How awesome is God?

That question of how awesome is God cannot be answered with mere words. As we were in Derby this past weekend were allowed to have a glimpse of the glory of praising, praying and relating to others in the Kingdom while convening with God. If that does not make sense lets say that we had a kick butt prayer meeting, incredible praise and worship and a sense of God's presence that was prevelant as we gathered. In addition to the prayer days we also stayed with our friends the Rooks, they have a 17 month old daughter named Molly who really took a liking to Rebecca, they hung out quite a bit together. If you are in Derby do visit them, they are then nicest people:) We attended a Kidz Klub gathering at a local school that a girl in the church started, it has been going 3 weeks, the first week there were 120 kids that came, it was a great time. On Saturday I attended the best conference I've been to on praise and worship. To sum it up the speaker asked "Where is our praise?" and then had a bunch of questions surrounding that about songwriting, prophecy, exaltation, etc... he was very provoking to say the least. I think that many of you have been praying for me, I had some wonderful emotional release with God during the closing songs, and feel renewed, rejuvenated and ready to go! So ya it as an impactful (word?) weekend, now we are studying the New Testament, so far it has been quite good, and I can't wait for the remainder of these 2 weeks so that I can learn more. By the way if this blog sounds all good it has been, don't assume that life here is just a bowl of cherries, there are some hard times and some trying times, but overall God's grace has been given to us. I promise there will be pictures soon on the blog, it has been a while. take care
