Today has been another very tiring day, We kicked off the morning with staff worship, which was very cool! Which then after a house meeting lead into staff lunch, which was a great chance to just prepare for the week with other fellow colleagues and enjoy fellowship together.
I have really enjoyed getting to know the staff here, they always all have so much time to talk, and so much to talk about! Had a good laugh over dinner, which was cooked by the legendary ‘Jules’ Who is the church chef, he is pretty awesome! He made possibly the best brownies i have ever tasted today!! So that was a lovely treat!
This afternoon we had a session with Charlie Cleverly, which was entitled ‘The Discipline of Intimacy’ which was very good. He also gave us his book, titled the same, which as my first piece of homework i must write a book review on, which i am very much looking forward to!
Over the past couple of days i don’t think i have ever been so inspired to just want to go and just indulge myself in the word of God. Yesterday we were studying psalm 119. So often we look for miraculous signs from God in the clouds and through obscure ways, forgetting that he has made it so easy for us and written down page after page of truth and help, yet we look straight past it!! And i have just been challenged very much, how can we say we believe something, but not bother to spend all the time we can learning as much as we can!
So much of the bible, if you take the time to look, actually makes so much sense! It all fits together, like a jigsaw, but 3D!
I was going to end this blog here, but i must tell you about tonight! First of all we had an awesome meal, Jill and Minela cooked up a treat for us all! It was like full on chicken, potatoes, broccoli, oh yeh! Heres a sneaky photo! And this was only half of it!
But yeh, we had a couple of guests round tonight, 3 in fact. One by the name of ‘Jeremy Moses’ Which means, he could be nothing but cool! And basically these guys are awesome, and they run a thing called Word On The Street, which basically means they go out into the center of Oxford, and worship through song. And this is something i hope to get involved in and things! Which will be cool. But yeh, we had a time of prayer and worship for this event which turned out to be awesome. The prescence of God just in the room upstairs was just so there, and it was just so cool to all come together, all with one dream, to glorify God.
One of the guys is actually a rapper, and an extremely good one at that! He rapped one of his songs, and man it was insane, Just so passionate, and actually good!! So that was really fresh to hear n stuff, so yeh really looking forward to getting out there and hopefully opening peoples eyes!
A beautiful meal, and a rapper
