KNOW MY FRIEND JUSTIN LIKE I DO

Folks! after coming to America, a lot of good things happened to me. One of the  best ones was encountering the O'Dells. They are a big chunk of my American life. Justin O'dell is one of the few people with the cleanest heart and great instincts. He is the man of god who wants to serve people and may be yah'll could help him do that. You will love Justin if you know him like i do!
Here is what he has to say:

Hello,

I am about to be sent out on another adventure into the nations!  The organization that I will be traveling with is The World Race.  This organization expands overseas and in the States.  It consists of a journey to 11 countries in 11 months to serve “the least of these” in the midst of real and raw community.  It facilitates discipleship through the process of discovering the abundant life He promised.  It requires Luke 10 faith: “After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.  Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.  Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.”  I am one sent out or a laborer that is willing to go and lay my life down in love to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.  My offering to Jesus is my life.

I will be traveling to the following countries for one month each: Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam/Laos, Tanzania, Mozambique, Swaziland, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Moldova, Romania, and Ireland.  My launch date will be sometime in the month of September 2012, and I will not return to the States until August 2013.  Each day on the World Race will look a little different.  Some days could be slower as I will shop for groceries at the market, cook for my team, and spend time praying for the community that I walk through.  Every day will be focused on being a part of God’s Kingdom work, in every way!  I will be bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to earth where ever I go.

I am asking you to plant your seeds in fertile ground: “But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold and some thirtyfold;” Matthew 13:8.  By your prayer and support it makes it possible for the Kingdom of Heaven to be brought to earth through my life!  If it wasn’t for your amazing support then this couldn’t be made possible.  I am asking 500 people to donate $31 each and my race will be paid for in full.  May God bless your gift of prayer and or financial support.  I can’t wait to tell you all of the great miracles God does during this adventure with the King of Kings into the nations!

Love,

Justin D. O’Dell

RAINBOWS????

"Its not always rainbows and butterflies, its compromise that moves us along !" We might smile and we might sing but life sure aint pretty all the time. Holla! to all the people that carry the load of other peoples problems and try to please everyone yet their own pleasure might be in jeopardy. Dreams shatter and so do hopes but i know there is always a silver lining to the dark clouds and there is always a rainbow after the rain. That is how life should be, full of challenges and i also think it is perfectly normal to complain and be mad as long as you have a plan to overcome the stress. You gotta vent some way, either by being mad or just taking some time to hear yourself think. The world looks at you different when this one day your ever smiling face has a frown on and treats you like you did a sin by feeling bad for the sky that just fell on your world but expects your sympathy when their perfect pictures get scratched a little bit. This one is the shout out to the species that i like to call opportunists, we might jump along when you have the littlest problems and we don't expect that back from you either. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY , JUST SHUT UP PLEASE.
