2010 in 24 hours

harp and bowl was awesome. most people left after the main even at 9, which was fine. they missed out though... it was an opportunity to go from worship into something deeper, and it was grand. pun not intended but apt - i got to play a grand piano!!!! what a gift from God to me. its my dream instrument. the resonance just feels right to the core of my being (i am so *not* a keyboard player!) wow.

debbie b blew a rams horn at midnight. shivers. then we went into 'hosanna'....


... and as we were playing, me on my unexpected dream instrument, i looked up and saw fireworks through the sanctuary windows. WOW.

then we wrapped up and tidied and went over to the other church for more prayer. they also had a grand piano and i promptly went to that.

we spent most of the night in the cozy fireside room, alternately praying and worshipping on our own w/ guitar and a drum (djembe? i don't know) or with some harp and bowl cds to work from.

most people napped at some point in the night, but there was *always* someone awake. (but i finally napped for a few minutes after lunch). in the morning we had another full band time and i unexpectedly spent most of it on the drum instead of the piano. (i'd never really played one before and i gotta get one!!!) ....it was incredible. ministering to an audience of One, with no fear of man, is amazing...

the anointing was there the whole time, too. i felt it hit about 9:30pm (during our sound check) straight through until after 6pm new years day.

a team from kitimat came and led us from 4-6 and it was awesome.

its one of those things you wish everyone was there for. but.... it wasn't what God had planned. i don't know why... but it wasn't. it may have been more for the worshippers and intercessors who were there, a breaking through. i know i felt a lot of freedom i've never felt before in worship. wow.

by afternoon i was stumbling a bit and saying stupid things LOL, like 'man, i'm sleep depraved!'. i fell over in the last part of worship cuz i was dancing too hard for being so tired! then we helped clean up and i didn't get home till amost 7:30, i got ready for bed and did a few things i *had* to do, then conked out for the next 14 hours.

today i'm taking it easy and fighting off a cranky, persistent headache (surprise, suprise? :)....
and marvelling at the goodness of God.
just marvelling..... wow.

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
