i doubt that many people will get to experience what we world racers have or will get to experience with regards to our journey. i view this trip as being a paradigm shifting, worldview rocking opportunity that will set the course for the rest of my life and prepare me for what God has already laid out before me. living out the great commission should be (though not always) at the top of my priority list every day. nothing is more important than sharing my faith with a world that is desperate to hear it. i view this trip as valuable as that college diploma that i am so fond of. but guess what?! that trip is still about 6 months away. i look forward to momentous events in my life, and i am sure that most people feel the same. however, i think the temptation for me is that i am looking 6 months down the road while not paying attention to the day at hand. i think in my bio i stated that i do not want to coast through life but rather living every day intentionally as not to waste it. it seems that over the last month (right in line with the holidays) instead of living purposefully, i am coasting in order that the next 6 months will be easy but will also move along as fast as possible. this is really just a reminder to myself that God has appointments and opportunities for me every day where i am in little rock. so my new years resolution (through june anyways) is not to be lazy, not to put off work that God has for me but to seize every possible moment for His glory. that is all for now, i am off to get refocused!
