passion '06.

Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws,
       we wait for you;
       your name and renown
       are the desire of our hearts. (Isaiah 26:8)

Passionended Thursday. Over 18,000 college students attended, from every state and a handful of foreign countries. Unlike last year when I attended as a student, this year I was a volunteer in the prayer intercessory room.
I spent 3 1/2 days with some of the most amazing Christian women I've ever encountered. God spoke to me about many things and I really feel a renewed confidence in his calling on my life. God seemed to be saying some very promising things to me. I've had some really vivid dreams and visions over the past week....some things more overwhelming while other things were exciting and confirming of my move to Africa.
I feel led to ask you to pray for the country of Myanmar, the people who live there, and the people who rule the country. I fear upcoming change in the country through violent means, and I need to know you are joining me in interceding for the people.
I also want to give you all this word of encouragement, a very familiar verse but one who's words are very life-changing:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight."


this was the last night of passion as all 18,000 student walked in silence into the arena. it was a beautiful evening.


this is liz, my dear friend i met in Myanmar. here we are with the deceased Adoniram Judson, first missionary to Burma!!! she and i attended passion last year, and this year she got a free ticket at the last minute. i cannot believe i haven't seen her in a year. it was really great, and i'm excited for her and her future. she's in law school in texas.
