Another Sunday, and another week has passed. Where has October gone? I must say I had every intention of writing daily in October but I have been extremely busy and haven't been very consistent this month. (Sigh) Oh well. . . Here's to the catching up :)
Tuesday and Wednesday were nothing of the spectacular. I worked in the office, got things done. . . off Tuesday night - Worship prac. and Bible Study on Wednesday night.
Thursday we had a leaders coffee/tea morning at the church. I was to help Hannah serve. (Ahh my first professional tea party!!!) I must say I wasn't the best at pouring tea. Agh no matter how hard I tried that last drop always landed outside the cup :( What an amazing and powerful meeting though. I definitely was encouraged and blessed by the amazing words spoken and the heavy anointing of the Spirit. I know I say this alot but BIG THINGS are happening! That night we had Junior Youth - with my AMAZING kids and then High School youth after! I have fallen in love with all of them as well and am excited where God is taking this youth ministry!
I had Friday morning off - a nice break. The sun was out for the first part of the day so I met up with Abigail and Daniel at Lough Shore and we went on a long walk. They brought along their dog, Cassie, so our outing consisted of throwing things into the water for her to chase, collecting pieces of blue glass for my newest mosaic creation, and playing on a playground we found nearby. All in all a very relaxing morning/afternoon. That night; Vinny, Myself, and the team went out on Street Reach! Met some new teens and saw several of my favorites! I truly wish I could describe to you what all happens on those nights. . . but words don't do justice. I am forever changed each time. God is AMAZING!!!
Saturday was a busy day. Adopt-a-Block in the morning. Saw a ton people! I love them all so much!! And I am loving the new site we've just started! After AAB I met up with Lynsey and spent the afternoon/night with her and some of her crew from Celebration Church Belfast. Morning + Afternoon + Evening = Wonderful :)
Today I had church in the morning. It was a healing service. I was in tears again. God's spirit was so heavy in that place! It was so beyond good! Liberating! Then I had lunch with Sue, Allison, and her dad, at the Clarion Hotel. . . before church again tonight.
God is truly changing me and stretching me in this season of life. I can honestly say I'm not the same person I was two and a half months ago. I am far from perfect - but daily strive to live out the destiny He has for me to it's fullest!
Before I end I must mention that this past week I was consumed by a couple of books by Francine Rivers. They took me 25 hours to read - didn't finish until 4am on Friday night. . . I couldn't put the book down! Not a "happy ever after" novel as some might hope to read. . . but the Lord spoke to me through them and I must say I now look at the scriptures in a whole new light. It's funny how God can speak so clearly through practical things. . . but He did just the same and I'm ever so grateful for it.
In awe of Him and all His splendor.
Be blessed friends
