I am not much of a blogger. I am a blog stalker...meaning almost daily...I read blogs. But, I have been encouraged by many to join the parade and blog. So, here goes.

Conversation #1. vagabond.

a vagabond is a traveling bum. when deciding what to call this endevor...vagabond seemed to fit best. as many of you know, in my line of work i do not get paid. i fundraise. it is such an amazing process. you go to work everyday with people who want to be at work. they all love and believe in the work we do. if they didn't, they would go and get a job that pays. it is amazing process because you live off the spirit leading others to give towards the cause. dependecy of Father and community w/ others is the outcome of fundraising.

about every 6 months, i have a massive conversation with my parental units (who are greatness i might add) about how it is time for me to get a real job. last labor day weekend we had just completed one of these such conversations on the side porch (their house has 3 porches) of their cabin feeling home that sits on one of the most beautiful pieces of property my home town has to offer.

i left their house...got in the car...and started to drive. my parents live in the middle of no where west texas. i.e. no cell service and 2 hours of nothing until you hit the west side of fort worth which is a beautiful thing. as I drove..i began to pray. i ask the lord what he would have me to do about this situation. and he revealed "tshirts". at the time, i thought that this would just be a side hobby. but in reality....i think that father may be preparing me for this vagabond thing to become a major puzzle piece of a day to come.

The vision.
my heart has been stirring to go to the front lines. i want to go to where father is not know. i want to have some legitamacy when i get there. a platform. one that is respected in the community that is to be reached. my heart is starting to dream of opening up my own store. in a city where he is not known...where the hope of the world has not yet come. and plant there. i want to go with my brother and sisters. i want to do life in such a place. i am amazed at how talented you all are. the gifts that father has given to the body overwhelms me and the fact that i get to call you friends is amazing. oh, i wonder what he will do in the next few years with all of you. it is going to be an amazing journey.

disclaimer.
if you just stumbled upon this site or to anyone else. i am reluctant to speak in a spiritual nature because i do not want vagabond to be labeled by anything other than legit. so, know that i am a follower. a believer. from the overflow i cannot help but speak of such matters...but do not conceptualize a box. long ago we were free'd from all such transcent things to embrace the divine mystery.
