I have not done a very good job of letting you know about my life right now.  As of yesterday, I leave for India in 3 weeks, but in the meantime, I am attending Project Searchlight.  Project searchlight, is a program that is just beginning for World Racers that have returned from the field. It is a 2 week schooling (in so many words) in how to put our “kingdom dreams” into action.  We will have teachings from Seth Barnes (the mind behind Adventures in Missions) and other men and women who have dreamt big and made these dreams into reality.  We will receive one on one coaching on how to develop a life plan.  My desire for the end of these 2 weeks is to have steps drawn out that need to be taken to put my heart into action.  I will later describe my Kingdom Dream.  

Today has been day 1 of the program, and it is intense already.  Our days are very structured with so much piled in.  I get very overwhelmed very quickly, and when that happens, my natural tendency is for my mind to shut down.  My prayer for these next 2 weeks is that not to happen.  With all this to say, I became really alive tonight.  I was listening to a couple of girls describe where their heart lies and it got me so excited for them.  One explained 3 desires that she would like to see happen but as she was explaining all of them to me, one really seemed to fit her and her giftings the most.  I met her just yesterday but almost jumped out of my chair and told her she had to follow that dream.  It was like I couldn’t withhold my excitement for her.  I told her that she HAD to pursue it, that I was going to keep her accountable to it and really go after it.  (I just met her yesterday)….this has made me realize that we need each other.  We need community so so much to keep us accountable and to almost help keep us focused.

Please pray with me over these next few weeks as I am here in Gainesville learning and preparing for India!
 
Thanks
