The Question of the Hour?
Well I have returned to the city, for more than 2 days in a row over the last month, and I have been asked many questions. The answer to a particular question seems to really stump folks. The question is "So when are you moving to Colorado?" and the answer is "I am not 100% convinced I will ever get there." People have valid reasons since I have posted and emailed saying in January 2007 I will be moving to the Springs upon my return from England.
Now the explanation to back-up my answer to the frequent question of the hour is that the more and more I surrender, the more and more I am convinced that I will end up in another country for a period of time. I think God was wondering if I was willing to trade in everything I had for everything I can have. When I say everything I had, I mean surrendering all the material things and when I say everything I can have, I mean the hearts and souls of lost children, people-groups and most of all the confidence of walking in the path that God has predestined for me. "The purposed trek."
The scripture that God showed me back in the spring before I had a clue that any of this would be happening was brought back to my remembrance on September 30th which is:
Psalms 16:1-2 (The Message)
Keep me safe, O God, I've run for dear life to you.
I say to God, "Be my Lord!"
Without you, nothing makes sense.
Without God, nothing makes sense. I know that to some this whole new venture may seem strange, out of the ordinary and definitely out of quilter for me. I felt the same way, but when I surrendered everything, including my thoughts, it just made sense.
So stay tuned because I am confident that in the next 3 months that God will surely reveal the greater plan and open the appropriate doors in order for me to continue this trek.

Hey girl!
I think that is great. I am so sorry that you won't be visiting Thrive...we could use some help there.... :)
I look forward to reading more about your purposed trek!

I can't wait to sit and chat. I see glimpses of our "purposed trek". You are at such a great place! Only a few more days!
Gosh Marci. I just read your entire blog, and I am so touched. I'm jealous of the intensity of your relationship with the Lord. I want that intensity. I just realized that walking with the Lord is not enough. It's time to start running. Fatigue has no place here, only endurance. These are intense times, and God is calling me to an intense battleground in Sweden and it's time to armor up.
All i need is to be willing. Surrender my thoughts, surrender my mind, surrender my longings and my needs.
Thank you, friend. Thanks for being so willing to lay down your all and seek your purpose in God without hesitation or fear. It's ministering to and changing the lives of those who love you.
And I do. Always.
"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." (Ps. 51:10-12)
Mon.
I'm am so tuned it, my friend. Ears are straining to hear your voice on the ocean breeze. But I think I'll give them a break and just see/hear you in person oh-so-soon!
I don't think your trek is one bit weird. Who says having it all planned out in advance is the best anyway? It's one step at a time, and often there is only light enough for that step.
Love love LOVE you...
I so enjoy all your posts! I agree with Ange, it's not too strange.. I mean, you started out with one plan, and now it's morphing into something new and different. I'll be excited to see where you are in 2007. :)
