Forward

So last week we hosted a day for the local police and their families at the castle, and of course like everything in England right now it was Olympic themed… (I just can’t get away from it). So my job during the day was to walk around with a flaming Olympic torch with a set of human Olympic rings (People holding hula hoops) (no I’m not joking) and to ask people Olympic trivia. So as a group we ran around and they would assemble and I would hold the torch. Tyler with a torch…hmmm… So naturally I burnt off the ends of my eyebrows, eyelashes, and the front of my hair. I guess that in some way this was a blessing. With the stench of my scorched hair following me around, I don’t have to worry about impressing the ladies. Just my fantastic luck, Sorry Mom no wife this year.


I’ve been thinking about God’s plan a lot lately. There has been a lot of conversations about what is next after Capernwray. In the past I know that I have said things to the effect of, God will show me what to do, or what ever I do God’s will is will be done. But now that I think about it, I feel that that was kind of a copout statement. I know that the Lord has a plan for me but does that mean that I can just sit back and wait for something to happen? You have to work for toward whatever is next.
Before I came here I think was the first time in a long time that I felt that I had really started to grow in my walk with the Lord. class="MsoNormal" style="textn enent: .5in;">
(PS) I got to go to London! Can’t wait to tell you all about it in the next post!

And thank you for the letters! Mail is like gold here!
