We were meant to Live for soo much more...

While He lived on earth, anticipating death, Jesus cried out in pain and wept in sorrow as He offered up priestly prayers t God. Because He honored God, God answered Him. Though He was God's Son, He learned trusting-obedience by what He suffered, just as we do.
Hebrews 5: 7-8

Ethiopia

So, I have this amazing opportunity to go to Ethiopia during June and July of this year to work as a missionary and document the beginning of and opening of a new orphanage. I would be doing some documentary work as a videographer and photographer, as well as just giving my time and efforts to help with the work around the orphanage. I am pretty excited to have this opportunity and privilege and to start praying for this mission and place.

If it is one thing I have learned over this past year, and truly over a years time now, is that self abandon and patients with prayer is definitely one way GOD has changed my life and brought me to the point in life where I am now today. I'm completely grateful of the grace and Mercy that our Father GOD has lavished upon our lives, hearts and souls. With out, we would be no where, go no where, and be nothing. Because of GOD, however, we are who we are, living and doing life where we are.

  1. Hey Phil, thanks for the comment! :) I didn't realize you were gonna be in Africa so long...that is so awesome! & working for the orphanage in Ethiopia sounds like a really amazing opportunity! God is totally gonna use you for his work there...& that is amazing.

    I also read your previous note about cameras...that Diana sounds pretty sweet. I got a Fisheye from lomo ($20 on clearance at UrbanOutfitters!!!) over the holidays...but of course the range of photos available with that camera are somewhat limited...:( but it's a cool camera for what it does! :)
