its a new season


8.8.08
Today is the 8th of August. Often when I think about the number eight I am reminded that it signifies new beginnings. Over the last week or so I have been made aware  of some new things!! One of my great friends had her first child on the 1st of August. Wow... the miracle of a new life, made by God, truly for such a time as this. Its amazing to think about the whole concept of birth, new life, and how God creates it, but how he lets us be a part of his magnificent and mind blowing work.

 I was reading Psalm 8 this morning... " O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth.  Who have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouths of children and infants you have ordained strength because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the starts which you have ordained; what is man that you are mindful of him? and the son of man , that you visit him...... O Lord, our Lord how excellent is your name in al the earth.

I pray that today you will sense the newness of God, that you would allow him to birth something fresh inside of you. Maybe it will be a fresh desire to know God more, or a new vision and purpose for your life. It may just be something very small... but today have your eyes, ears, spirit, mind and heart open to the new thing God wants to do in you and in front of you.

Today I am heading to Queenstown for 10 days to be involved with the Christian Camping Conference. I am looking forward to being in one place for a decent amount of time. Over the last two months I have not been in one place more than 8 days.... God has sustained me amazingly, but i have to say i'm ready to rest for a bit..

Be blessed today..... keep seeking your heavenly father who loves you lots...
