Last weekend photos

Here's all the gang at the beach we visited on Saturday. This is all the students as well as other people who are just part of our family over here. We have 13 full-time students in total, one of them is actually living seperately on the island and originally here to study Karate. Praise the Lord, good times at the beach. : )

The jungle oasis to the right is a little waterfall swimming area toward the northern part of the Island. This serene little getaway was quite the experience. The water was a perfect blend of rain water and fresh spring water, maintaining a crisp cool to it. The rain decided to join our little party and only added to the beauty of the whole scene. God is so good you guys! Being a relentless explorer at heart, I decided on climbing about half way up the waterfall and jumping off into the pool below. I think it freaked Tommy out a little bit, but it was a blast.


As for the picture below, this is the beach we went to on Saturday. The water was beautiful! There's no real waves anywhere on the island, so the ocean is pretty much one big salty swimming pool. This picture was taken from a metal pole shooting out of the ground that I decided I had to climb up.

Well that's all for now, I'll probably posting some more pictures and writing and all that good stuff soon enough.

Verse for Today-
"The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing." Zepheniah 3:17

There's actually a catchy little song for it that was in my head. But isn't that awesome, he quiets us with his love. This is part of a prophecy in Zepheniah talking about the Messiah's Kingdom that will be set up in the future, but for now, we can find this awesome truth to be true in the ministry of the Holy Spirit; the ministry of God in our hearts. A beautiful reminder throughout our days, the love that God has for us.

Hey man. I just started... well rediscovered my blogger. I figure I will use it a little bit. Anyway, sweet verse! It's one of my favorites. I like the ides that God rejoices over us with singing. I wonder what that sounds like huh?
