Says it all

I love the David Crowder Band, I love Jesus even more.

The Glory Of It All

At the start, He was there, He was there.
In the end, He’ll be there,He’ll be there
And after all, Our hands have wrought, He forgives

Oh, the glory of it all
Is He came here
For the rescue of us all
That we may live
For the glory of it all
Oh, the glory of it all

All is lost, Find Him there, Find Him there
After night, Dawn is there, Dawn is there
And after all, Falls apart, He repairs, He repairs

Oh, He is here
With redemption from the fall
That we may live
For the glory of it all
Oh, the glory of it all

After night
Comes a light
Dawn is here
Dawn is here
It’s a new day, a new day
Oh, everything will change
Things will never be the same
We will never be the same

Oh, everything will change
Things will never be the same
We will never be same

This is me, exactly where I'm at right now. The night has past, dawn is here, everything is about to change and I have no idea how, where or when all I know this that I am about to enter a really exciting new season in my life and I'm so excited, expectant and my heart is bursting full of all kinds of happiness for no good reason other than JESUS.

Passion in Sydney

Tuesday night I went to the Sydney stop of the Passion World tour. It was the last of 17 countries that Loius Gigilio, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, and team were visiting.

On the 5th June I attended the London stop. The London stop had been a pretty significant time for me as god was really beginning to wake me up about a lot of stuff again. I was planning and thinking about the next 6 months and where I would be and what I would be doing. At that point i had no idea that I would be in Sydney for the last stop of the tour.

I love university aged people, it is such an unbelievably exciting stage of life where you can dream huge and the world is your oyster so the Passion gatherings have been fantastic. Sydeny was no exception to this, to see Sydeny exhibition Centre filled with 8000 people desperate to see their city and their universities change was awsome.

but you know what? Sydney isn't home. it was great to pray for the city and being part of something so exciting but the same fire didn't rise in my heart like it did/ does when i'm praying for London. London has well and truly got a hold of my heart. So for all of you wondering whether I'll come back, don't worry I will be. I LOVE it here in Sydney but God has by no way finished with me and London yet.

Also I stayed for the whole David Crowder band set and I have to say I may have finally found a christian band that i'm not ashamed to admit liking!

from an email...

An excert from an email to a friend I love very much;

What I can say is that for the first time in a long time I am really happy and know for a fact that God has good things for me and that I want to share the gospel because its amazing and for no other reason. I also know that HE is the only one with strength and HE is the only one that can do it. That's not just something i'm saying but it's something I'm really beginning to believe. my God is able and that's not just a song or a nice idea - its the truth.

There's alot more to be done, i'm not even dreaming at the moment, i'm just falling deeper in to him and its not intense or stressful or because I feel I need to or should its because he's caught me up in His love all over again and is reminding me what my whole life is about, HIM. Not about dreams, visions , missions or passions its simply a love story. I dont have to do anything. My worth is found in the fact He loves me and nothing more, not in changing the world, not in changing Peckham not even in praying but just letting myself be loved and falling in love with Him all over again.

I'm getting there...

The death of my ipod

Two days ago my ipod started really playing up, yesterday i took it to the apple shop in Sydney and they said it's pretty much dead. I am so gutted. I sulked my way around the city centre yesterday venturing in to the odd record shop in order to try and fill the void in my heart with the odd cd. Typical that this had to happen while I'm on the other side of the world from my utterly amazing CD collection. To be honest everything is not lost though as i have my apple mac with me which has about 5% of my music collection so that something. I REALLY need to pull myself together. This is good for me.

Now I can buy CDs in Australia with slightly more purpose my current hit list is; Joan as Police woman "Survivor", Ida Maria "Pieces of my heart", Elbow "The seldom see kid" and Woodpigeon "Songbook". yesterday i found a lush little second hand music shop called 'red eye records', I wish there were more record stores like it in the UK. I bought a live John Butler Trio recording which I am enjoying immensely, man that guy can play guitar.

So a new ipod is top of my Christmas list, i'm actually really looking forward to taking about a week out of my life to upload all my Cds and reorganise everything whn i get home. What a loser!
