seeing God.

know God and make him know n.

i am in australia and God is rocking my world. i look outside and see the shining sun and immediatly get consumed in his goodness. It is hard to even explain the many emotions that have overtaken my body this week. i live in a house with ten girls and share a garage with five of them. it currently flooded and all our clothes got wet, we had to shut off our water and if it is on shower time is limited to none. i smell of ocean and taste like salt and i love it. my ipod broke and no internet is in our house, my cell phone doesnt work and when we are at the church internet works on occasion and its wonderful. God is taking the things i once thought was important and limiting me to nothing, or in reality to all i need, HIM. classes started monday and this week is really orientation, getting the hang of things and how it all works, but we had a night worship that left me forever changed. Everyone sat on one side of the room all holding rocks. a line seperating us from the other side. a chair in the front of the room we walked up one by one and shared our testimonies. pouring our hearts out to people we have known for only a few days, going up sitting there exposing all your secrets all your insecurities and when finished you put the rock in the bucket and cross over to the other side; leaving all your past, all your sins behind. and crossing over to the freeness, to the immense power and forgiveness of God. it was incredible, being here is incredible. God is what we eat for breakfast, and consume for dinner, he is everywhere and in everything and the meaning and validity of life here can not be explained in words. i hope to update more often, but for now know how much i am praying for all of you and feel honored to be here to be able to share God's love. we had this metaphore refering to the evangelism were going to be starting. they said lets say your throwing a party and your using tickets as means of getting the word out and inviting people, you would do all you could to get them to everyone to have the biggest most wonderful party possible. but once the party arrives lets say your still left with millions of tickets, millions of people left uninvited, how lame would that be, how sad would you feel and dissappointed at the turnout. same is with God, with salvation. heaven is a party and we have to get the word out INVITE EVERYONE. we as christians as followers of God hold the tickets, lets invite everyone.
