It’s not by accident. I am here for a purpose. To learn and serve is the obvious answer. I say YES to that AND… There is more to this eternal life than I could ever imagine. I want the more. I want the real thing - full communion with God. I want to walk in a constant awareness of The Lord’s presence.

For me, it’s about:

• Letting go of the numbing distractions I have collected in my life

• Confidently walking in who the Father says I am

• Defining what “healthy” looks like for me physically, spiritually, and emotionally

• Creating sustainable rhythms for carrying a kingdom mindset in my life/marriage/friendships/career

• Learning to live out a culture of generosity in community

• Eagerly encouraging and celebrating other people’s gifts

• Living in a worship atmosphere

This list is selfish. I think it should be. I refuse to let these 11 months go by without soaking up all I can. If I am going to learn from, love, and serve people to the fullest -  it’s going to be found in the overflow of sitting as close as I can to Jesus, and from learning who He has specifically made me to be and confidently walking in that identity.

It's Day 3 in Chile. My word for this year is "Journey". I have a key with that word carved into it. There are already so many stories to share!

More updates to come...

Live in His Love,
