Yes, we are!   

If you have ever listened to young cheerleaders, that simple statement is easily heard as a battle cry in a sports match of some variety.    With less than three hours’ sleep, this is the message echoing in my head.  I am visualizing a troop of joyous Christians, marching down any street in the world, boldly asking that question of every person who can hear them. 

 
The image in my heart is of two sweet girls in downtown Nashville yesterday.  

My eyes are welling up in tears, again.  Lord, please use these tears to cleanse my mind and heart of anything which detracts me from you.  Thank you for all the ways you are revealing your mighty hand in my life.   Thank you for the entire book of Romans and taking me to 8:38-39 through Jesus Calling this morning.  Please, Father God, reveal your power to Sarah in such a way to restore her and empower her to boldly do your work.  For all who are weary and worried, please give extra comfort today. And these tears, which refuse to defy gravity, Lord, let each remind me of all those still lost to you; my heart aches for all those who would ask incredulously, “ready for what?” Please, Father God, help me rest a few hours so I can serve you and your kingdom today.  

In Jesus Name, I do pray.
