• Anywhere.

  I have this certain, sure, strong conviction and call - not to "do" missions, but to help others to Jesus, coupled with an adventuresome spirit and a heart that trusts God for anything...

  I will be a globetrotter for You, Lord.  I'll walk that second mile, third and fourth.  I'll leave all my belongings behind.  I won't invest in this world.  I won't kick off my shoes and settle down.  I won't grow roots anywhere - but in, You, Lord.  I'll go anywhere, Lord, anywhere - as long as I get to be with You.

  The cross is before me, the world is behind me, and there is nothing in between.  Nothing to obstruct and no one to stand in the way.  There are no other loves before me that exceed my love for You.  There's nothing I desire besides You.  God, I can go anywhere with You!  Not even the sky's the limit.  And greater still is always Your love, which is limitless.

  I have no ties.  I'm free to go.  No sibling I must take care of.  No parents who have me on a leash.  No husband or children to be concerned of.  No boyfriend who's asking me to stay.  Not even a dog or goldfish to worry or care for.  No furniture or belonging that I would flinch to leave behind.  No debt I couldn't pay off with a flip of the dime.  What freedom!!  I really can say, "Lord, anywhere" and mean it... 

  And this, my friends, you who have been wondering... is the reason why excitement fills my heart to overflowing.
