Five Words

Today's a day that I'm spending doing some of the "administrative" preparation for my upcoming Connections trip to Estonia in June.  During my time with God this morning, I started to think about my testimony a little bit and what I would say during our team retreat when I share.   Among other things.  

Two years ago, when I went during Bear Week, each person from our team shared our "testimony in five words" which was really moving and powerful as we explained to each other the story of God as it intersected with our own stories.  I thought I would do something similar this year, except I'm finding that I would use different words this year than I did in 2007.  I believe that is in part because our relationship with Jesus is not static... and if it is growing the different seasons of our lives and dynamics of our relationship will bring out a different story... same thread of grace, forgiveness, and dependence but different paths as we have walked with God in new and fresh ways.  

So, what were my five words 2 years ago?... Feel free to read :-)  http://estoniasept07teambios.blogspot.com/2007/07/chris-willis.html

What would my words be this year?  Here's what I'm thinking:
  • Providence
  • Remembering
  • Dependence
  • Anticipating 
  • Enough
Feel free to ask "why these words?"  I'm noodling more over that over the coming weeks :-).
