Get your feet wet!
I’ve been thinking about what it means to be led by the Spirit and the phrase “riding the waves…” 
I went to Elora Gorge a few weekends ago and realized that in order to have fun and join what everyone else was doing, I had to take off my sandals and get my feet wet. I couldn’t just stay on a rock and expect to enjoy my time there. 
This past weekend we went to Wasaga beach. I was feeling a bit sick but decided to still swim. The waves weren’t crazy or anything, but as we went deeper, my cousin was a bit nervous because they got kind of high at one point. I had this revelation that if I want to ride God’s waves and follow what He’s doing and where He’s going, then I have to stay calm and just go with it. You don’t know what each wave will be like, how high or how mellow it’ll be. We’re not supposed to know or understand everything. But it can be pretty exciting when you stay calm, jump when you need to, and trust that you’re not going to drown.

Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

John 5:19

I was so blessed at service yesterday… the presence of God, the Word of God, the life of Jesus - it was just flowing! I wouldn’t have imagined coming back and seeing God shift my church in the way He’s been doing so! Hallelujah, He’s doing a new thing :) 

shift into the spirit

Pastor Erin from today’s message at NPC Itaewon.

(to be continued… tomorrow! So much revelation and being set free from things that lasted years of my life. God really does bring one from glory to glory, I’m not meant to stay in the same place forever.) 

justice.

i have a tattoo on my back that says: justice 
i got inked in… october 2010? God reminded me today that as i’m seeking, learning, understanding, seeing more of what justice means that it’s much more than just studying it or having it tattooed on my back. He’s taking me to deeper levels of what justice means and what it looks like, way beyond what i thought even last year.

tonight through pastor james and being in the presence of God, new revelations came regarding JUSTICE. in the past few years i’ve mixed a lot of political and moral and ethical jargon with my understanding of justice and limited it to certain things. but God’s heart for justice is just… crazy! When He sees His people in hurt and in need, right away that’s injustice. i can’t just box in justice to mean a particular issue or a certain geographic location or demographic of people. 

time to reflect, meditate, and keep pursuing this. 

Learn to do right; seek justice. 
   Defend the oppressed. 
Take up the cause of the fatherless; 
   plead the case of the widow. (Isaiah 1:17)
