Focus
We drove into town at 2:30am Sunday morning. What a wild week we had. The kids where a little thrown off from there usual schedule but they did pretty well. Silver had a blast hanging out with the big boys (they gave him candy non stop) and trinity has so much fun with Sheri's dog (who's name is Bailey but Trinity called him Perry).
The worship which included dance, music, journaling, painting and drawing was GREAT! I was able to do things I have wanted to do for a long time. The worship leader, Chad Block was incredible. He totally understood the huge part dance has to play in worship. On the last night at one point the drummer prophesy over the musicians with his drums and then Chad called me up to prophesy over the dancers through dance. It was amazing. I am pretty much speechless about that.
It was weird to be thrown back into the world of full time ministry. I knew quite a few people from my time on LifeForce. I also met so many new people that had been on LifeForce or Street Invaders before. Working with so many personalities can be a major challenge for me, and it was.
God really blessed me this past week. He spoke to me about focus and pressing on. I am totally encouraged in my gifts and have a renewed passion and desire to see worship and creativity released in Gods people. Ryan and I got to work together which is always awesome. On the last night they have a commissioning service where every kid gets prayed for and anointed with oil. There where 9 prayer stations and Ryan and I where set up at one of them with Rachel Helm (wicked chick), and Scott Francis (good guy). It was a blast. We had someone watching our kids that night and we stayed out until the service was over which was at 3AM! My whole body was shaking from exhaustion.
Here are a few photos from the weekend. I will post more ina few week as I am receiving some from others who where there.
Lana and Jessica dancing and Rachel painting.
This girl came to me every night to borrow my flags. Finally I sent her on the stage, she was awesome!

Congratulate me, I'm the 2881st visitor to your page! Do you give door prizes? Speaking of visitors... What'r you guys doing on August 24 and 25? Cause I'm stopping over in Winnipeg from Wednessday afternoon to Thursday around noon, and I sure hope I'll get to see you, Ryan, and the kids! I can't find your number though; I know R gave it to me so I'm sure it's here somewhere. I'll call you when I find it.
