Faithfulness

So today started off with me not wanting to get up. Reason being, I got in at 1:30 after driving for a total of 14 hours from Grove City, PA. Tiredness loomed over me all the way to work and gave me a bad outlook for the day. My attitude got worse when I found out our internet wasn't working at work, so I therefore could not download programs I needed to to get some fundraising done. Great. Then, my camera charger blew up when I plugged it into an outlet, which then preceded to catch on fire. Yippee. This day=amazing. I can't charge my camera, get online to get stuff done, and I am super tired. I was bumming around upstairs, complaining out loud to myself, and my friend Aaron Cieply suggested I go and pray for my supporters and just spend time with Jesus. So I sucked it up and grabbed a notebook that I used to write in (the last entry was in April!) and went to pray. I opened up the notebook and a couple things fell out, that brought a lot of joy to me. Two, were of art pieces of mine, and one was a sheet of paper that had a list of Gods promises and work done in me. This boosted my spirits and I started praying and thanking God for all the people He has brought into my life to support me and pray for me. As I was writing these prayers down I felt my negativity melting away and the joy of the Lord infiltrating my heart. I then went into praying and asking God for continuous provision and I was reminded (by myself) that I need a good play-around winter coat (i have a nice pea-coat, but it is really nice, not sledding material). So I finished praying and I got a call from my friend Laura Messina, and she said she was in the neighborhood and wanted to take me out and buy me a Christmas gift! So, I got a new winter coat, and some new technicolor socks! Oh how the Lord provides! So awesome. So ya, God provides and He is awesome. :) Choose Joy! I feel silly for being negative this morning, and am thankful for the accountability from my bro Aaron.

That's it! There's the story of the day :) Have a good one! :)

Thanksgiving!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I have decided to be completely cliche and let everyone know what I am thankful for!

Above everything else I am thankful for my God, my Father, my Savior and King, for He is full of grace and mercy. His provision overwhelms me, as well as His unceasing and furious Love! He is the best Father anyone could ever ask for :)

I am very thankful for the large number of people who are constantly praying for me, and supporting my ministry with YWAM financially! You enable the work of God here in Boston and in my life as well!

I am thankful for my new friends and old ones. I'm continuously blessed by my friends, they never cease to encourage me, pray for me, and be there for me. Thank you! :)

I am soooo thankful for my wonderful and beautiful Family! My awesome parents, whose Godly example has inspired me to be a man of God, my beautiful sister Rebekah and her husband Caleb, for the love and encouragement they speak into my life! My awesome brother Hastings who I am so proud of! He is the coolest dude in the world and will forever be one of my best friends. My little sister Rachel, who is so talented and gifted it's sick, always bringing a smile to my face! :) For Dave, who also is one of the coolest people I know! His humor and creativeness is freaking awesome. And last, but certainly not least (actually probably the greatest) I am thankful for Philip. He always brings joy to my heart! He always looks out for others, puts them first and is one of the funniest people in the world, no doubt. OH! and of course i am thankful for dog Esther! She is the best anyone could ask for :)

I am thankful for the countless amount of times I have had the privilege to go out on the streets of Boston, sharing the Love of Christ! I'm so thankful for the ideas He has given us to be fully effective in reaching the "lost" children of Christ!

I am specifically thankful for a few friends that I really wanna mention: Jordan Esquivel, my very dear friend who has been a wonderful brother to me, telling me when I need to shape up and encouraging me when I do something right! Jeesh, I love him! For Taryn and Alisa Wobbs, my long-lost Fargoan friends! You two are such a massive encouragement to me, and I am so blessed by you! For Spooner, dude, you freaking crack me up and really bring joy to me in a way not many people do! Miss ya bud! For a new friend, Mari, who's faith and willingness to do what God is calling her to is super inspiring to me! For Josh Keller and Jake Peterson, two close friends who have mentored me all through my teens and even now! Love ya!

I am thankful so much for my friend Joe Mills, cause He is a man who does not give up and really fights to be an honest man in God's sight! I love him alot, and am super blessed by Him!
Aaron Cip, I'm thankful for him! Yup.

I am thankful for all of my friends here who are apart of YWAM Boston! Jessi, Jer, Kandia, Kopacz, Cip, Jordan, Joe, Debra, Nehemias, John, Amanda, Rapach's, Doug and Debi, Bob Hummel, Jessica, Hilary, Heidy and Javian, Katie. You are all a blessing and amazing!

There is a lot more that I am thankful for, but for the sake of keeping things short, I'm not gonna write them! This isn't really even that short. If I were you reading this, I probably would have stopped by now! Good job for making it this far!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and never stop thanking Jesus for what He has blessed you with! Thank Him in the good times and the bad times! Peace!

moustache

For the first time in my blip of an existence I have a moustache. M-O-U-S-T-A-C-H-E is the proper way to spell it. I looked it up.

I moved into a new apartment the other day. This apartment is the bomb. I love it a lot. I have realized that as much as I want the guys I live with to be like my brothers back home...they are not. They are very different. We all are, really. Making our lives work together in our place is a stretch. I am glad to say I am heavenly blessed by the dudes that have to deal with me. They are forgiving, understanding, and convicting. This blog is dedicated to them I just now decided. To Aaron, Joe, Jordan, Ryan and Nehemias. You are all awesome and a blessing. They probably won't even read this but everyone else should know how awesome these dudes are! They rock!

Countdown to seein my fam: 14 days. heck ya. shabooya

Jesus is awesome. As usual. I'm diggin what He is doing here in the city. Praise the lord, for last week a bass player i met on the street named Bill gave his life to Christ! Pray for Him!

Made some friends at church on sunday, i joined a Church team...the welcoming committee i think. I'm pumped! God is answering prayers! It's the bomb. He is the bomb. Yup.

well, that's all for now folks until next time,

Reeves
