Hey! One week till I leave for the World Race! There are so many thoughts and emotions going through me right now. I decided I would share my first entry from my World Race journal…now don't  think you'll be reading my journal all year long! Sorry, not going to happen, but you do get to read this one! Also, I'm currently at the OneThing conference at IHOP-KC and some off these questions have been settled and answered through people speaking prophetic words into my life.There may be another blog highlighting what God has stirred in my heart since I've been here at the conference. But without farther ado…

December 26th, 2011 -Ponderings & Questions
Wow…where does one even begin to start writing a journal for a journey God has had me on, and especially the one set in front of me for the next year of my life…THE WORLD RACE!
   I’m experiencing such a huge variety of emotions right now.
So many unknowns….
So many questions….
So many cliffs to jump off of….
So many doors waiting for me to walk through….

Lord, what about the people here at home that need me? The tears roll down my cheeks  thinking about all the lives I’ve put my heart into the last year. 
Where will their journeys take them in the next year? God please raise up someone else to continue calling them to greatness in you. Daddy, I surrender them into your hands.     
Daddy, what does this next season of my life hold?
Will you break my heart?
Will you and I become more intimate?
I want to walk through this next year in absolute surrender trusting you with the trust of a child, yet fighting for my team, the “least of these”, the lost, with the heart of a barbarian warrior.
Holy Spirit, will I hear your soft, gentle voice leading me through the heat of the battle?
Will I walk in complete surrender??
   Daddy, here’s my rights, my pride, my abilities, my dreams, my passions…I’m laying them down like Peter, James, and John laid down their nets…they’re all yours, and I simply choose to follow you…
