Crazy dreams, bad coffee, and a conference call. A strange start to a typical day. Except that today I have a very strong feeling that God is moving. Two of my friends have been in Haiti for the past week. Their Facebook posts and Twitter updates pull my heart and remind me that I had crazy dreams in a very comfortable bed, drove my car on safe streets to get a cup of bad coffee, and am blessed to have the job I have, conference calls and all.
My good friend Jeff sent me a link to this video from Audrey Assad. A few times in my life, I've sensed God moving like a mighty wind, stirring hearts into action around the world. As I type this, I'm listening for his voice, hoping to recognize it, and wondering what my response will be.
CYO convention is right around the corner. I've been asked to give one of the keynote talks - an invitation that humbles, excites, and scares me all at the same time. It's the 50th anniversary of the convention in our diocese, so the convention theme is Solid Gold. Staying with the "gold" theme, I've titled my talk, "Going for the Gold!". I'll be dancing around two verses: John 10:10 "... I have come that they would have life, and have it abundantly", and Job 23:10 "But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold." So far, God has given me two songs that I can't wait to share with the audience.
And I'm still trying to figure out what my one word will be for the year. It's coming to me. I just can't seem to put it into a word yet.
