We have to let Heavens strategy guide our Earthly activity and get on the same page with God. Like marching around Jericho, like stepping out of the boat onto the water, like facing off against a giant, like sending the worship team at the head of the army God has a unique way of doing things – He has the power but He uses us to demonstrate His reality and goodness. When we say YES He steps in and moves. The walls fell AFTER they walked around the city. Peter walked on water AFTER he stepped out of the boat. David defeated Goliath AFTER he stepped in the ring to fight, Jehosaphat won the battle after worshipping God. The valley of dry bones became a roaring army AFTER Ezekeiel prophesied. What is your AFTER moment? What is God calling you to step out into? from DRY BONES
open up these gates, the king of glory come in

this is a worship set Leonard does at Morningstar recently, playing lots of the songs he did with us at The River. i esp love Majesty and I will Rejoice. have totally become a “fan” and love his real enthusiasm and passion for Jesus!
so amazing, everything you do
so gently you touch, so sweetly you move
i spend my life chasing after you
i never get enough, but still i pursue
majesty, the essence of your majesty
worshipping your majesty
presence of your majesty
is where i want to be
you’re the one that paints with light the night
you’re always not wrong, and never not right
there’s not enough words on earth to describe
or to put into song, or compare with the brightness of your majesty
// majesty
You shed your royal robe to wash my feet
// Majesty
Your skin was broken openly
On your way to the mercy seat
It was love that gave you back your breath
And love that killed the life of death
// I Will Rejoice
My sin got lost where East meets West
Under the sea of forgetfulness
My hope is built on nothing less
Then Jesus’ blood and righteousness
// I Will Rejoice
*** we had Leonard Jones (used to be worship leader at morningstar) with us for a worship event over the weekend (saturday and sunday) and wow. the man can play. the man can worship. the man can stir us! the man can write amazing theologically packed lyrics. was an awesome weekend and such a joy to be led in worship by someone with such talent and dedication to his craft as a worship leader. he plays guitar, violin and banjo (as well as others!). so i thought i would share some of my favourite lyrics with you
He opens up his eyes
Rips the veil from his face to see the light
His life invading every single cell
He pulls the trophy to his chest
That they call the gates of hell
// Resurrection Song

He, knowing the kind of people he was dying for
He, letting his open wounds become their open door
Reality is setting in, for the life that I now live
I am living now in him I say

this is me service leading (MCing) our sunday night service on sunday… i just love the twinkly lights and the fading… i love our church!
on sunday morning i was priv’d to preach – i spoke on jonah – i love this graphic, found on pinterest (where all cool things are) – i love using visuals when i preach – brings a new dimension for those that are visually wired – and a great place to put awesome quotes! i love preaching, i feel most alive when i’m up the front, though i’m not deep and theological like other speakers, i know that God has given me a voice, uniquely mine, for His glory.
we were blest to have this amazing couple from our housegroup kidnap our kids (with permission and planning) on saturday, taking them to the mall, the movies and to the scooter park. our kids had a fantastic time out and it was great having a saturday arvo (pre preaching) to work on the powerpoint and pray and prepare
soooooooooooo excited about our ILLUMINATE women’s conf coming up in june! i’m stoked to be part of our women’s ministry team this year (officially for the first time!) which means i get to have an inside window into all the fun! annika and i met the other day and had some pinterest fun – thinking colours and design and then “girly” things like pink lemonade and pink jelly beans! loving it! cant wait to see the amazing things that God will do over the weekend – i so cherish our conf weekends, for connecting with God and connecting with the fantastic women in our church and community!
ahhh i love my boy! he is soooo into lego again and makes me smile with his genuine ready smile (and his not so genuine classic faces!)
and as always. i love Jesus with all i am and all my heart and all my soul and all my days. For His glory and the building of His kingdom and the rescue of the lost.
