south florida...amelia...kansas city

Current Location: Lenexa, Kansas

my time in South Florida was great....from the reunion with brothers and sisters in Fort Lauderdale to 4th of July at Marvin Key to crackin coconuts in the backyard to hangin out with Mom and Clif to time with the Burris' the time was great. I wish the time could have lasted longer but my life seems to be stuck in fast forward at the moment as time as I quickly approach the move to Tallahassee. Last night I was with my grandparents in Amelia, Virginia and couldnt have asked for a better time. Today was the second consecutive day I was up before sunrise as we drove to Richmond to fly to Kevin Littletons wedding in Kansas City this weekend.

Tonight a great friend from my 2006 missions/holiday trip to Germany with Athletes in Action, Cameron Young, happens to be in Kansas City for this week on business from China. He is one of my best friends and a true follower of Christ. Infact the Coldplay lyrics and screams from our car ride home still are echoing in my head....

Over the past week though God has rocked my world. He has helped me dive in to a depth with Him like never before. He continues to amaze me with how real He is in every part of my life and how He fights for me to be with Him and spend my every thought in Him. My mind is a part of me that is really being transformed at the moment. Jason Burris asked how to pray for me the other night and I just said three words: depth...for me to throw myself at Christ in a way to experience incredible depth and intimacy...focus...for me to stay fixed on Jesus(Heb 12:1) and really live for Him in all I do with purpose....and lastly fellowship...to really know that God has this planned for me in Tallahassee and seek the most intimate and real fellowship I can find there..fellowship that will stretch me, challenge me, make me unconfortable of where I am to strive for more of who God is.

I will be posting pics soon of my USA tour...
