Falling on my knees... Literally.

Sooo this past week has been an interesting one!! Hahaha I love the YWAM lifestyle, but it does promote lack of sleep!! What with getting up early to have some beautiful time with Jesus and then going to bed super late because of all the cool people hanging around outside our door! And today… I’m feeling it… so this blog could be on the odd side, but that’s ok! I’ve had 3 cups of coffee and I’ve just finished dancing in the rain so I’ll be fine!

Well what’s been happening??

Well Jesus has been totally wrecking my life… in the best possible way!

So… last week we had Shirley Brownhill speaking… Oh my… She just opens here mouth and speaks in her soft motherly voice and the Holy Spirit just falls… bringing so much conviction and TRUTH.
Jesus was just totally convicting me all throughout the week on areas of pride and mistrust and comparisons, and then on Friday…. FLIP!

We had a time of ministry where we had the opportunity to just get right before God with the stuff that he’d been convicting us with during the week. So I went up for prayer… and God used this to bring up all this stuff to do with the Father heart of God.. didn’t even know that that was an issue but basically God brought up all this stuff to do with how I have this mistrust towards God, and also to do with a lot of people in my life, particularly guys… anyway… I started bawling… like BAWLING out of some deep wound in my heart and God just totally broke that in my life… and oh… the feeling of freedom that came afters was BEAUTIFUL!!

Anyway… you’re probably wondering about the title of this blog… it has to do partly with falling on my knees in front of Jesus…  my beautiful saviour… but partly to do with what happened this Tuesday evening…

HAHAHAHA it was so funny.

It actually starts off with a pretty cool story! So Josh and Marty (two of the directors of the YWAM base here) are quite in the habit of throwing me and Arielle out of our comfort zones by asking us to worship lead sometimes literally twenty minutes before we get up to lead haha which we are getting a lot better at, and it means that when you get up there you totally have to rely on God… coz there ain’t nothing else to rely on!
Anyway this particular Tuesday this same thing had happened and I, if I’m being honest really did not feel like getting up to lead, but me and Arielle got up there… Just us and an acoustic guitar… plus the flippin creator of the universe… and the Holy Spirit just fell in the place like I’ve never seen before! Hahaha God has the most hilarious timing! Like literally we didn’t end up having a messege that night because God was just moooovvving! It was awesome! People were prophicying over each other, getting healed… some without even going forward for prayer! God is amazing… and can use anything… haha so good…

Anyway, there was one part of the evening where everybody was getting up to pray and lay hands on Brianna, I got up rather enthusiastically at exactly the same point that Nicolas decided that he needed to stretch his foot… I went flying and nose dived into the carpet infront of everybody… of course it WOULD be the German who slyly stuck out his foot ;) I’m just joking… I love Germans… But it was particularly funny I have to say!


Yah! But it’s all going rather fast! And it’s crazy just watching God move! Like I take this miniscule step of obedience following His call to come back to YWAM and He runs 10000000 miles  to come and meet me! YAAAAAAHHH!!! God is good

Peace out!!
