DAY THIRTY - TASTE AND SEE

Tonight my husband and I were fortunate enough to attend the Crave Young Adults Meeting at our church. It was so great! We left the kids at home with Nan - and just enjoyed a night out.

As the night unfolded, I kept thinking this was the best kind of church. We were together worshiping God, sharing God stories, and praying for and supporting one another. It was easy going and genuine. It was particularly encouraging to hear Meg share her stories from her recent trip to Canada, Malaysia and Thailand...and actually hear that God is moving TODAY! Amazing stories of God directing the team to specific people/places, and God using them to speak healing into people's lives! So inspiring.

Dean shared about his next venture in joining the police force - and we were able to gather around and pray for him too. As well as hear Bec's plans to "give everything up", to serve Him in Africa.

Rachael and the team, did an amazing job of leading worship as well, and as I sat back and tasted the goodness of it all, I suddenly saw how privileged I was to be a part of what God was doing here in Ballarat.

Psalm 34:8 says "Taste and see that the Lord is good."

It reminds me of the song some friends of ours in YWAM wrote... Taste and See by 100 Hours. Here's the song. Sorry there's no real video - but you can listen to it at least.

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
