This is the tale of a journey. A journey of obedience, of daily dying to self. Whoa that does not sound like fun. Just being real. I will officially begin this journey on August 1, 2014 but for the next few days, I am in the prep stage. Planning, making lists and praying. After a few months of running from the nudges of the Holy Spirit, and years of running from myself, I have come to a place of surrender. I've said that before but something about this is different.
Part of what's different is that I am involving other people. Not just one or two but a group - a team as it were - who have committed to stick with me on this journey, pray for me and hold me accountable for the choices I make. Another difference is that I believe I am supposed to make this journey public at some point. This is no longer a journey just for me. It is a journey that is supposed to change me on its way to changing someone else. I am sure God will tell me the next step, but for now, starting this blog is the first one. It will give my "team" a place to view my progress at their leisure and when God says so a place for me to point people when they ask about the changes they will see in me. I say that by faith because right now it seems far away.
So there you have it. This blog will morph over the next 30 days and then some, but I promised myself I would get something out on this day before I change my mind!
