Well, I'm on the other side of the ocean... So far, so good. People have been incredibly kind to me. I feel underservedly blessed.
I went to Willow Creek's Axis service tonight - the sermon was good. It was all about the tongue, and how we really need to be watching what we say. Nothing new, but a needed reminder. It triggered some thinking about this past year.
Man, I have really struggled. I can't really put it into words, but it's been a difficult year. I hope this new environment will motivate and hurl me into a thirst for God and His Word. I really need - and I really want - communion with Him. Communion with others. I pray this place will provide that.
I know I need to be far from home and all that entangles me there. I'm excited about these coming days, these coming months, these coming years.
God, I know I have payed a lot of lipservice to You without really backing it up with any actions. Please take my heart and transform it completely. Free me from the things that I've let entangle me. Free me from the need of approval. Give me a thist for You that will have me drikning from Your Word and from Your Presence daily. Help me find myself in You. Because You are the only one who's worthy. I love you, Jesus, and I want to come back to living every day, every instant for You.

Axis, ou es tu?

Hey hey ! I don't want to sound like the voice of "mauvais augure", but I feel like you need to be careful, guard your heart and discern very good friends and mentors you can surround yourself with right now, because when you are on your own in a new place you are very open to attack. You also need others to challenge you in your Walk, not wait for God to supernaturally challenge you.
... Wow. You're at Bill Hybels' church... ooh! That's awesome... Keep going to that church. Don't look any further...
God Bless You Sister!
