Tomorrow, May 1, Tim Soerens and I embark on a journey that will take us to unknown, mot likely dangerous places. Ron Carucci, the COO of Mars Hill Graduate School and consultant to Fortune 500 Companies is taking 2 days of his life to take Tim and I on a retreat to help us plan for our future.

As I write this post I am sitting in a hotel in South Lake Union, looking out over the lake at Gas Works Park. Since Brooke will be unable to attend the 2 day retreat, the three of us decided to get a way for a day and pray as well us commune.

The reason I write this post is to seek prays in this endeavor. More than anything I want to hear where God’s Spirit is pushing me toward. So for the sake of simplicity, here is a bullet point list of things to be praying for. When I get back, late the 2nd, if I have energy I will post as much as I can about what happened

• Wisdom and Discernment
• That I will hear the voice of my wife throughout the entire experience
• Attentiveness to God’s future for us, over our own future ‘plans’
• Courage to listen to this calling
• Patience
• Profound amounts of creative energy

If you could, take time right now to pray. I covet anybodies prayer. And if you are bold, post your prayer as a comment.

yearning,
joel
