Jubilee
That’s the word I am using to describe the day!
AHH!!!
Before you read this I want you to turn up the volume on your computer…and listen to the first song (segment) on my playlist up there. (sadly i can't get the full version up...but you get the gist right?)
All right- you listened to it?!!!
Well, my friends that was the song that I was awakened to this glorious day in march!! Oh yes. The day of the HP Global missions workshop.
Most of you know I have a HUGE, GINORMOUS ISSUE with waking up in the mornings, but God helped me get PUMPED UP today! My ipod doc gradually increased in volume and this song echoed in my ears. I popped out of my cozy little bed and ran over to the map of the world hanging on my wall…
Catch the visual. Me jumping around my room and singing this song to the world (map)!!!
We’ll shout it out loud from the rooftops!
We won’t be quiet!
We’ve fallen for ya hard and we can’t stop!
We can’t deny it!!!
What a way to kick off this beautiful day! I love days that start off like that. Just a good mind set from the get go!
So then, Leah picked me up and we got some starbucks. And as we were leaving I told her about my song of the day. But then she told me that she had another amazing song she had been waiting to listen to until I was with her.
Guess what song it was?!!!!!
C’mon. Go old school with me. (click the second song on the playlist now!!!;)
AHHH!!! Favorite. Favorite. Favorite!
As you can imagine the rest of my day was just pure joy! I felt like I was a little kid in Disney world!!! (Remember that that is simply an analogy. Kid’s are fans of Disney world though I am not!)
But yes, it was a phenomenal day..
We got to come together just to worship God for who He is and to thank Him for what He is letting us be part of. And we got to hear from our leaders’ hearts. So much wisdom was shared today!
The teams are AMAZING!!!
Last night I got to hang with Tweeze and Jen while they called all the Refuge kids and told them which trips they were getting to go on! I felt like I was at the hospital waiting for a baby to be born.
Just waiting expectantly for the people to stinking pick up there phones! And then all of the excitement and celebration when they finally did!!!
THEN this morning, I actually got to tell one of the girls she was going to Africa! That made my day!!!
AHHH!!! And Refuge isn’t just going to Swaziland- they’re going to Mexico and to Camp Barnabas! How awesome is that?!!! And then, throughout HPC, there’s Dominican Republic, India, Honduras, Mozambique, Danville CA, the LA Dream Center,…! (I’m totally lumping this in with those places, too-) TANZANIA!!!
:)
WOW! God is so absolutely amazing!!
And one more song of the day for me… the whole thing is amazing. but especially at about 4:40min. (yet again...i can only get a segmented version of it. but just so you know what song i'm talking about click on #3 on the playlist)
The whole world’s about to change. (that's the words he sings at 4:40)
Picture yourself- not necessarily out there changing the entire world. Just bam there it is. But picture yourself holding a little AIDS orphan singing this song to him. Almost as a lullaby. The whole worlds about to change. Your whole worlds about to change.
Today, the word hope was used a lot. The word hope- if you think about it- really does equate to Jesus. They can’t be referred to as the hopeless ones anymore-not the Jesus-less. (thoughts from Mrs. Sherrie May today)
Oh! What a huge thing this is. How many lives are morphing, molding, growing, changing, expanding, stretching, healing, craving, grasping, opening, feeling, sensing,…just think about the number of lives being effected through missions this year.
The natives- their eternities being effected, their wounds being healed, their loneliness being cast aside, their aches and pains being turned to joy and life!
The missionaries on the ground- being encouraged and blessed, sharing their wisdom, maybe shedding light on the callings and burdens of the team members.
The people going on the teams- maybe discovering their futures, discovering passions, learning the importance of unity, being stretched, gaining an openness of heart- a world view.
The ones supporting- giving their time and effort to change the lives of those they may never even meet, huge faith!, the selflessness, the sacrifices, again- the world views!
Just think for a second about how many actual lives are being/going to be changed forever because of HP Go Global. (and not even just HPC- think about it outside of that even!)
God is nuts!!!
Pure jubilee!!!
(P.S. about the 4th song on the playlist- sorry. Just couldn’t bring myself to take Alanis off yet. What can I say? Enjoy the irony of it.)
