Wow!! Where did all the time go?!? I feel like i just got back from OUTreach and I'm going OUT again... I think the proof of that is in the Cha Yen>> the last time i Blogged i had just got back from outreach & the time before i was just leaving to go there! Confusing hey?!? So how can i summerise this 4 weeks before another 2 get away :)
Well straight up it has gone just amazingly quick... but not to quick to make decissions. Each day has been a day where i have been able to choose to seek what God has instore with an open and teachable heart or to just wander through. And there have been times of wander. But there have been times of God speaking clearer than the light of day! And it seems to be up to wether i want to listen to Him or not. This is the struggle of alot of humans i think... somedays we just drift through... (and I'm thankfully for the weekend so i don't mean days of chilling, but just days that we don't acknowledge God) Will i choose for today to be rightfully God's or will it be unrightfully mine. So my resolve is to give it rightfully to God! Maybe not as easy as it sounds, but definately not as hard as I make it out to be. And I am comforted as a think about all the things God has taught me so far on DTS & what amazing truths that He is just looking for an oportunity to pour out.
so 4 weeks of lectures have passed... But I'll just let you know about some of it.
Teaching on: Sin & Repentance / Openess & Brokeness
Coming into that week i was abit unsure. I had my reservation i think? I knew/thought there could be some aspect of public confession of sin & I wasn't too sure of that. Do I have to dig up all my past? It's forgiven. I had read the scriputre before about "confess your sin to one another and you will be healed". Before the week started i was sitting down and was in the proccess of Gin Cow (eating food/rice) and chatting with some of the crew here. They shared their reservation about digging things up to speak things out & I replied pretty confidently... yeah i'm not really worried about this week... I think thinking that there was really nothing that I hadn't confessed before God. And as the week went on i realised that was true. But there were some things that I had never shared with anyone else. So as God spoke to me i started to share. The enemy had spoken to me before saying you haven't ever said anything about it... you're scared... you haven't really been forgiven because you're hiding... if you had you wouldn't be! So things needed to come out into the open, but the reason they had never come out before was that they needed to stay where no one could see them? Well so I thought? God has brought about healing in this... and thats better than hiding in a corner of some room. So pray about taking the opporunity to step into openess with God and maybe one of his people aswell.
SO WHAT NOW!!! Chiang Rai? When: This Sunday! & What are we doing there? ...well thats a good question... & thats where it gets EXCITING!!! We don't really know! :-) All we know is
that God has spoken to some people in our team of 11 people to go to a village near Omkoi
(about 3 hours out of Chiang Rai). We have decided to go for around 4-5 days & other than that everyday we will simply pray and ask God where He wants us to go and what He wants us to do! There are 2 other team going to Chiang Mai to just follow whatever God says! Thanks for your prayers! This is gunna be amazing! I can't wait to see what God has planned. Going with no planned accomodation or purpose leaves alot open... so i praise God for that!
