A beginning

God has been moving me forward slowly. (Actually, if I weren't kicking and screaming, full of fear and doubt, His work would probably have gone a lot smoother). I believe God is looking for adventurers. I'm not one. He is forcing me into it. It all began with a study of Joshua. God took a slave, made him into a general, and led him to do the impossible -- take the inheritance that He promised to Abraham long ago.

That is what God is doing with me - bringing me out of slavery and out of the mundane safety of the desert and into his inheritance for me. He is calling me to plant a church, to serve my community, to show people the love of God and to lead them into his saving arms. Best job in the world, no doubt. But scary. A lot could go wrong. A lot will go wrong. It takes a lot of faith and courage. I do not have a vast quantity of either. I think that is OK. God is leading, I will follow, He will supply as I grow.

So this is the start of a blog to chronicle my journey from calling to vision to implementation of what ever it is that God wants to do with me. I'll share thoughts, fears, hopes, doubts. I'll share things I learn from doing and from study. I'll tell you the lessons I am learning from my Bible study group. (The guys I study with inspire, exhort, teach, and challenge me more than you could imagine).

Add your comments, insights, whatever. Thanks for sharing the journey with me.
