There comes a time when the crap needs to get in the car.
The idea of moving, the concept of change, the dream of things to come is fine and dandy, but without action it's all just vapor.
If God has taught me anything this past year it is, "faith is an action." God did not say to Abraham, "Here is your new nation...you should go there,"...He said, "Get out of your country to the land I WILL show you." (Genesis 12:1) If we want to see God move then we can't stand idly by. If we want to hear God then we have to take our ipods out of our ears. I have absolutely no idea what the future holds. I don't even know what it will look like. But I know God goes before me (Psalm 16:8). I know that I plan things in my heart but He directs my steps (Proverbs 16:9). And I am excited. Sometimes I feel like the world wants me to work out the logistics of every path that I will take, but that's not reality. That is not how life works. Even if I planned out everything...plans change. Heck, I thought I would be living in London working for ChristChurch right now. But God knows better the plans He has for me. And all I can do is trust that and take a step forward.
So that is what I am doing. Tonight, (well technically tomorrow), at 3am Eastern Standard time I will embark on my cross country road trip! Connecticut to Chicago in 15 hours. With hope and in faith I get in the car, crap in tow:-) I'll let you know how it goes...
