For the love of dairy....Amber
Wow I really didn't feel like blogging today (just because I'm too tired to type) but seeing as Ash has now done TWO in row...I'm feeling kinda pressured. Haha. So I'm at school and I'm going to try and explain my weekend.
At Zion we had a 24 hour worship weekend and it was great! I brought 4 highschool students from Stonewall with me (including Jess) and first of all it was super encouraging to see that they even wanted to come with me and just the hunger to be anywhere where Jesus is...AH! The evening started and it turned out that I missed my friend Murray's hour which I said I was going to be at and then I think for the first 6 hours of worship I spent writing in my prayer journal just telling God about all the things that I felt He has stripped away these past three weeks... Things that have really defined my life in the past.
Then it was like God was saying "Okay Amber...are you done complaining now? Because I am still God and you still need to get off your butt and give me all of you". And the rest of the 12 hours was amazing! It wasn't as though I felt God was angry at me or expected to perform for Him; but it was AGAIN the things we allow to steal our joy and AGAIN...
it sure isn't about me.
So I have two layers of blisters on the bottoms of my feet( although they don't hurt a bit) just because we danced for hours and hours and I still hold the theory that God speaks through sweat...haha. But it was incredible! So many stories! Long story short: There was a speaker who talked about the symbolism of opening this bottle of water (in terms of revival) and we squeezed it open and water came gushing out (of course) so then Pastor Randy started to annoint people with this 500ml water bottle and almost a hundred people came up and water was pouring EVERYWHERE and at the end of the service the bottle was still full! We shouted louder than I could blow my chauffer!
God never stops making my jaw drop. Homework has even been easier since that Sat night. And I had the most encouraging run/talk with my friend Jay today...AMEN!
