This Blog entry was originally a letter to a friend, I have adapted it for the general audience.
Something crazy is going on in my heart. I hear God calling me to something, I don't know what it is yet. All I know is that he wants me to just follow him. It sounds weird but I'm at total peace about it. You know when God told Abraham just get up and go, and gave him no specific instructions. That is what I feel like. Woody, our campus pastor has been talking about dreams, not sleep dreams, but aspirations and goals. It hit me, that strong feeling and tugging on my heart that I was called to do something great. I walked into that chapel half asleep and came out alive.
I am breaking a grammar law by not transitioning, but I can't help it.
Every year in yearbook class at my high school the theme of the yearbook was almost prophetic. Progression, The Awakening, and Vision. God had a reason for those titles, God had us name them that. When Jessica and Matthew Stackowicz (Mentors and friends) left, the art piece they gave me says "Where you lead, I will follow." I have kept it on my desk, well now it is on my wall. It was my prayer for this year. I was thinking about the phrase just before chapel, and when I walked in they started playing this song.

Invitation Fountain by Michael J. Pritzl
All who are weak,
All who are weary
Come to the rock,
Come to the fountain
All who have sailed
On the rivers of heartache
Come to the sea,
Come on be set free
All who are weak
All who are weary
Come to the rock
come to the fountain
All who have climbed
On the mountains of heartache
Reach to the stars
Come on give Your life
Heal me
Heal me (repeat)
All who are weak
All who are weary
All who are tired
All who are thirsty
All who have failed
All who have broken
Come to the rock
Come to the fountain
If You lead me Lord I will follow
Where You lead me Lord I will go
Come and heal me Lord I will follow
Where You lead me Lord I will go
I will go I will go

I have no idea what God has for me this year, maybe I will be broken, healed, the starter of a quiet revolution on campus, but whatever it is, I am ready. I don't know what I am getting into, but I know it is what I have to do.
Well... that is what is going on in my life right now. I still am having my struggles, but I have found temporary rest and peace.
