It's in the air

Twice today it's current has nearly wiped me off my feet.
That smell of home, that feel of peace.
tranquility as all qualms melt away.
so simple yet so powerful.
This morning i walked outside and a gust of cool wind stopped me in my tracks.
In it was the smell of spring.
I could almost feel winter falling away as spring ascends.
It's the same smell, the same feeling as when summer subsides to autumn.
Again this evening as i walked to my car the same wind hit me.
Felt like a reassurance.
a hug during a storm.
In North Carolina or in Oregon it's the same.
Constant. Thanks God.

Prides a tricky snare

It's hard sometimes to look at yourself and truely examine the attributes of your character.
How long do we live with demons on our backs and angels in our eyes?
There's a hebrew word for pride that is translated as "a snare".
I believe that to be a very just representation of the nature of pride.
Oh how it comes and holds tight, yet we don't even see it.
If it weren't for God forcing me to face it, i never would have realized it.
A greek word for pride is "to envelop with smoke; obscure; blind".
we begin to create in ourselves as well as other a false expectation of our own skill and ability to which we can not live up to and will inevitably lead to our own fall and disgrace.
just a thought i suppose. a lesson i had to learn.

Life is weird sometimes.
it just is.
We can never fully know what to expect.
I got a rough idea of how the next couple years will look but day by day i am surprised at what happens.
"Man plans his course in his heart; but God guides his steps"
wish i could tell you where that scripture was....psalms somewhere.

I have a crazy uncertain life ahead of me. But I have an awesome constant assurance that I will always be ok. Faith leads me on. His presence guides me.

To anyone going to Bethel 09-10

So my name is David Cantrell and I love Jesus.
I'm an intern in the Generation Interns program.
I was saved in june of 2007 and moved to Oregon.
From there God worked quickly and powerfully in my life, the call the ministry laid heavy on my heart near the end of 2007. By 2008 I had decided to commit to the pursuit of full time ministry and began a group at my high school called RHS Ministries. After graduation i was added to the youth church leadership team and began preaching the occasional wednesday night. The following school year i enrolled in Generation Interns. Since joining i feel led to Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in the 09-10 school year to continue striving towards a deeper and more powerful relationship with out Lord Jesus Christ. I'm expecting a financial miracle this summer :].

As of now i don't know anyone else who will be going, i don't have an apartment or roomate set up, and no job set up.

At the risk of sounding like a creeper i'd like to meet people online so that maybe when i get there near september i'll have a roomate to split the cost of an apartment.

thats the main point of this entry.
ya, im a cool kid i promise. 19, 20 in september.

p.s.
i dont mind making female friends but i wont room with one sorry :/
