here is how i am praying...

strength: total nate strength; body, mind, soul, emotional... i am coming out of a busy time where i gave of myself at a higher level than typical. and it is taking its toll.

worship: we/i am also entering the crazyness of fall. football, new ministry season, kids back at school, new schedule, etc. etc. i want to keep a worship mindset in all that i do. i want to fight from going from one thing to the next. i want to make the most of it all, soaking up every moment and keeping in mind God is with me.

new chapter: jenn and i are writing a new chapter this fall as all of our kids will be in school all day, everyday. that means radical change for jenn. the past eleven years she has been with our one of our kids all day. i know that we are looking for ward to the freedom, but with it as well, is the reality that the story of their lives is getting new chapters too... they are growing up.

from team to community: the genmark teams at watermark, surf city, moto, and cession, need to make the shift from team to community. with that also means we need people to join us in our quest to make the vision God has set for us a reality. moto and cession oin particular need guides. i am also praying that the wider church will begin to understand and embrace the mission and vision of those ministries in particular.

God's heart His heart is the ultimate pursuit of my heart. really the rest of my prayer life is nothing if this isn't a top priority.
