A place for my random thoughts, anecdotes and reflections of what I see and experience in this lifetime.

Bursting with excitement!

I am literally about to explode as a result of the last 3 hours or so.

It started out with a follow-up phone call to a person who made an enquiry through the church office about the upcoming FIGS Camp. Thinking we may be getting one extra person who doesn't usually come to FIGS was great.

As it turned out, we'll be getting 5 (yes, FIVE!) extra people coming, who don't usually come to church!! Such awesome answer to prayer!! Praise our mighty and everlasting God for his faithfulness and goodness.

These opportunities do not come everyday and it feels like the Holy Spirit within me has reignited its flame again.

How lethargic and lukewarm we can become with doing our things every day, and not have any real thirst and hunger for opportunities in ministry. Then again we should be asking for such opportunities everyday, and being prepared for when they do occur.

This is probably the best evidence yet to prove that ministry beckons right on our doorstep, and we need to make the effort and take the time to build these bridges and not let them fall away.

" The LORD is gravious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich to love. The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. All you have made will praise you, O LORD; your saints will extol you.

They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendour of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.

The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made."

Psalm 145:8-13
