fiji survival.

Posted by citipointelive on Friday Mar 20, 2009 Under Life

NEW ZEALAND, here we come. Right now i am dreading our flight. We have to be at the airport and 5am, i don’t normally wake up till at least 12. Well firstly I just want to say I’m pumped for this trip. It is going to be sick to catch up with our friends from Elim, and City Impact. Also can’t wait to make so many more friends.

But the real reason i am writing is to explain the massive growth of hair upon my face. Now firstly, no, it’s not a fashion statement & I realize it is a little scary, although I am growing quite attached to it. But a week after we return from NZ a group of my boy’s and I are going on an ultimate survivor trip. Let me explain, 5 of us are getting dropped off on a deserted island in the middle of the pacific ocean just off Fiji.

This island will have no human life on it. All we are allowed to take is the clothes on our back, a spear gun, one machete, a knife each and 20 litres of water each and that is it. We will be on the island for 14 days, having to build all our own shelter, and catch all of our own food (probably going to eat heaps of sashimi). Actually we will be taking flint stones to help us create fire. So the ultimate plan of this trip is we have been shipped wrecked and we need to survive, hence the beard, I am trying to make this as realistic as possible.

Imagine a tourist boat rocked up, they would think we have been there for months. So there you have it, the reason for the giant pile of hair on my face. Really pumped for NZ though and cold weather love you all See you soon!

an incredible cry.

Posted by citipointelive on Friday Mar 6, 2009 Under Inspiration

Hey everyone

This is an incredible cry from a heart after God.
Read it, get it in your spirit, and be blessed!

I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I’ve preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop,
preach until all know, and work until He comes.

And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My banner will be clear! for “I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.. -author unknown

It’s our time!

Aaron
