Are you Digesting?

It is understood that our digestive track is of upmost importance to our daily lives and our future. Through the process of digestion our body receives its proper nutrients for survival. What am i getting at? I think in the same way it is important for us to digest the information we get each day whether that be through conversations with our colleges, to reading books, to important meetings, to conferences and seminars and so on. There is a big difference when you come home after a conference and read your notes and think of different ways to apply what you have learned that just going to a conference never writing anything down and never thinking about what was said after you return home. Digesting information is important to our growth and success as leaders or whatever role we find ourselves in. So...at the end of this week I am going to have to stay in digestion mode. I had some great opportunities to connect with some great people this week and I don't want to miss it. From connecting with a dozen methodist pastors and discussing different ways of rethinking church, to connecting with a Deaf Missionary and discussing how to better serve and mobilize the Deaf Community here in DC, to connecting with renown author Dallas Willard and discussing the progression of the modern university and how it relates to faith, to meeting with a Pastor from Ethiopia and discussing ways to infiltrate our communities with love and hope, locally and globally.  Shewwee, I need to digest. Don't miss the opportunity this week to digest and stop and think about what you are doing, what information you are receiving, and how you can apply what God is teaching you. It will change your life as far as you know it.
