Time Travel?

Blink. Now blink again. That's how fast my time here in the Philippines has felt like, a flash a blink, of an eye. But even in the quickness of time being out on the mission field a little over 10 months, having gone through East Africa and now The Philippines,God has shown up, come alive and has moved in  ways I couldn't even describe.
 
 Peoples hearts and lives have been forever changed not because of me, but by my Heavenly Father using me, in any way necessary!  Whether its playing with kids during the hottest part of the day just to pick them up so they can make a slam dunk or it's just simply to pick them up and hold them so close so they know that they ARE loved. Or even just to see them laugh and smile, my heart goes crazy!  But even simply  its praying for a family who just lost a loved one. Or even a family who has just lost everything due to a recent storm that hit and changed their lives forever.
 
Here in the Philippines it has been  just that! God has made known of His beauty and His Grace, that is truly always enough! He has made the hearts of those that are broken, remade and then brought back to life! He has touched them with Loving Hands, rescuing and healing them in their time of need. He has shown up and has made their hearts into that of a Warriors Heart.  With His Loving Hands and His Warriors Heart inside of them, they are touched and changed forever! He  has used not only me but also those along side me to bring His Mighty everlasting 
Freedom. His eternal Grace that proves to ALWAYS be enough. And His Thunderous, ROARING voice that breaks through even in the middle of their storms!
 

Over the last three months i have gotten a beautiful blessing to work with the CCS,  Cutro Christian School. Alongside with the children's home,  I spent most of my time with the most amazing kids, on the street. They fight to survive each and everyday, going day by day simply just living to earn the little money that they can get, even in their weakness, He has made them so strong! As they fight to survive i fight right alongside them, Giving EVERYTHING i have and Leaving NOTHING Behind to bring His Freedom to them!
 
 It is truly a blessing and an honor to be a Son of our Heavenly Father to reach out to these people these street kids and all of His beautiful children here in the Philippines and all around the world!
 
 God has formed and remade me into a man of courage,  with a fearless heart to go wherever and do whatever He calls me to do! He has worked in and trough me yet again, I am changed remade and reformed, both my heart and my mind, making me more like my Heavenly Father each and everyday.  With a BOLD heart and a CLEAR mind, He has made known to me who i am, who He calls me to be and most importantly who He calls His beautiful children that i see out on the streets every single day. 
 
Sure these three months have seemed like time travel but what He has in store for me next will be nothing compared to the amazing journey He has taken me through. I have been to places I never thought I would go. Seen things and felt things I only heard about in stories. I am not only changed, but He is continually changing not only me, but also those that He has touched here in the Philippines and all over! His Love has poured out and His Grace has set a burning fire inside each and every heart! As I leave I know for a fact that these people, this community, this country is forever changed, as time continues to go  on,  weather it feels like time travel or it goes by slowly, there is one thing I know for a fact…
 
The Philippines will never be the same!

ISAIAH 55:12

"You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all of the trees of the field will clap their hands!"
