This has been a while in the
making. Since my last blog I know
that launch is October 6th and I am serving with a team of AMAZING people, read their blogs and
send them some love.. Find links on my home page! WHY? 1) They have to put up with me for 11 months and 2) They have some AWESOME hearts for the Lord.
Since my last post, I have
been searching and redefining some foundations and principals that I thought
held so true in my life. I have
opened my heart and my mind for searching and reckless abandonment to be directed by The Spirit and to dissect the very principals and strengths and
weaknesses of my very character I hope to use to glorify God.
I have heard it a lot and
full heartedly believe that this year holds great change, opportunity and
experiences. I catch myself
daydreaming/praying about next month in Guatemala: the people we will get to
love on, the places we’ll live, the scenery, the jobs, the food, changing the
world, you name it I have probably thought about it!
Here in lies the problem:
community, North Carolina, the United States? My sights are focused on what could happen and not on what
is happening!!
home and it makes me sad/a little paranoid (hah this one makes me question my dependence..
Think about it?)/content in my situations/wanting someone to do something!
Sunday mornings wondering why we are not dancing all around the sanctuary to a
15 minute Spirit filled song (training camp already started ruining me haha in
a good way) about How GREAT our God is and How we are blessed beyond every
standard, wish and precedent we could possibly set for ourselves. We focus on making things better for
ourselves because that is when we will finally have the courage to attack the
bigger goal, the God goal and the very place that we should START.
So as a community of
believers, I ask, “Why do we ask why we
are being left behind when we are content sitting.” I am guilty!! I am asking myself the same things.
I think back to why I decided
on the World Race and the answer is I want to do something, I want to make a
difference, I want to find myself RECKLESSLY
ABANDONED! To find my identity
not in what people tell me but in what God speaks over me, that is all I am
seeking! Maybe not last week or
even yesterday, but at this moment it is all that truly matters!
It is time
to redefine the church to get back to our roots grounded in community and
seeking guidance from The Holy SPIRIT! It’s time to do something, I ask that you don’t end by agreeing with me but you
do something. Make a difference in
the life of someone that isn’t as fortunate as you are, support a kid for a
month/a year, find your PASSION and
attack it with the kind of ferocity that only a crazy person could and would
dream up!
I can’t do it alone and we
can’t do it either, but we don’t have to!
God sends us a HELPER and a GUIDER! Your heart is broken for something and that is no accident
and not everyone’s heart is broken for the same thing, there’s a reason for
it! It is meant for you to get up
and DO SOMETHING about it! For
ME and For YOU, It starts NOW!
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
AMAZED. For I AM going to DO
something in YOUR days that YOU would NOT believe, even if YOU were told.
