heart check

wow.

this week has included a pretty tangible word for me from the Master.

i'm so excited about what He's calling me to -- the big picture of His Kingdom coming here, now, and how He's inviting us, His Church, to extend His reign... "big picture." that's all i seem to be thinking about now. vision. community. movement. changing the world.

and jason keeps calling me.

i've known jason for almost 7 years now. he was born of a crack-addicted mother and is now an 8-year-old boy trapped in a 22-year-old body.



sweet as can be....and boy does he love to call me...and email me....and text me....and call me some more.

how can i dream of living more and more the Way of Jesus and still struggle so mightily with my own self-absorption? how can God's beautiful, helpless, hurting children be nothing more than interruptions to me?!

i trust that You, Master, are speaking to me in this....i'm listening! i trust that You are guiding me as well as i prepare to teach this sunday....
