This morning we were at home... This was the morning that I was dreading more than any other speaking venue we had. Its always harder at home right? My head was spinning with all the different things that I wanted to share and trying so hard to share my heart. Mark is so good at this, he is so genuine in his expression of our mission, and so organized. Me, I write notes and set timers only to never even look at them one time. But this I know, my heart bursts with passion and I know that the call of God is on our lives for a city called Portland. I really don't have any idea what each day will bring but I know that God goes with us. And if God be for us... who can be against us!
This is the anthem of my heart... this week i was in the shower and this song started to play in my head. I knew that this was the truth and with every ounce of resolve in my heart it was the truth...
"I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back.
The cross before me the world behind me, the cross before me the world behind me, the cross before me the world behind me, no turning back no turning back.
Though none go with me still I will follow, though none go with me still i will follow, though none go with me still I will follow, no turning back, no turning back!"
I have made wonderful life long friends here in Arizona, friends for life, for eternity. Leaving them is hard. Not seeing them for a long time that is hard. But I also know that in order to fulfill God's plan and purpose for the lives of those we have not even met yet we have to leave and sacrifice everything we know here. You would think that it gets easier but it doesn't.
