SDRAWKCAB?

A rundown of the last couple days.

It's the weeekend, and we've had some fun. Friday night, Michaela, Kenzie, and I watched Red and Hot Rod over at the boys' house. Really liked Red! Claimed all the glory for Hot Rod as it was filmed in beautiful British Columbia! Reppin'.

Then yesterday, had some work duties stuff to take care of, switching over and cleaning through the speaker cabin to prep it for this week's speaker (we're doing Spiritual Authority this week - nice!), and then I stayed back home while the rest of the girls went to town. That was a good choice for me. I know that generally, it's easiest to sort of shove my time with God in between "my" schedule, so I felt like setting some time aside for Him would probably be a good idea.

So I had a lovely afternoon! Almost everyone around here was in town, so I had time to myself that I don't usually get. I journalled, I played soccer (read: attempted to play soccer) with the base kids, I played guitar and read my Bible and prayed. Why don't I always set aside big chunks of time for stuff like this?! It was really wonderful, and I got to settle some things in my spirit that I felt had just been sitting around surface level. So worthwhile.

Then, last night, Sam (a guy on staff) had a birthday party at the staff girls' house, so we stopped in for food and fellowship. [Michaela and I were craving some Fellowship of the LOTR sort, but... it wasn't our party. Maybe next weekend.] We talked and hung out and whatever for a while, and things had started winding down when Joel (another guy on staff who leads street ministry on Friday nights) suggested that we had some time for prophesying into Sam's life. So we gathered around and prayed and prophesied, and it was good, and then we began to speak into each other's lives.

And it was very good :) We gave and received words, we prayed for healings, and I anointed something with oil for my first time! Haha. It was cool. This went on for a long while, and some people were really getting hit hard. We finished the night off with homemade ice cream cake. Nice touch!

I personally just heard a lot of what I've been talking to God about, so I was really affirmed and just blessed by it. I know this isn't a "YWAM thing" at all, it's just a "life with God thing", but one of the things I was really thankful for yesterday afternoon was being in a place that so facilitates setting aside time for God, that emphasizes intimacy and KNOWING Him, and knowing that I was specifically called to be here - now.

This week will be good; excited to share some more [and deeper] thoughts with you guys.
