After and such

Much has been going on these last two weeks since getting back from Edinburgh. We jumped right back into to normal schedule, with group Celtic prayers, lectures, work projects, intercession, and the like, but then also we had to prep for VBS that we did this whole last week in the evenings. So, we’d have normal schedule in the days, but then we’d go to do VBS at night! It was a great full week; I was in charge of the story time or rather “Bible Voyage Adventure” it was a lot of fun, though quite a bit of work. The kids were great, the week I believe was successful and God will and is doing amazing work in these kids’ lives. It is almost scary how quickly kids pick up things and remember! It makes one stop and think what one says, because they sure are listening, watching, and ready to do it to.
Lectures have been stupendous. Last week was on Identity, Destiny and Calling. AWESOME! Here is a basic for you; God made you. He loves you for you. He likes us. I’m not just talking about looks, but about your personality, your talents, your skills, abilities, passions, desires, hopes, dreams. He’s given us all distinct and unique callings. I whole heartedly believe that I’m called to be very non-traditional. To expect the unexpected with my life and to sit back and enjoy the ride with God walking right along with me! I know this seems basic, but perhaps remind yourself. Or, perhaps really stop and think about it a moment and determine if you have been living your life, operating your decisions or how you think of yourself or what you are capable of by having this mentality. That you are special and important and not just another human being on this huge planet. But you. Me. Are vital. Walk in it. Be bold in it. Delight in it. I’m not a mistake and He has a calling for me, the first one being walk with Him and listen to His heart beat…for me (you)! There is so much more that I could say that I learned and took from this week, but instead I quickly mention this week’s lecture which was equally as brilliant it was called “Plumb line”. Talking about what have you allowed to build your wall, and how vital it is to allow God to be my plumb line because on how it can affect all aspects of my life if I don’t have the right wall built and in the right way.
A week ago today I became an Aunt for the third time however I have a nephew now! Myles Alan Wicks. 8ilbs 9oz 20 inches! He is so very handsome! I got to meet him today on Skype and I’m in love. What a miracle. What magic it is to see such a little bundle and fall so in love with him! Amy is doing well and his older sisters are loving being big sisters.
Today, I’m leaving for Iona with just my DTS team and leaders. Iona is where the Celtic Christians came from, there was/is a monastery there where they sent many missionary monks into the nation: it is the birthplace Christianity for this nation. We are all very excited. We will be having lecture there (on Spiritual Warfare), we will be having a day of Solitude (which I’m very excited about) and then just resting and getting to process, which there is plenty to do of that with all the last couple of weeks and three months. Can you believe that it has already been three months!? I can’t. Oh, so good. What an amazing three months it has already been and I get another three more!
I can’t wait to report back to you some of my adventures and encounters with God while I’m there. Keep me and the team in your prayers not just for safe travel and health, but also that God would truly work in my heart and in the hearts of my team mates. That He would renew us body, mind, and soul and that He would cultivate in our hearts and lives the key things that He needs us to get and develop! Also, for revelation and direction for our(my) past, present, and future! I love you all!
