Lots of time on an airplane, or driving over the mountains between California and Las Vegas leaves much room for introspection.? Add in a plethora of amazing conversations, a life changing book, and being reminded that just one year ago, I was leaving Uganda.
Most of this time, I was unplugged.? During my week on the road, I opened my computer maybe three times, mostly to get directions to Dunkin Donuts.? I really didn’t check Twitter that much.? Or Facebook.? Or even my blog.? Or even your blog.
Next week I am going to share with you a commitment I am making.? A commitment that has been prayed over and thought over for hours and hours.? After Monday night, the book reading and gathering with my friend Shaun Groves and me, it only confirms more and more the direction my heart is going.
If you’d like to take a look at bits and pieces of the evening, you can watch the clip below.? Thanks to Steve Eller for putting it together.? It was an honor meeting so many of you face to face.
I’ll share a bit more tomorrow about a few events coming up I’d love to see you at. But for now, I would really appreciate your prayers as I take some more time to focus and pray about the upcoming months.

What an amazing night. Thanks so much for loving the church and sharing your story. Shaun is legit…what a combo that was for us all there. Well, they served Peets coffee, which is amazing, too. ;)
i looooooooooooooooooooooooved being there.
Praying for you right now.
And maybe you’ve explained this before, but what is flower dust exactly? :)
great stuff Anne! Blessings to you as you seek the Lord!
Flowerdust is a LAME login name I have used since I was 13. I had no idea it would one day stick and be my branding foe.
Heard it was your birthday. Hope it is a happy one!
Blessings! And flowerdust isn’t lame. It always feels like a bit of springtime that you are spreading behind you! (and who doesn’t need springtime?)
Anne, it was great to meet you and like I said when we talked… I needed that night. It was a heck of an adventure to get there, but worth it. I am enjoying your book and most importantly, I am enjoying peace.
May God continue to give Grace,
Julia Kate
Praying for you as you sort through all of this.
Anne, you give us so much – other blogs, videos, etc. to help us be so encouraged. I just want to tell you how grateful I am. I feel so plugged in when I read all the great things you are doing and the sharing blessings also. I’ve been up early reading them. Awesome! Thank you! I truly hope your birthday was phenomenal!
Anne, I am always praying for you. God has you in a sweet spot right now to use you for His great purposes. I will be praying for you to hear His voice, to clearly envision what He is calling you to, and for you to lean into God at all costs……..
Go with God my friend.
Whoa, I just realized that that video was taken at my church! Dang! How did I miss that? Are you coming back for Catalyst West? I’d love to pick your brain some time.
ha…yeah…it was. and i am not. i will be in india!
Can you give me the name of the song that Shaun did that had the line in it “this changes everything” ? I’ve looked on iTunes and couldn’t find it there. Thanks for the help- really liked the song.
