Christianity looks very different in the context of placidness than it does in adventure. Without any fear, breath-taking risk, stress or agony, we only give God access to the very superficial emotions of our human experience.
But when you're leaping at a impossible task, when you've put yourself in harm's way with the hope that "perhaps God will act on our behalf," your faith takes on a very different expression. One of the outcomes of Dream Year - besides a fulfilled dream - is a more vital life of faith.
I'm excited for the 66 (so far) participants at the Dream Year weekend in Nashville on Jan 21-23 because they're not just hoping for good things in 2011... they're making them happen. I'd love for you to join us. Register [HERE].
I'm shakin' in my boots.
Some days, it's from excitment.
Some days, it's from fear.
I love it. :)

I am so looking forward to this. The week of January 17th is huge for me. Career transition to self employment starts on the 17th and then hitting the road on the 20th for Nashville.
I feel like a little kid anticipating Christmas.

Can't wait for the Dream Year weekend. 2011 will drastically change my life, the trejectory of our family, and free us to pursue boldly after God. Excited.

i'm really looking forward to this. the nervous-excited kind. there's some trepidation and fear mixed on in there, but i know it's going to be good. it's going to reach my heart in ways i don't even know to anticipate.
