Haha this is cool, i discovered i can write in different colours!! how fun! alright so now to the real stuff...life is good - we are doing our fieldwork intensive this week and it's getting ready for conference, we had to find a person to work under and help them do whatever needs to get done for conference - conference is next week! July 2-6 - i'm on night cleaning! i'm actually excited - because it's a shorter day and i get to sleep longer! and it can be so much fun if you get a good team and so i know a few other people who are on it as well so i'm excited! anyways back to intensive this week - i'm doing mine with Powerhouse so that's youth aged 18-25 - and our task was to do a mailout which was sending info to those we can't call by phone because their numbers are disconnected or something and then the next two days we got to call New Christians/New People, wow....can i just say how amazing it was!! oh my gosh, i got to connect with some people which was really great - and like the power of just calling them impacted them so much! I believe they were divine appointments for sure. I'm so glad that i have a car, it truly is a blessing, because it has opened me up to be able to connect with some of these people who can't get to church and stuff because of rides, so how cool is that that i get to help them out, bring them to church and connect them with others - i'm so excited, God is so good, i've wanted to get involved with New Christians for a while, but i've been busy with school and assignments and work and was going to do it next term, but God is awesome and allowed me to start already! i just love how God knows our inner most desires even if we havne't been praying about something he still blesses those desires, it's so amazing...so many people out there just long to be connected, know they are loved, what a great opportunity i have to be able to help these girls out and maybe even have them in my connect group! This is what church looks like! anyways i should go - heading to another church tonight to hang with their youth!! i'm pumped! anyways hope everyone is doing well - email me and let me know how you are doing and if i can pray for you! love you
June - the month of miracles!
so June here is the month of miracles as we have been told in college and we are starting to see it everywhere - a friend of mine was given $3000.00 towards staying for a second year of college, so that is really exciting, tuesday night we had a mega prayer night and the nation of australia needs rain and we prayed for rain upon rain upon rain and it has not stopped raining since other than today it's currently not raining but that's because i told God that it couldn't rain today because i had to do carpark and didn't want to be wet and cold - he listens...
another friend of mine does embrace as his weekly ministry which is going into a nursing home and doing a little service there and he's been believing for miracles there and he had the chance to pray for people and their arthritis was healed, back pain, heart pain etc, so God is good, his timing is excellent!!
oh the cops came to my apartment yesterday, i just got home from work and was going to rest because i had a one hour break and then was going back to work and my roommate moriah came in to get me and i thought she was pulling a prank on me, not that she usually does or anything but i thought she was joking and she wasn't, so i came out and they were saying that i had been in an accident in april sometime they had 2 witnesses etc but i said that i hadn't even bought the car until may 19th so it wasn't me so then i just had a nice chat with them as they wrote up the report, they said they are usually in the really bad areas of the city and was nice to come to a nicer area and have a nice conversation rather than all the people that are usually cursing and screaming at them to get away from them - all the things they have to deal with is just crazy, they must really be glad to go home some days - thinking i'll start praying for police officers - here they seem pretty nice anyways
well i really can't think of anything else to say - we have our miracle offering coming up in church this month and we are donating $500,000 minimum to the Watoto Children in Uganda who are child soldiers - these kids hide out in areas to sleep at night because they will be kidnapped and forced to kill other people etc so we are sending money to help these poor children - we saw a dvd on it and wow, it is an eye opener - we are so lucky in north america and europe and australia that we don't have to deal with this stuff, but some kids this is their reality of living - so scary - i'm so blessed
on that note,
peace out
