My heart is so full of excitement right now. I just got back from a leaders meeting where Pastor Danny Guglielmucci from Edge Church spoke tonight.
Firstly, how is it that my church is getting all of these awesome speakers?! Just this past month we have had Pastor Magnus Pearson from Sweden, Pastor Zhenya from Hillsong Ukraine and tonight Pastor Danny Guglielmucci who leads a church of about 5000 people in South Australia!! I was sitting in the car ride home with Ruth and I was just so in awe of God in what He is doing right now. To be a part of something that is changing peoples lives, to know that God is moving powerfully – it is so crazy!!
Pastor Danny had a word for our church, pretty much the same word that many of the other visiting pastors had prophesied – that now is the time of acceleration and multiplication! I was is such awe at what God is doing in South Australia I just sat there the whole night with my mouth hanging open. To even have the prime minister John Howard want to go to Edge Church just because he wanted to visit – thats huge!
My God is a huge God and is capable of anything! Today as they were filming my testimony for tomorow nights Friends and Family night service it just hit me about how far God has brought me. I’m not the same insecure and shy person I was two years ago thats for sure! To see the abundance He has added to my life! Everyday I wake up and I know I am saved, I know I have purpose and destiny with a dream in my heart! Everyday as I keep walking my faith out its exciting and challenging!
Tonight at the leaders meeting it was such a encouragement for me. Just like Abraham and Issac in the bible, I am here to ‘carry the wood’ that is, the vision of the church. I am willing and committed to tie myself down to that vision and bear the burden. I am here to start on the journey of the vision and end on the vision. To have a sense of calling versus a choice; this is my calling, my purpose, my destiny in God.
This is beyond anything my heart can phantom right now, all I know is that theres no turning back. Its just a forward momentum and I’m so excited to see what the days before me will entail as I ‘carry the wood’!
Yes!! Please tie me down! and let me carry the wood!!
your testimony was awesome! you are awesome! God is awesome!
