Today is the first day of the US staff conference in Ft. Collins. Two years nearly to the day, I was here as new staff with Crusade. Now, I'm here after just finishing up MTL training, reliving memories of when I joined with Crusade. My heart for the mission is still the same. My role and responsibility is quite different. My passions have evolved and grown but my foundation and gifts are rooted in evangelism. My NST friends are filing into Colorado as my new friends from this summer have been with me.
Memories flood my mind. What comes to mind is this overwhelming feeling of how good God is. I see faces of students I've gotten to work with, staff teams I've been a part of, supporters who have sent me to the field, and friends and family who have urged me to press on when I felt like I couldn't do it anymore. The constant in all that has been the constant love and compassion of God in my life, pressing deep into the broken places that hurt.
God was good to call me onto staff. God is good to allow me to serve on staff. Its a sweet thing to be back in Ft. Collins (even though I've been here all summer) and revisit why I'm on staff with Crusade. It truly is a privilege.
I'm praying that for this 9 day conference that my heart is rejuvenated for the mission. For that to happen, my heart must beat for worship. "Missions exist because worship does not" so its my hope that my heart would beat full of worship, so that I would move toward the mission. I'm excited to hear from dynamic speakers, the best that are around, but I'm most thrilled to meet with my Savior in an intimate setting that He longs to meet me in.
