L.A. baby
Wow L.A. was probably the coolest thing of the entire summer
I saw so many hurt people who were revealed to the love of Jesus through kids it was awesome.
So I guess now you guys are expecting some awesome story about how I talked to someone and they got saved but honestly I have nothing.
So many people have said man you gotta tell me some stories but honestly I have none.
This being my first mission trip was an experience like no other. I saw things that I really was not expecting at all.
I saw people lighting, slinging, and doing crack. I stepped over a few syringes that people had probably just got done shooting heroine with. I saw hurt people looking for pleasure in things that belong to the world that only satisfy them temporarily instead of for eternally like the love of Jesus. I got cussed at and persecuted by homeless people who thought that I thought I was better than them and that's why I was handing out cookies and water and prayers to them. I saw girls giving themselves away because they thought they were no good. and I also saw people accept prayer, and Jesus. I saw people grateful for the blessing and wanted to get back on their feet.
So I may not have some slammin story about how little billy got saved because I shared the love of Jesus. But now I can walk into school ready for whatever comes my way because I've been through it now and I know how it feels and I've seen way beyond what I'd see in a school hallway. So even though I have no stories and nothing cool. God did prepare me for what's coming this year and now I can be ready.
Love,

Well Well Well
Since the last time I posted I've had some crazy stuff happen. I've written about a dozen new poems and I'm not gonna type them because I like reading them to people instead of you reading it because I can put the rhythm I have for it and some of the pieces have different emotions but yeah.
Well Camp was freaking awesome like I couldn't even explain how much I got out of it I've been so much closer to Christ ever since. I really don't have any crazy stories or anything just an experience like that words can't come to explain. So there isn't much I can say
I did happen to get corn rolls which were pretty tight.
Also Tori Ohlerking and I accomplished to show the Invisible Children movie at camp and 20 people showed up which was awesome because these people gave up there beach time and free time to come watch this movie so I was so excited.
and this here is my favorite The wonderful Tori O. and I are now planning a trip to Africa either Mozambique or Zimbabwe for next summer and I am so flipping excited. It's gonna be an experience like no other. We're gonna do all sorts of Justice projects and fund raisers and all sorts of stuff.
well so much has happened but it's nothing words can describe I'm gonna try my hardest to blog more often.
so that's really all for now
Love,

What a summer
Well this is going to be a fairly long post so for those of you who hate reading can quit about NOW. OK you've made it this far now I'm going to tell you everything that's happened recently.
First off I want to thank everybody who's giving me prayer or money towards LA I need $210 left and I'm good to go (so I mean if you wanna hook a brotha up that's cool too lol) but you guys have no clue how much it means to me that you would give me your time and money (things that are very valuable to society now) so that I could go lead some people to Jesus in LA THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU.
Secondly I've managed to write some poetry this week and I must say God is a pretty good poet. So now I'm going to let you read them. This first one My boy Paul Musso helped me write.
You see it all starts with this thought in your brain,
That if you try to change the world people think your insane.
But you ain't gotta worry bout what people say,
Cause if you reppin God everything is OK.
Yeah people gonna say you whacked up, jacked up, tell you shut up
but don't give up, instead raise him up.
Because you see people they'll notice the difference, they'll notice the change
And then all of them they'll proclaim his name.
and now this one I wrote the other day (It's my favorite as well)
You see god doesn't care about your little reputation
He cares way more about where's your destination
He doesn't care about money or fame
He wants to know how many times did you spread his name
Did you reach out to that person show them some love
Or did you pass on by giving a shrug
God wants you to make good choices and to live well
He wants to make sure we don't end up in Hell.
We're one of God's children we're part of his name
Now go change the world and don't be ashamed.
Yeah tell me those aren't tight I'm pretty impressed personally but yeah that's that.
Finally today I was reading my cell bible. (I got the entire bible on my phone its pretty gangsta) and I read Romans 1:6 it was pretty cool so I started to read 1-6 and it kind of gave me like a five point sermon. Not literally but you get what I mean so I'm gonna share those with you.
Romans 1:1-2 says " "From Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle and appointed to spread the Good News of God."(God had already promised this Good News through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures)"
I thought this was pretty cool because us as Christians cry out for our calling like I want to be a youth pastor when I grow up and I pray about it often asking God just let me be a youth pastor. I don't know why I pray that I know it's promised and God's will is going to happen anyway but that was just a cool little thing to think about.
Romans 1:3-4 " "This Good News is about his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. In his human nature he was a descendant of David. In His spiritual, holy nature he was declared the Son of God. This was shown in a powerful way when he came back to life."
I love this because In my human nature I'm a descendant of the Barry family and only Barry's are in that. But spiritually we are all Descendants of Christ. This made me think about a movie I watched yesterday called American History X (I don't advise anyone to watch it, it's pretty gross) But it's about these skinheads and the main one goes to jail and changes and starts to accept other races besides white people and it's a pretty weird movie with a good story line. But I thought about how they actually have people who hate other Races. It's real it happens. but if we're all descendants of Christ that makes us all the same nobody's higher than the other because we all come form the same spiritual family.
Romans 1:5-6 "Through him we have received God's kindness and the privilege of being apostles who bring people from every nation to the obedience that is associated with faith. This if for the honor of his name. You are among those who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ."
This is just flat out awesome I love verse 6 "you are among those who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ" How awesome is that there is a limit to people who are going to be saved (well not a limit but it says in the Bible not everyone will be saved) but the fact that God chose us. I mean that's like something everybody wants is to be chosen. Chosen for that team, that job, that group anything we want to be chosen and God chose us. He loves us and it's so cool to think about all that he did and all we can do.
Well that's all for now I'm all blogged out so I'm gonna go I love ya PEACE

It's been a while
Well I have had a lot of request(more like demands) to update my blog so I'm going to throw two weeks of information in this blog.
So throughout these two weeks I've managed to Get in a car wreck, cut a slice out of my finger get stung by a wasp all sorts of crazy stuff. But out of all of it I realized something you have no clue what is going to happen to you and when it's going to happen. So why not go live everyday like it's you're last day just in case ya know. But it was one of those random thoughts.
Well I also noticed something else today during the twelve o' clock service today all the 40 something summer session kids sat through service and it made me think about how I use to sit there and be one of those kids. I thought if there was one piece of advice what would I tell them. and I thought about it and I figured it out I would tell them they are sitting there in that service to convict and compel. They need to walk in there and out worship, take the best notes, be the best people they can be. They are a generation with a HUGE influence. Adults see them and they think if a teen is out worshiping me I need to worship better. If a teen is taking better notes than I am, i need to take better ones. That's just how adults think. So if anybody in summer session reads this you have the hugest influence in the church so do what you do the best you possibly can pursue everything with excellence.
Well I guess that's all I hopefully update more often, so PEACE OUT
