“The single most richest place you can go is into a cemetery!”
Life is changing… My heart is being stirred…
I have become a morning person. My heart is growing and molding. I am being challenged and pressed forward to make a plan, pray and go.
But is going what it is about?
Oswald Chambers wrote a statement that has been kind of wrecking me inside to out. This statement is that instead of saying, “Go” we should say, “Live.” “Live therefore and make disciples of all nations.”
We get wrapped up in the going that we forget we are living. God has been speaking to me a lot about intimacy and taking risks. Taking a risk that you can get hurt or taking a risk to dare to dream about making a difference. Even taking a risk to go against the comfortable and the routine.
It is in the unknown that we can truly find ourselves living.
And I have felt alive.
Andrew was having dinner with us the other night and he got a giddy glimmer in his eyes. “Drive the stake into the ground!” he said. “I want you guys to really consider pioneering something. The front line is the safest place you can be. It is where you really start to get that this is REAL!”
Pioneering is a scary word. It comes across as a challenge, a question and a statement.
I was lying in bed, thinking I want to be pioneer. I do not want to leave anything behind.
“The single most richest place you can go is into a cemetery!”
In a cemetery you will find paintings that were never written, organizations never started, songs never written, love never expressed, books never written and ideas never resulting in anything more then a thought.
There is a horrible movie that came out not to long ago that ends with a great declaration:
“Take up a cause, Fall in love and Write a book.”
I am starting to dwell in the journey. There are things in my life that I will not leave unfulfilled in a cemetery. Things are coming to life. I am joining dreams and creating dreams.
What is God’s Point?
It is really easy, it is you and it is me!
I have found my place. More or less I have found myself in the season I am living. Between the brain rattling slaps and the “rise up man of God’s” I have found a piece of myself that is not content in just justing. I am living in fullness. It is not easy and there are still a lot of questions to ask and things to actually do and not just say. Sometimes I wonder what I am doing being back in class and not just “doing it.”
Andrew looked at me the other day and said, “Kid, there are two things that you need to continually do. Check your heart and check your intentions!” My heart is full and my spirit is alive.
I am beginning to work on a vision project working on something huge with the kids that I fell in love with in Siem Reap.
Wednesdays have become call James day. I talked to him the other day and he was completely blown away that I still remembered his number. I cannot really put into words how alive I feel talking to him and just catching up. He told me that the little flower girl remembered me and tears began to well up in my eyes. Regardless of whether that was the truth, my heart is still being filled. I do not know what awaits in the future, but it does not really matter. I tell people when they ask, that I would like to have a presence in Siem Reap for the rest of my life. The truth is, I already do. Remember James in your prayers, God still continues to blow me away with how much He loves this guy.
Blogs will continue to come more and please do not hesitate to message me to talk. I cannot say it enough that I want you guys to be a part of this journey. I want to be encouraging and pour out. I will be honest; I am an awful long distance communicator.
I love you guys!
Make a declaration today, “The Spirit is alive in me. Today is a flipping good day.”
I am excited for you guys to meet the people coming into my life. Big things are ahead of us!
I am also still looking for support. I need support for four more months, so about $4,000. I am not afraid that the money will not come in, but I am asking for assistance. If you can help you can go to http://www.g42leadershipacademy.org/donate. Thank you guys for your continual prayers and support!
