"When things go wrong you ask yourself, 'How can there be a good God?' I think the conclusion that I come to is that both faith and doubt are equally logical choices in the face of a tragedy.' ...Faith is to say, 'Yes, the future will have pain but there is a meaning and a purpose deeper than that pain.' For me, that isn't a choice to believe rather than doubt." -Jon Foreman in Switchfoot's inspiring documentary, "Fading West"
Also, it's been a phenomenal few months here at YWAM Honolulu. We've trained several dozen students who will soon be preaching the gospel in Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, The Philippines, Greece and Indonesia. I spent most of my days volunteering within the accounting office, where we process support for missionaries serving in Asia as well as Europe. I look forward to three weeks at home over Christmas and then a hasty return to Honolulu where I'll be one of five staff members preparing for a school of over 22 students starting in mid-January. Three of us will then take teams to different parts of Asia for ten weeks starting in April.
This past quarter I've learned that like a good father, God helps his child stand up. Over and over again.
Peace and blessings to you,
Brice Livingston
