Fully Prepared?

Oswald Chambers once asked, "Am I fully prepared to allow God to grip me by His Power and do a work in me that is truly worthy of Himself?"

Just can't get away from the weight of that question. I just keep asking myself, am I willing to allow Him total access to every fiber of my existence and let Him overtake me. Honestly, I get a bit scared. I get a little timid because I like being in control.

I must get to that point of total and complete surrender. I must get to that point where I am not afraid of failure, only afraid to not give Him 100% of my total being. Am I fully prepared?

NAYC 2007

Today I returned from North American Youth Congress (in Charlotte, NC). Wow.

16,000 students and young adults gathering to focus on Christ - amazing. My biggest 'take away' from speaking at this event is the continual move of God that occurred there. I had a special moment Friday night when Todd Gaddy asked the entire crowd to bow a knee to Jesus. I witnessed 16,000 people one a knee, totally focused, totally consumed. Wow.

I will also always cherish the priviledge of being involved such an event. I personally believe that a shift happened in countless lives. I believe that life-change took place in countless lives. It's moments like these that make me realize that I am apart of something that is so much larger than I alone could ever be. What a blessing. Wow.

Lastly I want to thank everyone who purchased a copy of "Thirtyoneanothers". I totally enjoyed meeting all of you who came by the booth to chat. I love meeting new people, and this week I met a ton of them. Some very positive feedback is coming in for the book that I will post soon. For more information or to order the book, visit www.TheMonthlyNugget.com.

Thanks for allowing me to share with you. Love God, Love Others, Love Wins!
