"Staring at the edge of water"

Well, after 12+ hours of travel (boo, thunderstorms), I'm here at SIM USA headquarters for training. Please pray for my next 8 days of preparations!

Hello again, O'Hare!

So I've been reflecting on my calling and convictions in anticipation of this week. One of my favorite methods of self-reflection, of course, is watching Disney movies. 😆 My new favorite is "Moana." (If you haven't seen it yet, drop everything and find it immediately.) I have watched this movie three times and I cry every time. I realized that this is because "I. Am. Moana." Her story and her passion totally resonates with me. Here is a sneak peek in case you're not familiar: "How far I'll go"
There is an even more powerful song at the climax of the movie, but I don't want to ruin it for y'all. Just go watch it! And then pray and consider: does God want me to stay on this island (comfort zone), or is He calling me out there somewhere? It doesn't have to be overseas, it could be to encourage a coworker, make more time for relationships, share with a neighbor,  or change jobs. "If you want to walk on water, you've got to get out of the boat!" (John Ortberg)


To conclude, here's my favorite OT joke:
