There are seasons of life that have come and past. In every season I have grown in some way or another. But at the end of each season, it seems like I get convicted on how I or that season could have been better. For example, when I got out of high school I was reminded of all the times I was called to lead some type of Christian group or prayer group, and I never did. Then in the season of my first career, when I quit my job I was reminded of how a Christian should be in a workplace. Meaning to be different and work for your company or boss like you are working for the Lord. (Eph 6:7)
So as I start the World Race I want to tell all my followers and supporters my anthem. By doing that, I hope I can keep myself accountable for what I want to do and what I feel God is calling me to do. I might add to this as I go along but here is the start.
Over the next year, I do not want to be afraid to do what the Holy Spirit leads me to do. I do not want to shy away when it gets scary or run when it gets hard to be in the places I am. I don’t want my own insecurities to keep me from doing anything. I want to live in the in the supernatural, and not get weirded out by it. I want to be a rock for the people around me and a man of peace in the middle of storms. I want God to keep strengthening my strengths and for him to show His power in my weaknesses. I want to take risks and live the risky life that we are called to live. I want to go to the risky places, talk to risky people and if I have to, drink some risky water. I don’t want to go to sleep any day this year saying I wish I would have done this or said that. I want to do things that are uncomfortable and way outside my comfort zone. Like Paul Wrights in 2 Corinthians 12:9: “Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses so that the power of Christ can work through me.” So over the next year, I will live in my weaknesses because I want to see the power of God over this time I don’t want to see what I can do. For this year is for His glory alone.
