Its that time of year where everything is new again. Not just on the outside, but some newness is taking place in my heart as well. Its a cool thing…newness…discovery…and the pursuit of something much, much bigger than me.
- A lady came up to me at church and handed me a check for $600 for my Ethiopia trip. I was beside myself, and giddy.
- It’s fun having socks on, and walking across a newly waxed floor. I really like to slide across.
- God made a promise to me on April 15, 2006. It was out of the 14th chapter of Hosea. Although revealing all of it would require a whole post in itself, the basis is this: I will blossom and grow like the tree, and because of the roots, He will be made famous. I actually see this coming to fruition, and its the most amazing thing.
- I am beginning to seriously pray about purchasing a house next year.
- I am about to move into a new position regarding my job. Its an upward move. I see it as part of the God promise I spoke of a couple of bullets up…and I have been encouraged to apply for another opportunity that will be opening in May. If I get that promotion, it will be a giant upward move.
- I have started running again, and plan on running a half marathon next year.
- I am extremely content in this season of being single, but I really believe I will be married someday. I pray he has a heart for missions.
- I got to train some college kids today as they prepare for a mission trip. I really loved it. And I really love them.
- I had a mission team meeting today, and again, I really love my team members and their heart for the world.
- I am currently picking out a child to help through Compassion International…I’ve narrowed it down to two.
I might possibly be the most blessed person on the planet…I get to immerse myself in everything that I love everyday of my life. I get to teach and minister to kids; lead, organize, train and encourage people to go on mission for God; and work with and mentor college students as they struggle to figure out life….and all the while, I get to do these things as an imperfect, mistake making child of the most High God. Wow. How could anybody not want what we as believers have?
