Merry Christmas!

Although it is a day after, the meaning and important of this holiday will not pass. Jesus's life began so that hope may follow, and even more, so that we may follow him away from a cliff of self-destruction, to a meadow of everlasting life (with streams and food of plenty).

"Jesus answered "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God'". 

Matthew 4:4

 Even during the times that Jesus was tempted, he stood firm. He did not succumb to peer pressure or even the desire to prove to others who he really was, instead he knew his identity and clung to his purpose. A son, who was here to do the will of the Father who sent him. God has a plan for each and every life given!

Recently I have been processing this upcoming trip to Thailand quite a bit. Just today's ago I was able to submit my visa application, and praise God, and scheduled to pick it up the 2nd of January, 2015! But what catches me off guard with these verses or even the chapter is the question that it creates. what is sustaining me?

God has a purpose for every single life. No matter how many mistakes, or how many times we try to self sustain our lives, he continues to rescue us in what ever manner possible. Out of oppression, disaster, and chaos that it may call us home and that those you see / your friends will follow too! Praise the LORD!

Thank you to my wonderful support team, who have been supporting me physically and mentally/spiritually towards this trip through prayer and donations! I can not go on this trip with out you guys. Thank you.
