Dance Dance Dance!!

The week was been filled with dancing, acting and a look into the future. We finally started doing some ministry prep last week. Learning some skits such as “Everything”, it’s from a song called Everything by Lifehouse, most people I’m sure have heard of it or seen it before but if you haven’t go and look it up on youtube it’s an amazing drama and has really impacted my life a lot.
I was very impressed with the students as they learned the drama and easily picked it up and within a day and a half were doing it with precession. There are still some kinks to be worked out but just little things to make it over the top good. The best thing about this drama is that all the students are involved and it just brings the team together perfectly. (I’m ok with not being in it as I don’t like acting all that much) We were also taught some other short, quick yet powerful drama’s that are fun for younger kids. They are a lot of fun and just run off of improvisation which is great, but also has lots of involvement with the kids so that makes it much better. Also doing them in Chichewa makes a big difference when you have a lot of talking parts. As I’m sure you can guess I’m not doing these ones either since I can’t speak much Chichewa at all.
Our week of dancing and drama’s ended Friday night with what YWAM calls a “Love Feast”. It’s a night of setting up the room really nicely, everyone dressing up with their best clothes and we eat the best food we have. It’s a night of just admiring what God has been doing as people gave testimonies as well as just encouraged each other. It was a fantastic evening and was really uplifting to each of us. It’s amazing what some encouraging words can do to your Spirit. It was touching to hear some of the words people said to me, I have been feeling that I haven’t been that great of a leader here this season, but from people’s words they seemed to think the completely opposite which was uplifting to me.
The week had some very good high points, but sadly it seemed for me that the week was full of extremes. Though at times I was incredible joyful and Spiritually doing wonderful, there were other times when I was very depressed and Spiritually didn’t want to be doing anything at all. I think part of things going on with me is that I’m nervous and anxious about the next two months as I co-lead the team out on outreach. I don’t really know what to expect with anything and I know that the team is amazing and don’t need me to really be there to lead them I still feel the responsibility of leading them well. Thankfully I know that God is really in control and leading the team as He wants them to be led.

Prayer:
-some people don’t have all the money yet needed for Outreach
-we are in dire need of fuel, for cars, and generators
-Daniel and Suzy are sick
-We have another team coming from South Africa this week
-for a boldness as we start outreach

IFathers Lap
I don't want to stand on the door step,
Or be at the back of the crowd.
I don't want to be held back by the people of the world,
Or the pillars that hold it together.
I will push my way forward,
Not to be at the front of the crowd,
Not just sit at the feet at the edge of His thrown,
But I wanna crawl into the warmth of my fathers lap
And have His arms wrapped around me,
Feeling His breath as He speaks.
I wanna press my head against His Chest
And hear the sound of His heart beat.
I want to smile as my Father whispers into my ear how much He loves and adores me
I will hold onto my father when the storms come my way.
Holding tightly when the world tries to pull me away.
I will be strong, clinging to the Father.
Holding onto the words He speaks.
Living the Way He lives.
