2 - 4am

As soon as I stepped into the room, God welcomed me with his arms wide open...tired and bewildered though I was, I knew that I wouldn't want to leave when my time was up...so many inspiring prayers...they are more open, searing, honest, beautiful, challenging than ever before...a community that can hear God's call for justice, to love others the way He loves us, to pray and stand with those who are being persecuted in His name, to speak up for those who have no voice, to challenge slavery, to face up to our own struggles, but at the same time, thanking God that he is Holy, Almighty, our Dad, friend, saviour, lover - our Hope and Faith forevermore...couldn't stop scampering from one side of the room to the other, over flowing with things I wanted to share with Jesus, things I wanted to scribble and draw, with Jesus inspiring me all the while...turned off the music to listen to the dawn chorus of birds bringing in a new day...what a symbol of hope that God has blessed us with everyday - that darkness will always give itself up to the light of day - just as Jesus banishes the dark wherever he is present...what an amazing creator God is! Thinking as well about heaven and our REAL home - thank you God for your incredible promises to us...

Thank you everyone who has prayed and will pray! Thank you, Jesus for this community. Amen!
