An amazing day!

WOW! How do I even begin to describe the incredible day I had in the presence of my God? 

ACOM Personal Formation- Group Catch Up

It was 8:45 when we arrived at the little waterside town of Tahlee, a historical place full of facts & beauty. My first bit of entertainment was playing the "Let's count the wallabies" game.... (total of 8 FYI) but anyway... our group arrived and as our facilitator started us off the day... he introduced the theme of 'Spiritual Growth' for the day with 3 minor themes.

1. Be still and know that I am God  2. God in surprising places and 3. God in question.

For each theme we went away by ourselves with little tasks for each one, but mainly to meditate and just focus on God. I could write 5 blogs on the whole day but i'll just share my first session.

To begin with.... Psalm 46:10 - "Be still and know that I am God" is a funnily enough a verse I've been focusing on for the last few weeks specifically, so I should almost have expected God to bring it up today but ...I was still shocked?!

So I start out walking down this path so excited for what the next hour would hold, I have this massive smile on my face I can't remove, I look up and all around there is the tallest bamboo I have EVER seen swaying gently with the sea breeze. The best part was the cracking sound it made as it moved back and forth- just glorious... you had to be there!

I keep walking down this path continually having my breath taken away at the beauty and majesty God is laying out in front of me. I come across this wooden open boat shed and as I walk around the side, see this wooden seat out on the water at the end of a jetty as if it was made and put there just for me!

In light of my last blog- I truly fell in love with my First love all over again and in a completely new way. I have never felt soo romanced and like a daughter of the King freely playing with her Daddy all at the same time. I felt soo free and full of joy. 

As I sat there and was still, I meditated on each word of the verse- such a small verse but oh so powerful! I focused on knowing God as my first love, and as the wind almost blew me off the chair and into the water behind me He reminded me of His power! The waves hit the wall and splashed me on the face again and again and I thought of God's playful nature and sense of humour. Whilst I sat still, God's creation was forever moving around me yet He became still in order that we may have an intimate moment together!

I am so IN love with you God! Thanks for an incredible day x
