job to see it come to pass. Praise God. Because you know what. for 6 months I will do that. and I also know
of the Joy it brings. It is unexplainable!

Goodbye Hawaii with beautiful majestic sunsets and beaches. Goodbye friends that I have gone so deep with and experienced life in so many ways that will maybe never happen again. Goodbye Paradise in more ways than one.
Hello Home, family, friends, hello exact place where God wants me!
