Fire

Last week and this week have been such crazy weeks. At the end of last week our speaker went into 8 traits of a Father. A fun father,generous father,seeking father,forgiving father,merciful father,just father,lonely father, and a self-sacrificing father. The two that really spoke to me was a seeking father and a lonely. Do you know that He longs for us to be with Him. He seeks us out, are you answering? The speaker asked God what hurts you, and He said, When I'm not important to you, when I'm not included,(how often do you tell everybody else about your day,but don't include God?), when you don't help me in my time of need, when you don't care about the things I care about. Ouch! Well if that doesn't awaken you I don't know what will. God doesn't need us yet He wants us. It just makes God so personal. One of the other things that was said was that God is a being. He has a mind, He reasons, He has emotions, He chooses. As the weeks go by I am becoming more in love with Him!

On Sun. I went to church and got a chance to see Nicky Cruz, for anyone that doesn't know who that is he is in the book The Cross and the Switchblade.
He gave a very good sermon. He talked about Noah and how he had to be an ark builder and an evangelist. He warned the people. Then Nicky said even the animals were smarter than the humans, they knew something was coming. They were in tune with their creator. He went on saying how many times does God have to warn us? When will we wake up and do something?
That evening I had an evening out with a friend. We got caught up with each other. She is another friend God has blessed me with.

This week we are starting on Spiritual Warfare. Excellent speaker and I am already learning so much. I will share more at the end of the week.
Mon. we were headed down for worship and the electricity went out. Then found out that the transformer by the kitchen blew up and started the wall outside on fire. We as a class loaded up and went to our staff leaders house and had pizza there and even got the afternoon of lessons in. When we came back it still wasn't on, so supper was brought in. Then they thought that we would have to go to another motel to spend the night because the temp. was going to be below zero. So we packed an overnight bag and waited. Finally by 9:00 it came back on, and we were allowed to stay. Yeah! So it was a very crazy day! Back to normal today though.
This afternoon we had a lady come in that lives in Nepal, at the YWAM base,
and she talked to us a little about what to expect. She will be the one to set us up where we will be staying and what kind of ministry we want to get involved in. She couldn't talk long because she was taking off tonight to go back to Nepal. I can't believe this is actually happening. It's not very far away!
