Wave coming...

Lee keeps talking about a wave that's coming that will lift us all into a higher level of intimacy with God and a deepening of His work here...and he keeps using a surfing analogy - which does absolutely nothing for me, since I'm terrified of deep water...but here's what it feels like to me...

It feels a lot like hangliding, that anticipatory moment when you're first waiting for the winds, and you KNOW you need to gather all your strength and get ready for that run and leap out into the unknown, not really sure if the wind is going to catch you and take you up or if you're going to plummet to your death...  So you gather your courage, get the adrenaline pumping and take off - there's that first little bit, when you start heading towards the ground - thinking - uhoh - this is it, I AM GOING TO DIE...and then...WHOOSH, the wind catches you - and you head higher into the blue - and you realize how free you are, and how alive you can be...you're circling around, feeling for the currents and you KNOW, that there's nothing finer than that moment in time...

Hanging around with God and letting Him lead you is a lot like that - there's nothing greater in the world or more challenging...  He points out all your character flaws and refines you all the time...and He shows you just how powerful HE is...awesome, majestic, powerful, but so loving and kind and full of grace at the same time.

There's a battle coming, and it's up to us to stand in the gap - so prayer warriors, sharpen your weapons :-)

Love you all lots...
