Rooted in the 'Now' leaning towards the 'Next'.

Well for me...
I have a big heart for justice, just not sure what to do with it.
I certainly have a heart for the nations; to travel, to experience culture, language & food, experience, to equip, to teach, to disciple and to connect with people! To share Jesus with all that I do. This is my heart.
I know that until November 2010, my job, my service, my call are here in Brighton, serving the church. My heart also needs to be here and not else where, until then. But as my contract draws towards an end, I will begin to seek what God has next for me.

Sometimes all of this prescribed and organised vision gets clouded and I get ahead of myself. I start thinking about my future wife, family and season. However, if I am living for the 'now' the 'next' will naturally become the 'now'. There is always a natural transition from the 'now' into the 'next' that is how it happens. God made it like that.
As people after God we should be people that are looking for his heart to be established where we are... in the present. The future will be orchestrated by Him as we consistently abide in Him.

If you have not listened to it, you should. It's good.
