I'm sitting here this afternoon with one hundred and one thoughts running through my head. So much to chew on...and yet I am having a hard time forming them into a post. Each time I get started, my cell phone beeps with a new text message. There is some serious Facebook activity going on right now!

Pretty much, all my thoughts can be traced back to one theme. Obedience.

We are barely into this new year and I'm being challenged to live, love and obey in some totally different ways. Ways that just a couple of years ago would have sent me into a tail spin. The heaviness of this is almost suffocating at times. It's what I think about, dream about..pray about...and yet a calmness seems to have covered me.

Several years ago my request of God was that I would come to a place where I did not live unmoved by Him. This year, I have felt this urge to ask Him to move me. Does that make any sense at all?

The girls and I have challenged each other to become "Action Verb Christians" this year, it's time to be a doer of the Word, time to start working this thing out. God has somethings for each of us to do and we are asking Him to show us where to begin. We want to see Him in our every day life, and we want to show Him to someone new every day.

He has given me several opportunities over the last week to once again place my "yes" on the alter. That's scary when you don't know what He's going to ask! But as scary as it is, it is MORE exciting.

So here I am saying publicly...I'm not quite sure what He has in mind or where He's sending me...but for the record...I said yes.
