Wild at Heart Boot Camp

This week, I leave for a man-adventure taking place in Colorado called Wild at Heart boot camp. This experience will gather men for the purpose of digging deep into their hearts. God has put this whole thing together. We have a group of men from Birmingham who had already registered to go. Within the last two weeks, a spot came available and now my name fills that spot. So, with God's provision in place, I am going to walk more deeply into my own heart. One of the things about pouring into others is that you have to be poured into. I have to take care of my own heart and journey. I have to take time to be away and deal with my own stuff. God cannot use me to touch in others what He is not touching in me. I have to be broken, shaped, and healed. That is what this trip is all about.

So, I would appreciate intercessors who will surround me this weekend with prayer. If you are reading this blog right now...would you just stop and offer up prayer for me. Would you pray for God to do deeper healing in me? Would you pray for me to relax and sabbath? Would you pray for me to be a man among men? Would you pray for honesty, acceptance, and clarity? Thank you friends and allies.

Blog-Note...
To the MEN and WOMEN reading this blog: If you want to know more about a man's heart and journey, I would highly encourage reading "Wild at Heart". John Eldredge is a prophetic voice in our generation and time. All of his books are being used by God to bring freedom and honesty in the church. To husbands, read and interact with this book in the context of masculine community. You need this for your own heart. To wives, read and interact with this book in order to better know your husband's journey. It will provide understanding and insight.

Once I am back and able to process this adventure, you will be seeing some blog reflections. Until then...
