Is it just me or since training camp has that FIRE that we all had slowly start to dwindle and fizzle away…? It seems very easy to get back in a routine and do exactly what we have declared not to, wait for our mission to start in January… I know it can be hard because we came home and tried to pour out everything we were filled with at camp on to friends, family, and even complete strangers while not getting that same fill. For me, my tank ran dry long ago… What we have to realize is that the field will be no different. We will not have Michael Hindes there with us every step of the way bringing us the BREAD, fresh baked and delieverd hot. We have to learn how to feed our own radical fires at some point. The World Race is not the Babysitters Club, it is not a vacation, it is a time for a us to tap into what God offers us freely and share it with the world. So I have to ask myself, why am I not tapping into it like I was at camp, why have I become content once again with the typical cookie cutter church routine, why have I quit feeding myself…? It is like we are just trying to claw our way to January then the journey begins, then we won’t be afraid to stand out, then we won’t be afraid to speak up. Ladies and gentlemen our time is NOW, lets finish this chapter strong because we are just as accountable in this chapter as we will be in the one that starts in January. I watched this video and it snapped me back to the reality outside of the “american dream”. As we go through the hoildays lets remember to think about what the rest of the world is going through while we are opening gifts and eating plenty.
