We are here!  It's here and it doesn't feel as if we have arrived.  Toni and I arrived to the hotel in which all the World Racers are staying and one of the first things I was told was that my room was with 4 other DUDES and not my wife.  What Jeremy wants is beginning to be taken away from me and my flesh is struggling with it.  I sit in my room by myself waiting for my other "Dudes" to come, while spending time with the Lord, knowing that I need to be filled by God before starting this journey that begins TODAY!  I feel as if I'm so calm, but know that's going to come to a crashing hault.  I'm scared to completely submit to HIM, but know the beauty of full submission to God.  It's SO easy yet SO hard at the same time.  I'm so excited for this journey to begin and watch God (The Potter) completely reshape my(the clay) life.  I want my selfishness to be taken away from me.  I want to become a man of humility, a man who learns what it means to REALLY LOVE!  To really understand the amazing idea of "die to self" yet make it a reality.  To really live my life where I die to myself and llive to what I know Jesus wants of me.  

Father, make this a reality no matter the cost.  

I pray that you would all be humbled and challenged by our blogs as we let you in on our lives.  I'm so excited not only for us as we embark on this crazy journey, but I'm also excited for you to be apart of our journey and hopefully you will be encouraged and challenged by what God is doing in our lives.
