Its been a while
Hey guys, I guess it really has been a while since I posted about whats going on in my life. First off I wanna just say that God has really been showing me things in my life that Ive somewhat either forgotten or taken for granted. Like you guys. I've been really thinking about Kaleo lots lately and have really been connecting well with alot of Kaleo 4. My last serious post was about how I missed home, this one is along the same lines (cuz I really do miss home :( ) but I guess I haven't really been me in the last little while. Haha, I used to work my lil toosh off trying to keep updated with you all (maybe too much) but the fact is I hadnt really done it all lately. Even being here @ Briercrest with Parker, Brady, Lampard, Kailey and Linsey IO feel as though I'm losing what Kaleo is all about...community. I love all you guys dearly and Kaleo has really helped shape others becuase of me. I wanna say that I do love you all and Im sorry if maybe I've lost a bit of contact. In the past few days I've called Craymer, Haws and Marrissa. Ive also called Mikayla and Jordan but I never get answers. Anywhoo, it felt so good to just pick up the phone and chat. I really somehow lost it all and missed it.
But back to me. Well some of you have maybe heard this already but well...I will most likely not be returning to Briercrest next year. I know you all heard of my story about being a youth pastor and all, getting a BA in Christian Ministry and working f/t with youth. Well say goodbye to the BA aspect. Latley God has really really been making my heart ACHE over the youth back home. I called a few of them yesterday and some of them were having problems with thier current leader. I really feel as though, yes, I dont regret coming here (BBC) this year, but man I cannot stand being away from ministry (even though Joe's is an amazing place for me) I feel God calling me to the youth NOW. I cant wait 2 and half more years for this! Its a big leap of faith, a BIG one. My parents dont even know yet and they will flip, cuz they just dont understand those "unexplainable" God moments. So if you could please just pray for me I would Love that, and I Love you guys. All of you.
So yeh, these pics are form my trip back to BBC after Mod-week, LOL, I went out of my way just a tib-bit. And the others are from mustache day..LOL Oh and yeh Joes last saturday, lol, i danced for 2 and half hours srtaight. It was Disco/Hippie night* (im still incredibly sore)
Love you all, Dios te Bendiga mi hermano's eh hermana's en Cristo!!!!

Hey derkson... it's great to hear from you. I feel the community thing too buddy, I know I have made efforts to hang out with you guys but sometimes our schedules and yours... just don't work, and as for keeping in touch with people I don't see every few weeks, let's not even go there. I do feel that our community has grown apart a bit and that the compassion we once had in our group is slowly fading away.... I feel that for reasons... but anyways I'll be praying for you buddy, we'll hang out more!
lemme use a downer (a line from Downey) "Yeah we Will!!!"
Hey Derkson,
I know exactly what you mean when you say it's a really long time to wait. I was even considering dropping out of college to find something in Christian Ministry. But God called me to be patient so I'm gonna stick it out for at least next semester, and then I'll see if God's calling me into ministry or back into Bible college.
So I know a bit where you're at. I wish (and pray of course) all the best to you, and I hope you find peace once you get back into your youth group. Dios te Bendiga amigo!
