Weekending

Today has been un-eventful in the best way. Last night we all went over to Ryan and Sarah's again to watch the Finger of God sequel, Furious Love. I so recommend you watch it! You can check out the movie at: http://furiouslovethemovie.com/ By the time the movie had finished, I was feeling soso sick. I had a fever and I couldn't get off the couch! Bummer, but I was prayed over and I belived for healing. I went home and slept very nicely until 1 in the afternoon. Today I have been catching up on laundry and all that non-exciting stuff that needs to be done, but also reflecting on my week. Pastor John Mark Gal was here speaking this whole week. He is an amazing man of God from the little city of Empress, Alberta. He came and spoke on the the Bride of Christ, and it rocked my socks off for sure. Although every word that came from his mouth was astounding and note-worthy, the one thing that stuck out like a sore thumb was his attentiveness to Holy Spirit. He would be in mid-sentence and stop to listen to what God wanted Him to speak on. Every time he would lay down his rights and soeak out what Holy Spirit was saying, the words pierced my heart like an arrow! That is the kind of attentiveness I want to have.

It's been really fun to exercise my singing more with Amanda Falk and Dayna Van Dam. What women of God!! Misty Endwards once said: "Worship ALWAYS grows boring if I focus only on the music but when I focus on the Man I can play simple melodies for hours and not even notice." What a fun and very true statement! When we let the Spirit give us the songs to sing, worship is not a chore anymore but a time of relaxation, reflecting, and being in awe of the Glory of our Creator. Oh, how I love Him! Worship times set for 45 minutes turn into hours and hours of forgetting where we are because we are so in love.

Word of encouragement for the day: Do not think that just because you are in your hometown, going to work and church and school (and any other mundane activity) that your God doesn't want that same intensity, that same fiery passion, that same Spirit habitation everyday with YOU! You have a father/friend/lover who is PASSIONATELY pursuing you. He wants to be with you where you are, He wants to hear your every though, He wants to converse with you about the "little things" and so much more. So do not give into compromise of everyday life! Live your life FULLY for Him, and He will see to it that you feel all the love and affection He feels for you. Do NOT be afraid of what other people think, even what other Christians think, because jealousy in your relationship with God can me masked by fake concern.


I love you all, doesn't matter who you are, because CHRIST who lives in me loves you all more than you can comprehend! Shalom, peace be with you and in your homes.


Read and meditate on Psalm 11:7 today.
