Touch a Life

We need to have a "Boldness" about this amazing gift from God. I received a note this month that told me "Get out of the boat", Walk on Water, trust in the power you been given. Everyday a further understanding of an amazing realism. This gift given, the Spirit inside me, is the same powerful Holy Spirit that was inside Jesus which he received after being baptized by John. How Jesus must have felt hearing the Father saying how "pleased" he was with his Son...I need to tell my son how proud and excellent he is everyday.

This month it is not my ability but availability that He is using. The Spirits renewing of my mind has been a constant process of God speaking to me through events around me, reading the word, conversations with guys at First Baptist Jensen Beach and my dearest Friends. The Holy Spirit is on the inside doing a major remodeling...but trusting the guidance isn't easy. What did you say "walk on water?, get out of the boat?"...you will not always be led into comfortable situations. Our human frailty is often effected by FEAR, False Evidence Appearing Real. Trusting in His strength, knowing the testing is part of our maturing, it is this proving that make us most real in Christ.

The ability to share Jesus and the gift I have been given is becoming a daily occurrence. Opportunities to "Touch a Life" by sharing is exciting. Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to see the Passion of Christ acted out at St Martins. I prayed, "Please Father, let me hear your words tonight"...Wow 2 seconds later the pianist read the same scripture I was meditating on and had written in the earlier blog entry..."through my weakness...", the next hour I was a sloppy mess, thank you Kim for the tisues...I needed a box full...God was speaking to me.

Later that week I had took a truck load of surf groms, Dom, Cole and Hunter to Cocoa Beach. We surfed for the next 48 hours, well they did I carted them around. OK that night, Good Friday, on a 30ft big screen at the beach, under the stars with the waves crashing in the background we watch "Walking on Water" http://www.walkingonwater.com/. a movie about young groms that come to understand Christ on a surf trip around the world..The next day one of my boys pickup a "Surf Bible" from the Christian Surfers stand at the beach, (it's a God thing, how is all this Jesus stuff at Cocoa Beach???),..I told him.."you know thats a really good book, if you have an questions let me know"...when I dropped them off at home that night he was searching for it...Get this he wanted to read the Bible...AWESOME...I was walking on water and jumping out of the boat the rest of the weekend Jesus is Arisen it's Sunday morn!!!

Thank you all for keeping Jeff and I in your prayers. We will be Kingston, Jamaica in 30 days doing Gods work, serving all that we can present the opportunity. Can't wait to see what is next in this Life Change...

Thank you all and God Bless,
