So i thought it might be interesting to do an ultra brief flashback through many Junes past and see what i was up to in the last decade or so...

Date: This month, 6 years agoWith some of my students on a long layover on our way to participate in an Olympic outreach in Athens, Greece
As I looked over this short series of Junes past ( and all the pics I don't have room to post) it turns out that not a lot has changed in all these years. Sure, I have changed a lot, but the basic outline is the same: I am still in Maui doing the things I believed the Lord led me to in my late teens. I didn't know when I began serving at YWAM Maui that my commitment was to exceed a dozen years. But commitment grows. I didn't know that this many Junes later I would still be passionate about spending my years washing students feet (we still carry on that base tradition), taking pictures, facilitating missions/discipleship courses, and leading outreach teams. But passion grows.
I used to look forward at the horizon and wonder what I was meant to be doing with my life- but now I am blessed to find that looking back confirms what I am meant to be doing with my life.
