I am headed to Austin, Texas today! I really have no logical explanation as to why, other than I am going to explore. This summer, Jeff Mangum from The Austin Stone shared his heart for the people of Austin and genuine community within the church in the city of Austin. I have wanted to go since that week of camp. My little married friends Katie and Kyle are graciously letting me stay with them and Katie is so excited to show me the sites. I am praying that God might make a way for me to move there! I have a one-way ticket, and I’m really not sure when I will return, but to be honest, I haven’t felt this much peace about anything in a long time!
I am going to talk with The For The City Network while I am there. This is an organization which connects all the non-profits of Austin with the mission of renewing the city of Austin and connecting volunteers to serve the city. I am so excited about this concept and can’t wait to learn more about what they are doing! My heart is to serve the city I am engaged in and if the Lord leads me to do that in Austin, TX, well then my bags are packed! 
I can’t say I ever saw Texas in my future, but here I find myself visiting again!
Just walking into the airport, I felt a gigantic weight lifted off my shoulders! I am at the pinnacle of this great transition, I’m ready to dive in. Praying for the Spirit to lead me as I engage in opportunity and follow His leading. For now….see ya West Palm!
