I began my day with a view. This view, unnormal, in size, in heart, and in soal. A view of clear blue skies and mountains that looked as if they could scrape the skies. It was a view of endless possiblities, and dreams. A view of opportunity. Times pass. people go. But whats truly in our hearts continues to grow. Life is so full of own complications, that we fail to slow down and look at the bigger picture. A view...Gods View. To live a dream of helping one another, and loving them as if they were our own. A cute smile, and a warm hug always make a differnce. but when we take the time to look inside the heart of others, we accomplish things greater then we could ever believe. Complications will rise, and our faith may seem small. But if our hearts continue to love and experience the joy of others, we will rise in the eyes of our Lord Jesus.
We read a chapter out a book today in our Bible study Groups. There are Four other intern guys, and our leader Greg. The book and the author escape my mind at the moment, but the chapter was called the Barbarian Tribe. It talks about a "spirit of eternity", and an "untamed faith." Now as began to read this, my mind kinda flipped on a light. It talks about how we get to know God. That people often rely on scripture to connect with God. which in true reality is the truth. The Bible is our source. But what it is explaining, is that the Bible is not the only source. The true source is in our Minds and our hearts. It is how we connect with God on a personal and sometimes physical way that leads us through our lives. the "Spirit of God"..... It states that to know God in the scriptures always went beyond information to intimacy. Now we may find ourselves uncomfortable with this reality, but the faith of the scriptures is a different faith. It sometimes leads us beyond the material world, into an invisable reality. But to realize that faith, that untamed faith. the essense of Love, passion, hopes and dreams, is the true spirit of God. and this spirit, can only be obtained by those who truly open up there hearts and there minds to Jesus.
May we all find that untamed faith in our hearts, and connect with the true, and eternal,... spirit of God.

Hey guys! Victoria's mom gave me this site and I'm so glad she did! This is too cool getting to see and read exactly what you guys have been up to. I have never been on a mission trip, but I have always thought about what the experience would be like. I talk and talk about doing things but when it comes down to it, I think to myself, "I can't go, I have to work, I'll be missing out on way too much stuff at home." But watching you guys helping so many people IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY, not caring if you're getting paid or not truly is an inspiration. Seriously, what you guys are doing is awesome! Adam, some of your blogs are so deep that I don't believe you are writing them. Is there someone else writing it for you?? Just Kidding. They are so well detailed and very meaningful...I'm impressed! Well, I know you guys are having an unforgettable experience already...and there's many many more days ahead of you. Good Luck!! Keep doing what you're doing! Love you guys, Liz Reed
