In just three days I will be leaving everything behind and launch for the World Race. I am so blessed to be where I am at and it is totally because of God's favor. EVERYTHING this year has been because of Him. The transition from my job to the fundraising support that has been given to me thus far is all because of walking in the will of the Lord. In fact, this whole next year is going to continue to be just that, a journey of a boy surrendering everything. I've felt all along that my year in missions was not just about me, but more for bringing you, my readers and friends, along for the ride. I really don't think much of myself, but I do think much of God, so anything and everything that happens this year will be for his glory and his glory alone.

Folks, dying to myself has never felt so good because it is really shocking how prideful, jealous, selfish, lazy, and sinful my flesh really is. In this past year God has shown me that my identity is in Him, and that my sonship is all due to Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Sin that once bogged me down and the shame I used to cover over myself no longer has a grip on my life because I truly believe that God sees me as worthy. I hope that you too know that you are worthy because when you grieve and surrender your "old self" you will realize that you have power in the name of Christ to be free of anything the world, the enemy and the flesh throw your way. It is then that you will fully realize how free you actually are.

So it is time to let go and come with me this year on a journey deep into grace, love, and humility.

In Christ Alone,

Trent
