The other day, I was driving up 85 in the kind of morning that lasts all afternoon. I was just stuck inside the gloom. There were only four more exits to my apartment, but I was tempted to leave my car in drive, and leave it all behind. Cause I wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdict less life. And then my question came about, am I living it right?
Maybe its a quarter life crisis, just a stirrin in my soul…
I think its time for all of us
to take a close look at our lives.
What are we doing with them?
What kind of mark are we leaving behind us?

Recently I have been overanalyzing and almost freaking out about my life. I know that I am called to more than what I can even realize or imagine for my life. The Lord is truly preparing me for some great things. I might not be entirely sure what that looks like at all, but I can feel it. It is so easy for me to get stuck inside of this small picture idea as to how my life is supposed to look and where I should be. It took some great accountability by some of my amazing friends to help me see that I don’t just sit at a desk in Gainesville, Georgia. The work that I do at that office is so so SO much more than that. The work that I do at that desk mobilizes a generation of leaders to bring Kingdom to so many domestic and international locations.
As much as I would like my life to be calm, simple, organized and easy flowing… it is not. Not at all. In my struggles to make it that way, I became compartmentalized and stuck in restricting routines. That kind of lifestyle is not what my Daddy upstairs had in mind for me. Now, instead of trying to put my crazy in little boxes, I have decided to run with this “organized chaos” that seems to flow so much better for me.
Currently, I am writing this blog to you from the Philippines! I am on a set up trip for my department, Encounter. Bill is with me, and we will be meeting with Jeff Long at Kids International Ministries, and exploring all of their projects in order to confirm some details for Encounter’s june trip here. Next we will head to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to meet with lodging vendors, ministry contacts and more to create Encounter trips there in the future.
Please keep in prayer for me as I travel and adjust to the time zone here! Also that the contacts we meet with are all God ordained and logistically, everything goes smoothly. I have noticed that I sleep better knowing that I am covered in prayer.
So please, just spend a few minutes lifting me, Bill
and Encounter at Adventures in Missions, up in prayer!
