Evening all, its getting cooler now, the temp has dropped by about 10 degrees. its was pretty cloudy today which was annoying.
Yesterday we arranged with 4 friends to go to a local cliff jumping place with an amazing water fall. So we all arranged met at church, we got there and there was about 4 cars worth in all going. word had got out that we were going so there was about 15 of us in the end which was lovely. We got there, scrambled down a path and along the river a bit and came to an amazing clear pool with a huge waterfall going into it. we spent about a couple of hours there, people jumped in from the cliff at the top. it really didnt look that high when looking from the groud. Lil went straight up and jumped off, he is scared of heights, but this year he said hes breaking off fears. others went up and jumped off while i was taking photos. The water was freezing. you couldnt swim in it cos you cant stay under, it was icy cold.
So people started leaving to go to some nearby hot springs, and then i decided i needed to jump, i dont know what i was thinking, i just thought i would regret it if i didnt, so me and ben climbed up the side of the cliff, which is steep and slippery. Got to the top and looked down. it was SOOO high. i turned round and said to ben i'll climb back down, but he said the only way down is to jump. it took me ages to work up the courage, i had to go to the river and splash cold water on myslef to get used to the water before i could jump. then i did it, mainly because it was so hard to climb back. if it were easier i wouldnt have jumped!! everyone cheered and said they were proud which was nice, but i was just grumply cos it hurt and i was cold.
we then couldnt find the hot springs, because they were futher than we thought. so we went home, aching all over, with a painful ear.
today-sunday im still aching, but mostly glad i jumped, but it was a once in a lifetime thing!
We went to church this morning, its lovely knowing people now, rather than walking into a big room not knowing any one. the worship was all holy spirit led and really peaceful and nice. then Kris vallotton spoke.
WOW what a talk. i wish everyone everwhere couldve heard it. he spoke on the kingdom at 1st.
points-
we come to church to get equipped , deployed.
Apostles transform cultures.
Jesus said he'll build the church and we should extend the kingdon. but we try and build the church and wonder who's extending the kindom.
All of the church is in the kindom, but not all of the kindom is in the church.
gathering people is not synonamous with transforming cultures.
You can tell how close you are to the palace by how you respond to injustice- Moses in egypt.
we are the answers to peoples problems/prayers.
- he went on to speak about abortion.....WOW. Try and listen to the podcast, or subscribe to ibethel tv. which you can get through the website.

tonight ive been sitting out with the kids from the block for a little bit and lils been catching up on his reading. Finshed 'The happy intercessor' by beni johnson. amazing book, worth a read, very insightful into prayer, if you get bored in prayer, or want to learn about breakthrough in prayer.
i have my hour prayer slot in 20 mins in which think i might do some painting.(beni talks about art in prayer in her book)

love you all. Blessings xxxxxxxxxx
