Hellooooo there everybody!
So! What news do I have for you all?!
Life here is going splendidly!! In fact yesterday I got to go to the beach... TWICE! which was sweet because I love the beach and Tauranga is beautiful and I'm surrounded by beautiful people!
I HAVE OUTREACH NEWS!! So as it turns out we are not going to Malaysia after all!! Ashley (the school leader) had a word a couple of weeks ago from the Lord basically checking our hearts and making sure that even if we didn't go to Malaysia that we would still trust God and go wherever he called us to go! Anyway... we all started praying about it and all of us felt that actually God wanted us to stay in NZ and begin sowing into the land here paving the way for revival!! WOOPP WOOP! And the weird thing is I'm actually really excited about it! Like more excited then I was about Malaysia! Which is odd considering that I'm a Kiwi and I love travelling to new places! But God's good like that :) And I know that He's not only going to provide everything that we need for this outreach but also that He's going to use us mightily!
Yeeeeeee!
Anyway what else is God doing in me??!!
well... the other day I was in the shower (yes they do have showers here praise the Lord!) and I heard God say to "Hannah, you don't truly believe that I am good."
And I was just like "What are you talking about God?! I know that You are good"
And God was like "Well how come you can't confess your hope that you're going to get married one day? It's because you don't believe that I'm going to do provide for that..."
I was just like "FLIP! You're right God!" And God was just like "Hannah, I want to teach you about my goodness..."
hahaha... and that's what He's doing!!
In my mind I had this stereotype that seeking God is all about praying and fasting and having those one on one times with God where you are just saturated in His presence! I love those times and I know that God loves them too because the whole purpose of us being created is to love God and be loved by God... BUT God's totally opening my eyes to the fact that when we do things like go exploring, or enjoy a really good meal, I have those moments where you laugh so hard you cry, or just having a really tasty chat with someone you love, or just enjoy laying in the sunshine, that actually, if we open our eyes enough, we're discovering God! Learning more about His heart, about how He loves to delight us, and His ABSOLUTE GOODNESS!!
So yeah... God's taking me on this kind of journey where He's like reminding me of things... like "Hey, do you remember that time you were at the beach and you felt so free and full of joy that you thought you would explode? Well... I was laughing so hard until the point that I cried with absolute delight! I love to delight you Hannah!"
Sooo yeah! God is really good :) And get a load of this.... God is super natural... So the more natural we are the more super He can be through us! SO basically we don't need to try and be "More spiritual" or anything like that! The more we are truly ourselves, and allow God to show us what that really means, the more God can work through us :)
YEAH!!! Soooo GOOODDD!!!!
Anyway... I hope you're all doing well and having fabulous days wherever you are! As for me... I'm going to see whose keen to go to the mount..... I love the mount!! Maybe go for a run and do a spot of cleaning!! WOOP! Loving the lazy Sundays!
Peace Out Y'all!!
