..... But He is Good

The past few weeks my mind has been wandering back to Turkey. It was almost exactly two years ago that I boarded a plane in Calgary Alberta headed for Turkey. I had no idea what to expect. None of us on my team did. We went with the intent of putting into practice all that we had learned in the past three months during the lecture phase of our YWAM discipleship training school and seeing the Kingdom of God come in a foreign country. Our purpose was to be Christ in this predominately Muslim nation. We didn't know how we were going to do this, and even more so, we had no idea what God was going to do in us.

Focused Obedience

Over the past few months I have been slowly working my way through a book by Floyd McClung titled "You See Bones, I See an Army: Changing the way we do church." I purchased the book during my DTS and for some reason it had been shelved for later reading. I don't think I have ever in my life taken so much time to read a book but this is not one for me to just breeze through. There is so much good stuff in here and I've been really taking the time to digest it and reflect upon it.

Just the other day I started part three: Focused Obedience. The first chapter in this section is titled Watch out for the Camels and oh my! God has been speaking to me through this chapter so much.  A lot of it is stuff that I already knew about myself but it's put in such a way that I feel like for the first time instead of just seeing that I have problem in this area, I actually feel like I see ways to make a change.
