NACC Week!

I just returned from one of my favorite cities in the US!  Cincinnati is where the North American Christian Convention was held this year for 2011.  I remember sitting in the Continuation Committee Meeting thinking how far off this NACC seemed at the time.  Yes, time marches on!  It is always good to see people that you are only able to cross paths with during the NACC.  I saw friends and mentors that I have not been able to see since college!  Plus, the great workshops and sessions that challenge.  

This NACC was unique for me this year.  My life has changed a lot since that Continuation Committee Meeting.  As I sat through the many sessions gleaming truths from the book of Acts about being Unleashed I realized that I am living that life.  Before you think that my ego has gotten the best of me let me explain.  I recall many NACC, NMC, Retreats, sermons etc. thinking I know that I am doing good work for the Kingdom but am I really living a life like the scripture that is preached?  Not so much as deep as to say a guilty feeling but as I would travel back to my home there was a wrestling in my heart.  Someday I want to be able to tell stories like that.  Not because I want and audience or a platform but because I want to live a life like the speaker challenged.  I want to change lives and make a difference for Christ.  Like I stated above this does not mean that the ministries I held previous to now were not important along with the ways that I served when I was younger.  However, the wrestling spirit within was preparing me and challenging me for what was ahead.  As I sat there among thousands of people I thought to myself nope my life is not boring.  Yes, I have seen things like I am reading here in the book of Acts.  I can tell a story like that man up there of how God has worked in my life in ways I never thought possible.  Both right here in the States and in a land that is at the far ends of the earth the spirit has worked in my life in Mighty ways.  Not because of anything I have done but because I was willing to answer the challenge.  Unleashed is right!  My challenge has taken me to Tanzania but that doesn't mean your is the same.  But,  I hope you have one!
