3.20.12-I said yes....

I did it.  I met David Radcliff approximately 10 years ago when someone encouraged me to invite him to speak at a youth worship I planned.  I had no idea how God would impact my life through what he had to say.  For those of you that don't know, David works with the New Community Project. 

"The New Community Project is a faith-based nonprofit organization with the modest goal of changing the world! People are struggling, the earth is a mess, God's not amused, and we all know something's not right here. Our mission is to provide experiences that change us, resources that challenge us, and a community that gives us hope."

He has been literally calling me to join him on one of his Learning Tours . 

 "New Community Project Learning Tours will take you to places where earth and its people are struggling. Whether it's the rainforest, the Arctic, or places where people live in poverty and desperation, you'll have a first-hand look at troubling situations as well as the resilience and determination of those who live there--and in the process have the experience of a lifetime!"

For whatever reason, I continued to hold off on these Learning Tours, which was so unlike me.  I challenge others to step outside of their comfort zones; yet, I don't challenge myself?  That's silly.  I think I was afraid of being changed, of being challenged.  Not sure why.  But I have faced challenge and change and it's ugly face in ways that I would rather have not.  

With that said, please pray for me, my journey, the change that is inevitable, as I embark on the journey of preparation, action, and, continued growth.  Bring it on, Burma!
