Me and Sam just got back from a “Glory and Grace” conference in Kent led by John and Carol Arnott from Toronto. It’s been an incredibly powerful and refreshing time. Just what I needed as we move closer to Mosaic Sheffield becoming a bigger reality! During the worship times I felt like I could have just stayed there forever. Sometines in worship in churches I can reach a kind of wall when the worship goes on a long time but I felt like I just basked in God’s presence. During praying and worshipping I got really clear pictures and visions of God’s plans for Sheffield and how I fit into them and felt so loved and envisioned. It made me remember that there was a time in my life where I made time to God and always had a note book writing down and weighing up what I felt God was saying. That time was before getting heavily involved in church leadership interestingly and worryingly!

There’s so much going on inside my head and my heart that I need to process it all and apply it in everyday life. I’m sure it’ll spill out here! Overall I came home with a passion for seeing the supernatural being more of a reality in my life, wanting to pursue intimacy with God and with a new desire to see God’s Kingdom come in Sheffield and in my workplace. I want what God wants done, done. We all need Him so so much and can forget that when we’re doing ok on our own.

There was a song that we sang this weekend which I loved:

My heart is captivated Lord, by You alone

Captured by the awesomeness of You alone

Melted by the grace and mercy You have shown

I stand in wonder

I reach to You the One who makes the blind eyes see

Who breaks the chains of sickness with authority

Restoring what was broken, so it may fly agian

I live to worship You

I breathe to worship You

All of my days, Your face I will seek

For as I worship You

You lead me to that place

To that place of Divine exchange

That’s where I want to be!
