This song speaks to letting go of ourselves and letting God have his way with us. When we do we can truly fly and have an adventurous life in the Lord.
Is there a step of faith that you feel God calling you to in 2009? The story of Jonathan and the armor-bearer speaks of the power of positive risk-taking for God (1 Samuel 14:1-14). Let God have his way with you in 2009. Take great risks, in love. And may you soar on wings like eagles, as you put your hope in the LORD.
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

I came across these words today.. written in a notebook from my summer internship in California. All of these quotes seem to be weaving along the same thread…
“We can’t control our circumstances.. but we can control who we will be in those moments.”
Our first set of greeting cards have been printed. The designs reflect some of the things the world is awaiting.. the one above is trying to communicate ‘LOVE’. What do you think? The cards will be available to purchase online shortly, and all proceeds will towards the core funding of The World Awaits! Stay posted for more info..
I’ve been spending the last few days trying to solidify the vision and mission of The World Awaits. It makes a lot of sense in my head(of course), but finding the right words is proving to be quite the challenge. I just had lunch with an old friend, and as we caught up and shared what’s been going in our lives, he asked what the non-profit would be about. I shared with him the current ‘vision statement’ and with a puzzled look on his face, he responded “I’m still not sure what you’d be doing”. Hmm… back to the drawing board…
There’s a Scripture that says.. “Where there is no vision, the people perish:” (Proverbs 28:19 KJV) I’m not sure if Solomon was talking about vision statements for non-profits.. but he might as well been. Without a clearly defined vision, it’s very difficult to move forward with any sense of purpose. Every successful non-profit (or any organization for that matter) must have a clearly defined vision statement.
Essentially I see The World Awaits as an organization that empowers individuals to create positive change in the world. The idea is that every single person has SOMETHING Read the rest of this entry »
