Word for 2011

I have been wondering what God has in store for me in the upcoming year... 

And the Aswer I have received is Mathew 28:18-20
¹⁸ Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. ¹⁹ Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,^[b] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”    New Living Translation

I got to thinking about this and it has occured to me that I have been given this Word before.  So what is specific about this Word for THIS year?  The image that comes to mind is this:

Over the years I have been through some stormy weather.  My hull has taken a beating and even lost some of the integrity.  God has taken me into the ship yards for a retrofit back in 2008.  Now I am ready for my maiden voyage as a newly refurbashed man serving God in a way that reflects His Kingdom and not a church or program.  2011 is the year God will begin to get me out to sea and let open the sails.  More than any other year in my life, I feel that I am more myself.  More of the man He made me to be. 

May He speak to you this year and grow you and guide you.  Mean while, anchors up and full speed ahead full rudder!
