It's very strange to have your eyes opened and your spirit sensitive.
When you have God on your side, and are worshipping him, things that I may had never considered in my humanly mindset, come in revelations. You may be asking silently inside, "What do you mean, Malcolm?" Well don't worry, I'll tell you. As day 3 of Christmas break in Muchen came to a close (After spending a marvelous day in Salzburg, Austria, with Mikey, Matt, and Josh.) I went for a stroll through the lit streets of Muchen, and started praying to God, "Lord bring fire to this city." and while I was doing so, I felt like he imparted a bit of his burning desire to bring more change to this city. Although it is very prosperous and gorgeous, the hearts of the people in Muchen are broken and missing the vital piece to life that we have. God. But I highly encourage y'all to just pray through-out your day about your day, and just the city you may be in for Christmas, whether that be your home town, or a place you're visiting. God will impart some of his heart for the broken hearted.
I've realized how empty my days can be when I don't make Him the center of it all. When the Holy Spirit is invited into your heart to do what he may will, it's so much more uplifting and encouraging. Please be praying for the generation on the rise, that we will have more of a heart for the Lord.
But I think you may also want to know what has happened in these past couple days, eh?
Day 1 - We travelled for 10 hours to get to Muchen, and took many connecting trains and ran around like dismantled chickens. But through all the chaos, the peace of the Lord was pretty well on all of our hearts. But there was still a bit of stress, naturally. But after a 12 hour travel experience, we finally made it to our Hostel. After we got our bags securely put away in a locker, we watched a bit of tele, and crashed on our beds. K.O. Out for the count.
Day 2 - On Sundays in Germany. It's a day of rest. No. Not like America. Things are NOT open on Sundays. It is a legitimate day of rest. So on this day, we just went to the only places that were open: The Christmas markets. Those were pretty cool, but nothing really struck our fancy, so we just went back to the hostel and watched more tele. After a couple hours of that, we went and got some dinner. Food coma. K.O. Out for the count.
Day 3 - Woke up early after our stomaches processed the food, and our heads processed the dreams. We bolted out the door with our cameras and warm coats. We travelled for two hours and made it to Salzburg, Austria, and boy oh boy was it a sight! The mountains were absolutely breath-taking compared to the Rocky Mountains. :P But we did about 7 rounds of Christmas markets and a couple rounds of food consumption. We walked lots, rolled snowballs, and threw them at passing pedestrians. After all was said and done, we came back to enjoy the comforts of Muchen,but eventhing was closed. And that's where God's burning passion kicked in on the walk, and inspired me to update you guys.
So thank Jesus for this long update.






Have a blessed evening.
