yes?

It's a simple word.
It's the first word that came to mind when i was trying to think of a title for this blog.

But upon further speculation, it has more significance than a random space-filler.

"Yes" is the affirmative answer to a question. It is the opposite of "no." It also represents a willingness that i would like to embody. I'm leaving in less than 30 hours for Thailand, an adventure that will leave me lots of opportunity to obey or to rebel. It is my desire to be recklessly abandoned in my pursuit of God, and that requires a "yes" to all that He would ask of me, even the uncomfortable.

There is another "yes" that is required for me before i can live out the former one. The Scriptures say that all our promises in Christ are "Yes" and "Amen," meaning we have full assurance of them. There is not much we can be fully assured of in this world, but in Christ, there is: everything He said. And this releases me to say, "Yes!" back to Him, not only with my mind, but with my life.
