One

One breath and every star is birthed
One blink and every galaxy formed
One word and there is light
You counted the stars and named each one
One insignificant person
Just a dot on the map
Yet you love me so much
Nothing we can do,
Will make you love us any less or more
Unconditional love.
We try to run but you wait for us,
With open arms and a loving embrace.
One God, One earth, One heart

consumeddedddd part 2!

Hokay so....FRICKEN SATURDAY WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! now that i got that out of my system i will tell you about it ! so in the morning, Matt and I did our skit which we did very well as we have been told on many occasions :P and i will try to get a video of it on here at another time.

But right after that it was worship and you would think that a bunch of kids running on 5 hours of sleep or less wouldnt be that into worship?? WRONG it was so powerful, and im so glad that all the Youth there pressed in so hard first thing in the morning. That is always a good sign for what is to come later in the day, but yea the worship was phenominal and it just gives me such joy to see so many youth just together praising God with such intensity. Pastor Ira did a phenominal Job of his sermon ...AGAIN. all the sessions were just so powerful and Holy spirit inspired it was so awesome.

Workshops! well i went to Politics in canada which was done very well my our very own Pastor Matt!!! he did such a great job of teaching how we as youth can do something to help out in politics and government, very very good. The second i went to was on evangelism which was done by Pastor Mike from the comox penticostle Also phenominal, teaching us how and what to do to tell people about Jesus!. But best of all the was the ministry time after the last session, like as Pastor Ben said the holy spirit was so so so so tangible, every one was crying and so many people were getting baptised in the holy spirit. ... in summary it went on for 2 hours and it was so GOOD!!!!!!

CONSUMED

So as most of you know we have an annual youth conference called Consumed at NorthGate. So this whole week in the up coming of it, i was so ridiculously excited and it started last night. As the people were fiulling in for registration i was just so pumped for what was going to come next. And what came next you ask? ....THE SERVICE, and you know sometimes on the first night of a camp or conference people dont press into God as much, well i am happy to inform you that they sure did press in.
The worship was phenominal and pastor Ira freekin amazing as usual, we ar eso bless that we have great speakers at Consumed like Ben and Ira, they are such amazing men of God and i thank you guys for coming down to speak for us.

Well its the start of Day 2 the BIG Saturday, and im so excited for whats to come with the Sessions, Workshops, Worship, Service project and all the other great amazing things that will come with consumed. You can expect another update post after all is said and done, if your lucky there might be a few poems to come out of this too :P

In Predicaments Path

Moments go by in life
Where we are so on fire for our Father.
Running towards him for a big embrace
We get struck down by obstacles
They shake our emotions, our faith
Wondering why these things happen to us
Crying out at God,
While we are still on the ground
As we are reminded,
That this is why we know God
Not just know about him
So that we can talk to the spirit
He gives us the strength to stand back up
Shake off the dust
Wipe our tears away
These things are out of our hands
And into his

Have you ever?

SO today was the leaders training meeting with Terry Jansen.. phenomenal man of God. So many of the things he said today were such a challenge to me and encouraged me oh so much. One of the things he said he does is go to the park by himself just to be alone with God, so i thought hey why not so after the meeting i just went and walked around the air park ..yea its pouring rain, but did Jesus ever give up because of a minor inconvenience the answer is NO!

As i was just walking around i was just talking to God heart to heart conversation, this was one of the most power things i have ever done. Just taking time to be with God and just talk to him is always a crazy ouch that just hit me like a ton of bricks time.

I noticed as i was walking and talking and worshipping at the same time ( yea i can multi task.. wanna fight about it :P) that on each bench there is a memorial to a person or a couple, and i started to wonder, Did they ever know God? Did some one ever talk to them about God?

Just thinking this caused my heart to ache for those that were never told about God or never had the opportunity to get to know him, and the crazy amount of youth in this valley that have never learned about God or who have walked away because a circumstance has shaken their faith because they only knew about him and didnt know him personally. So i challenege you guys to just get out of your way just to spend time with God cause he will put stuff on your heart. Maybe its scary what he wants you to do but i can garentee it that if you go through with it you will never regret that you obeyed!
