Hi guys... just stealing some wireless hotspot, reading through the notes and posts the last few days. Its encouraging to hear your hearts.

My prayer room for the last few days has been on a cool beach, looking over the even cooler water of Lake Huron. Its crazy that, though seperated by a couple thousand miles, my Spirit feels so connected with what God is doing in Vancouver. I feel so blessed by your heart to embrace what this is that the SPIRIT is doing in this generation. I continue to encounter so many church folks that just don't get it. That's fine though - bless them in what they are doing. But it is just nice to know that some people do get it - or at least are willing to try and get it.

As I look out over the water, my heart stirs again and again with the water of God - the water of life. He has so much abundance. So much that he is wanting to pour out onto our little spiritual desert called Vancouver. As he does... life will flourish. Real life. His life. To borrow again from Vanmorrison:
Oh, the water!
Oh, the water!
Oh, the water!
Let ir run all over me.

Come Lord.

One thing further: I had a chat with a friend who was in the prayer room the other day. He made an interesting comment. He talked about how much we are in there longing for breakthrough, longing for the next thing, and all the while we are failing to recognize the breakthrough we are presently experiencing. The breakthrough of prayer. The breakthrough of just being with Jesus. As we pray, I think we should not forget this. The praying itself is a breakthrough. The fact that we have been praing is a breakthrough. And in this breakthrough we must not forget what the chief joy of it all is...

for an hour, every day, we get to be with Jesus.

Looks like the week ahaed has a whole bunch of openings. particulalry in the morning slots. Will you come and be with jesus? Experience that breakthrough at 2 am. I really am discovering again that I don't want to breakthrough into anything more then him and living for him.

for sure a breakthrough.

the praying is definitely a breakthrough for me!
[oh, that sounds embarrassing to admit, now that i've typed it]

last week i was talking to some friends, encouraging them to come to the prayer room with me any time i'm signed up, and telling them i would go with them any time if they want someone to go with. and i realized how amazing that is :: just that i am so longing to pray and be in the prayer room and how a month ago, it would have been a stretch for me to pray for an hour in a month! [again, embarrassed]
last weekend i was in there for two hours on a saturday morning and i felt like two hours was not enough!!

God is so good; i feel like there is so much praying/listening to do and i just want to be with Jesus, in that room, loving him & being loved by him. i feel that there is so much to hear from him and learn from him and just to know him more so that i can live and love the way he wants me to.

i am so eager for more of Jesus :)

Hmmm....

This is the kinda comment that makes everything, every labour, every effort, so worth it. Keep going Kristi.
