I wanted to blog about this yesterday because I didn't want to forget or lose the depth of the experience that this weekend was. BUT -- I couldn't bring myself to turn my computer on =) I just wanted to remain"unplugged" (from the "real world") and "tuned-in" (to the spirit and His work) for just a little more.


Ofcourse, life bleeds back in, like water soaking back into a sponge that's been wrung out. So, as I am working this evening, I thought I'd write.



The worship, was ofcourse, spectacular, all encompasing, and there is really nothing like worshipping with THOUSANDS of people, with hearts on fire for God, the Spirit feels tangible like fine strings of light and love stretching and swirlling around hands and hearts. I've never stretched my fingers up so high to heaven, never have sung so that I felt like what was in my heart wasn't humanly possible to come out of just my vocal chords ... like I wanted to leave the confines of my body and let my spirit dance in joy and tears, my voice didn't feel like it was enough to worship God.



I don't really know where to start, so maybe I'll just start listing (for lack of a better way to do it) the things that God told me and impressed upon my heart.



God confirmed our music to me. He loves our hearts for it, He loves us.



Being a servant, the literal hands and feet of Jesus here on earth is one of the ultimate acts of worship. We need to get real and get dirty and reach out and touch those in need, just like Jesus did. It's my mission now to apply this in my life.



Love, Love is patient, Love is Kind, Love never fails, Love is the currency of the kingdom and we need to Love ... REEEEELY Love. Not the showy love, but the selfless kind. Everyone is valuable and Loved so dearly by Jesus.



We need to be "Blood Stained Believers". Be so marked that the world will know we are Christians by our Love, and death will ultimately pass over us. Jesus is our sacrifice and the ultimate act of Love and saving grace to us.



Murray -- this is my "Airport Vinyard" experience.

If I ever wondered if HE loved me

So, I'm going to admit how pathetic and "of little faith" I can be with this post. Of course, there needs to be a bit of prelude-type explanation. On Nov. 20th my husband and I will celebrate a special anniversary -- 4 years since leaving our home -- the only one we've known in Sherwood Park, Canada -- and driving, with only our car, clothes and guitars across the border and down, down, down to San Diego, California. (that's 1751 miles south) Our reason for the move was to pursue our music, our mission and our dreams and just a new life, pioneers of sorts. It would take me many blogs to say how many times God has shown me his love through the whole process, from easy stops at border crossings, to precisely timed Visa interviews, to lenient border guards, to miracles in paperwork and finding jobs, it is astounding how He has continually provided for us, and continually strengthens my faith through circumstance. So, enter here and now, almost 4 years later after V...

There has been a lot of emotion for me the last couple days ~ it's hard to describe to someone who doesn't understand. After finding out that my dad that I've never known, is alive and has been looking for me, and after being found by a half sister -- worlds just are not the same.  The very person who's lack of presence has had a mighty hand in shaping the person that I am, is now is this strange half-shadow that is almost within reach, but still not accessible. My heart wants to scream sometimes (a messy mixture of fear, frustration and joy) but I know that I need to give him the space that he needs.  It's all so very messy this life, this love.  God has been the only father's love I have known -- but as I believe that God is creating great healing and restoration to my dad's soul and mine as well. I described this way to a good friend of mine: It's like your life is this little house, with all these windows letting in light, and you know these w...

Today I have a bad attitude. It's not even like I have a really good excuse, in fact they are pretty pitiful but I'll share. I have this pretty uncanny ability to wake up RIGHT at my alarm ... I'm not talking in the general vicinity of when it goes off, by 5 or 10 mins ... this morning, I literally woke up walked to my phone and my alarm went off, that's like 30 seconds early. So, you would think the morning is off to a good start. I worked out and thought about sitting on my couch with my warm and fuzzy latte in hand and got to the fridge, only to realize that my darling husband had used all the milk. This is not a big deal (or it shouldn't be) but we actually really had no real food anyways, no eggs, not even a bun or toast, so my breakfast hiatus from my day was thwarted. Never fear, I can get food at work - no biggie. So, work is work. I drive, I arrive. It's corporate, and now, thanks to our inter-office move, ridiculously quiet. And it's good, none ...
