Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Joshua 3:5 

Tomorrow I will be driving up to Atlanta Georgia to attend the Passion Conferences of 2013. I can't even describe the feeling of anticipation that I have. It's more than excitement. It's an urgent expectancy, waiting for God to show me "great and wonderful things which I do not know". I absolutely cannot wait for what the Lord is going to show me! And not just show me, but work in me. These past few months, and especially weeks, have been a sort of slow season for me. I haven't quite known what to make of it. Part of me thinks it's because I'm not trying hard enough to learn new things... but then part of me feels that this is God's hand on my life, keeping me calm and still before a flood of true heart change. I know that each day we have the opportunity to grow close to Him, everyday we need to be putting His Word into action. This is where the true fruit is produced... But it starts with a seed. A seed planted in a heart, watered and given light. And I feel that that is what Passion is going to be for me. The start of a new work. A heart work. I may not need to change my direction, I may need to. Only God knows. But I do know that He always wants to do a work in my heart. And I love that about Him. I know that He honors faithfulness and a pure heart. And I believe that most of the people in charge of Passion possess pure hearts, hearts that burn for Him. So I just know that with an event like this, that has been so prayed over, brought before the throne room constantly, I just know that He will use it. He is faithful. I'm so incredibly grateful to Him for raising up leaders who care enough to do whatever it takes to reach my generation and show them what it means to be a Christ follower. I want to have that kind of zeal for the Lord and for reaching other people. 
Whoever may be reading this, please pray for myself and all of us going to Passion 2013. Pray that God would teach us what it means to be a true Christ follower, one that never gives up, and one that will strive to be more like Him every day of our lives. 
Pray that He would fan the flame of desire for Him and desire to be more like Him, to know Him more, to be a light in the darkness, to be a city on a hill, burning brightly, not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God, unto salvation, to everyone who believes. 

See you at the Dome!!
