The Mobile Life
After a weekend away, I have taken some time to evaluate myself, where I stnad with things, where I am going (I think), and to be blunt, what is in my hands that I can work this ground with (Genesis 3:19). Here is the conclusion of things:
I live a mobile life and its mobility that God will use in me to stir people into knowing Him better.
Weird, I don't seem to do this thought like many others. And chances are, if you are here at MMM that you probably are similar in thought. The world (meaning folks who dont know mobile computing), just have no idea how persuasive and potentially life-changing mobile computing is to so many people. In the State its not even seen buy most. Seriously, brining up the idea of MMM is a "wow" to many, but not realistic ot many more.
I shake my head because I know it's a door that's given for HIs purposes. Whether I get to talk about MMM (job interviews have probably been the places places to chat thus far), or to put my hands down in doing something towards MMM (give a PDA, fill out those nasty gov't forms that makes MMM a legitimate 501(c)3 org - aka a non-profit that you can donate to and get a nice tax write off), this is what has been given to many of us as not just a tool to be more productive, but a way of life that will keep people plugged in, get people tuned in, and outright be one of those lighthouses to folks who just need to know the Lord is really as close as a mobile phone.
For me it means stepping out on faith in a big way. I am still without work, and many on the MMM team could use a better job situation as well, but we all have been placed in this season/walk together because the mobile life is where God wants to use us to share His heart to the nations. Whether that is just a one on one convo, or setting up a table at Urbana 2006; we want you to know that the nature of mobile computing is such that God can literally be in your life in every medium possible, and at the same time show you how to be usable in anyone's life at the same time.
It's a big vision I know. And I am more scared writing this than you are reading it. God knows what He is doing and all that He needs is timiing plus opportunity to make His Word shine. So if you are down with shining for a few folks in a way few people have done to date, stick around a bit longer, this just might be the life for you as well :-)
