Mitchell Swaback Charities

Saturday, February 28, 2004

Snowboarding was good 10” of new snow. I took one bad fall but I’m alright. Today God taught me about fellowship in the gospel – as long as you maintain your own personal interests and ambitions you cannot be completely aligned or identified with God’s interest. This can only be accomplished by giving up all of your personal plans once and for all and by allowing God to take you directly into his purpose for the world. Your understanding of your ways must also be surrendered because they are now the ways of the Lord. I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective and all He asks of me is that I trust Him. I should never say Lord this causes me heartache – to talk that way makes me a stumbling block. When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance. He can crush me, exalt me or do anything else He chooses. He simply asks me to have absolute faith in Him and his goodness.

Mitch's Story

For 23 years our son Mitch etched memories into the hearts of everyone he met. He was as real as they come. What he meant to us and to so many others now belongs to the legacy we will cherish forever.

At Mitch's going-home service Pastor James MacDonald used one word that best described Mitch: "Maximum." Read more >>

For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me.
