New year, new potential

A few years ago a friend of mine challenged me to find a name for my year. A word or two to claim for the year. Since then I've had the following titles and outcomes:

2014: the year of trusting God

-quit my job

-moved to Philly

-sold my car

-found a new job

-got a new house/roommate

-planted The Block Church

2015: The year of Going Deeper

-completed two 21-day fasts

-re-read much of the Bible

-studied scripture

-invested time in Christian podcasts

-attended my first missions trip

-read books by Steven Furtick, Bill Johnson, Gary Thomas, Danny Silk, Christine Caine, A.W. Tower and more.

Needless to say, God's word for my life and my future has required faith and work on my part. I'm not sure what a year of bravery has in store for me, but a big part of it is going to mean learning how to trust God without hesitation and love Him beyond that. Here we go 2016. Let's be brave together.
