Looking over the past 6 weeks, and the couple to come...I want to thank all of you who have supported me with donations, prayers, and smart comments on my blog. This has been a really good look at life in ministry in the "real world" away from the safe "Moody Bubble" and it's been challenging. I'd love continued prayers for this as I go back to school too (more on that in the weeks to come)
Another group of folks are preparing to deploy in a month or so. They've seen the folks who have just come back-- they've seen them changed. And the next ones are scared, they don't want to come home different--but they will. But they will also come home to a community of believers. People who believe that there is a God, in control, working out good for those who love him. It's great to see people here reaching out to those hurting.
Sunday night we started a new study series (you "Navigators" type people will recognise) it's called TrueFaced. It's about trusting God and others with who you really are, about not wearing the masks we build for ourselves to look "okay". Already I think it's been received well. It's time for these men and women to open up to each other, stop faking life, and just be real.
Well, I suppose that's all for now. Thanks for sticking with me.

Hey sister! It's Brenden
I'm honestly shocked that the ships computers would take me to this site.
I tried calling you last weekend, but I guess you cell is no longer in service? I'll talk to you whenever I can though.
Love ya,
bye
Oh.. btw For some strange reason I can't post any comments on Emily's blopspot thinger. Please tell her I said hello, and I miss her and all the good mushy stuff.
And if her cell phone # is the same as it used to be, I'll call her next weekend.
I swear I tried to leave you a comment yesterday, but it's not showing up, so let's try this again... I LOVE YOU and cannot WAIT to see you in ONE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
