This morning... well yesterday as in Monday morning i woke up at five o-clock in the morning and felt completely horrible. I felt like puking and so i slowly made my way to the restroom and took out my retainer... just in case. Well lets just say it wasn't the outcome i expected but non the less lets skip those interesting and incredible details.
Any who, i still felt pretty sick as i was waddling back to my room and i just felt God's presence on me. I thought of something so intriguing and mind boggling that i bet you won't guess what i did. Hahah, it is so simple but it is something so underused... i two of my friends that honestly God has laid on my heart for awhile and has been growing an amazing friendship in both areas, and as i texted them i asked them to pray for me. texted They both said i would and the one friend even gave me a request which I prayed for.
Well after texting my compadres (i know that needs an accent, so how bout you read it with a spanish accent for me) Any ways, i felt like reading the Bible, i felt that God would heal me as i read his words. Well honestly i was reading the Bible, i could feel my sickness melting away. As i finished up a chapter or two i slipped back into bed with an amazing feeling... prayer works. I could feel the prayers of my friends interceding for this little sick feeling and actually healing me. I truly believe their prayers and God's word worked within me immediately. Even though i still felt a little sick as a lay down for another little rendezvous with dreams, when i woke up i felt worlds better.
I love how something so simple can heal. I love how we as people honestly under use prayer. As i have been up here God has been changing me. God has been helping me care for others, and one way that i have done that is by asking others how i can pray for them. So my peeps, any prayer requests you want to post on this little comment part. If so, do, and when they are answered repost.
But again, i find it so amazing that prayer works and that you can feel it. I find it incredible that by reading my masters love for me... it heals me. I love our Lord and i love the ways he has given us to unite and to heal.
But as i write this, i feel uneasy, i feel like i have wasted a little of my night, not from writing this but by dilly dallying with other stuff. I don't know, i just have this bad feeling. But pray for me, i have quite a long day tomorrow, starts at 9:00 a.m. and doesn't end until 2:00 a.m. And no i am not traveling back in time to be tricky. I am really going to be working with groups and getting ready for airport pick ups and other shtuff. I know this though, my Lord gives rest and peace. Amen!

Paul,
Your blog is such an encouragement to me. I am blown away by what God is doing for you and how you are growing and maturing spiritually. I am so thankful God brought you into my life even if I never got to see the jumping whales...meeting you was even better. You're a "little bro" for life. Know that you are always in my prayers and that I do have plenty for you to pray about too. Just mention my name to God. He knows all my needs and all I face. Thanks man. Keep recognizing His blessings in your life and keep looking up (even when you aren't at an air show). Much love...
Paul,
Your blog is awesome. It's amazing to read what God's doing in Alaska and in your life! He is so so great! I'm probably one of the most unlikely people you thought would read this, but it's been encouraging this summer to me to see God's work going on in another believer and on the mission field. So, as you requested, my prayer request (haha) is for me and the EBC Youth's upcoming mission trip to 5 Days in Atlanta. Just pray for the hearts of the people, the team, health and safety of everyone, and that we will glorify God in all that we do. Thanks! Keep focusing on God in all that you do!
