the first day of my life

Now it is time for an Update.

since I left in Nov 2009 to go up to Brisbane,

much has Occurred.

So let's break it down..

Back to Island Breeze Sydney

I came back to Sydney in January and

joined as staff at YWAM Island Breeze Sydney
We had the YWAM 50th Jubilee Celebration in Canberra
and I settled into Indigenous Ministry and Communications on base.

Kitchen Injury

About 4 weeks ago, I burnt my left hand around the area of my
thumb (on the back and a little of the palm)
whilst trying to move a slow-cooker full of bubbling stew.
The burns were 2nd degree, and made life hard for a few weeks
but it is healing well and I didn't have to go to the burn clinic
or see a specialist.
I do have to keep it covered in the sun for 6 mths
to prevent permanent discolouration.

Warriors Join Together

At the end of February, God brought a man alongside me.
A warrior after His heart.
He was already a friend over last year and is also staff on base with me.

So, I am now in a relationship with a wonderful man of God
and learning more of God's heart through it.
It's beautiful.

God is already doing so much restoration and healing through him.
He is overseas at the moment, doing a leadership school.

Me & my Warrior

Created to Worship

I was meant to staff the June - Nov
Discipleship Training School [DTS]
but after prayer and taking various things into account,
I have decided to do the School of Worshipping Warriors [SOWW]
which starts today.
This is the first worship school of this kind to be run on our base.

Opening of the SOWW

Bollywood Hen's Night for a girl on base

I know I am called to worship and so this is a good
training ground for me.
I am very excited for what God is going to do
over the next 6 months of this school.
I want to go deep deep deeper into the river of His Intimate
Amazing Beautiful Love Glory Fire Heart

Some of the guys from my base

so.. being home is a little ...surreal..
feels like a whole different world.
I guess when I was at the base last year,
on staff, my heart was still one foot out the door
in a way
especially as I was still at uni
and terrified to commit to anything.

there is a sweet breeze sitting lightly upon the air
dancing and moving my t-shirt as I type.
the hint of winter is still clinging to life, whispering
that rememberance before it begins its journey
across the pond, as spring announces summer's entrance
like a dear old friend long since gone...

I'm going to the city tonight
to see old drinking friends I've not seen in a long while.
By drinking friends, I mean other people
who love getting drunk in the Holy Spirit!

but today.. I feel like I'm almost walking in a dreamland.
in a nice way.
today is a day for deep thoughts and considerations.
I have been thinking about many things
since being home.

there shall be more.
but tonight, I dance.
