Have you ever heard the phrase –

“You can’t
get enough of a good thing” ?

I would have to humbly
disagree
.
 
 

I have spent the last 8 years
more or less developing
myself
.

4 years at a Christian University
— The 2008
World Race
— A year getting discipled in Colorado — The 2010 World Race
— And lastly 6 months at the G42
Leadership Academy
.
 
 

Now I did some good in those years for sure.

And God produced a lot of fruit through my life.

But there was a large focus
on self-introspection and
my own personal growth.
 
 
G42 pushed me to transition out of that.
 
 
 
As I thought about what I wanted to say at our graduation
banquet –

One phrase kept going through my mind.

I felt pregnant.
 
 
 
 
 
Another way of saying it?

I felt full.

And not the kind of
full
that you feel after a Christian
conference
or summer camp as a
kid.

Or even the kind of
full
I felt returning from the World
Race
.
 
 

I have new weapons to fight the enemy and bring Kingdom.

I have a network of mentors and peers whose hearts beat
like mine that I will be proud to stay connected to.

I have a healthier mindset, stronger determination and a
deeper appreciation for life.

I have a vision and am ready to commit to it.
 
 

The major transition has
been made in my life.

It’s time for me to move away from self-introspection
and plunge much deeper into giving my life away for others.

No more Training
or Discipleship
schools. No more Programs.
 
 
 

It’s time to go
give birth to something.

It’s time for me
to produce life!
 
 
 
Don’t get me wrong I would love to have stayed at G42.
 
Spent more time gleaning from the staff, enjoyed the community
and go on some more hikes overlooking the Mediterranean.
 
(And I know I will need to continue to grow, be discipled and learn new things)
 
But in doing that the focus would be back on me.
 
 
 

The joy of life is using all we have to love and serve the
world around us.

It’s time for me to step a lot deeper into that.
 
 

I have a vision. I have a plan. And I
am very excited about it.

You will find out about it in my next
blog – Stay tuned……..
