I entered the room and was met by the rain and tropical sounds of birds (like a monsoon) a white light was beginning to hint its way in. Then after a long pause of listening to the sound of the rain, out of nowhere it seemed, music from the i-pod began to play.
I must admit, having put the white paper on the floor myself yesterday, one of my first thoughts were... how did the paper on the floor get so rugged? but then I remembered that there has been mention of alot of dancing!
I knelt before the cross someone had drawn and tried to give everything to God. I then started to write names of our imediate community. I began to pray about reaching out to others and started drawing around my left hand as a sign of reaching out. As I was drawing backwards from the start I hit upon someone elses previous drawing which had two hands, ''We are His hands'. I took this as encouragement to keep going, this time tracing around my right arm which was harder to do but this became a symbolic act for me I really wanted to get into practice of reaching out. As I did this I came across more and more prayers written about reaching the lost and caring for the poor. It was great to feel like I was praying amongst other peoples prayers before me. I got to a point where I felt I should switch arms again and unknowingly my new drawing then met a right arm drawing I had made and the two arms clasped hands perfectly.
As I continued to pray the light from outside began to shine in full morning light.
I am so greatful for what God is doing in us!
Thankyou everyone for praying!!
