from B.C.
hey everyone,
this is aaron ( aka the “izzo”). i hope everyone is having an excellent spring and soon to be summer. i was reading what was written in the blog section and something i have been really trying to grasp came to mind:
taking ourselves away from the world as we see it (our story) and seeing it as God’s story.
ive been reading the narnia series and this idea permeates my mind every time i reading those books. each character has their role but they never know the outcome or the reasoning to the task, all that can be done is trust in aslan and follow through. hindsight is when everything is revealed.
as our lives are changing and with new decisions to be faced and new opportunites, let us be encouraged that we are in a story much larger than ourselves. i pray that we would be comforted with the peace of this understanding and that we would constantly place our trust in Him who is unchanging and worthy of our trust.
to those who know me, i love you all and look forward to the next time we see each other. until then, one tree at a time for me:)
God bless.

aaron – bigger screefs! your plug is exposed! good thots man. I see a lot of people getting paralyzed by wondering what God wants for them, I think we all experience it. As you pointed out, we aren\'t always going to know what God is doing in us and around us, and we need to just move forward with what we do know. I think some of the characters in Narnia were doing things that weren\'t even for themselves either, so focusing on their own lives would have negated the outcome. Anyhow, all that to say – good point. The story is much bigger, and we are all a part. thx.
someone once asked me to summarize my \"call\" into ministry in a sentence. i thought for sometime, and concluded with words you refer to in your post – \"hindsight is 20.20\" – my life is prevaded by this perspective. i don\'t even know how long or short this \'call\' will continue. looking forward i\'m faced with the vast horizon of my future, complete with every kind of possiblity. and i believe God is in that horizon…(perhaps like the sun, shining in front of me…lighting my path, calling me forward…i think there are such countless possibilites i could step towards in life, each with a different outcome, yet none worse off than the other – or better for that matter. perhaps in some moments one decision is best, and i desire to make it…but i often screw that up…yet life continues…in the light of the sun…) its only in looking back i see His hand sometimes…most times. like the shadow cast by sunshine. how it is that the last 7 years has placed me where i am today. i could never have planned it as it has become. it just has. and my decisions in moments have brought me here. and looking forward…i\'d hope my eyes are blinded by the light of God – and he draws me forward by his voice. and that i make the most of every opportunity i find myself in. i ramble. miss you aaron…its been too long since we talked. i pray for you. take care.
