Almost there!

Wow... what a week! I just had an amazing time at the ONETHING conference put on by IHOP (international house of prayer) not to be confused with pancakes... though there're good to. 


It was an intense 4 day event attended by over 25,000 totally sold out God people. I walked into the convention center auditorium and I immediately got goose bumps over my entire body. The speakers were passionate, the worship leaders completely anointed and the people totally on fire with the holy spirit. I felt like I was "unplugged" of so much junk that was piled up in my spirit over the last few months. It was amazing to let loose, pray and worship, listen to amazing speakers and of course be with awesome friends! What a way to bring in the new year!

Now it's time to pack for Ecuador! WHAt?! I know right, time flies! Can't believe it, i have meetings tomorrow and then wed. I fly out. I'm so excited! I just know that God is going to do amazing things. I'm so pumped right now! I'm so excited to meet the people, taste the food, see the sites and of course meet some amazing people and get to know a little about their culture. 

God is a God of diversity, change and new beginnings. He loves to show us the adventure of his nature and the tenderness of his heart. Whoever said that a life with God is boring is obviously missing something major because it's never, never a dull moment! Have you read the bible?! look at the stories of Joshua, Moses, Ezekiel, David, the apostle Paul, Peter, Timothy the disciples, their lives are so far from boring! But it's a dangerous thing to give your all, it required sacrifice and faith, it requires strength, boldness and endurance, but the good news is that we're not alone, that we don't have to come up with these things by ourselves! It's God that worketh in us both to DO and to WILL of his good pleasure.


 Don't be scared that you'll waver, falter, or fall cause the one who gave everything for you is still there to catch you every time. His love for you is a raging fire, it can't be tamed, it's flames can't be diminished or put out. His eyes are a flames of fire, but his voice is that of streams of water, gentle, refreshing and inviting. He is passion and peace, the very epitome of all that is zealous, wild and raging, yet he is all love, all mercy, all quietness.  


Rest in his love... he invites you to rest.

Stay tuned for more about my trip... stories, pictures and all that wonderful stuff! I'm going to try and post as much as possible in the next couple weeks.
