It's September! A new season, new things, new opportunities, new ways to see God moving in the city. These last weeks have really been for digging into God. Discovering identity, intimacy, surrender, and so many other things. God has been showing me so many new sides of himself, of his character, his justice, his Father heart. One of the key verses for me in this time is Ezekiel 3:10 "Moreover, he said to me "Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.'" That it's not about hearing first, but about the time I spend opening my heart to God to receive from him. The thing about this month is I don't know what else to talk about other than God, to be honest. We are not doing anything lately except preparing for the outreach and the theatre production, and having teachings and track time. But God has just been moving so much. We have been learning about forgiveness, faith, grace, truth, rejection, authority, and too many other things that God really is bringing out of our lives. He is awakening things in each and every area of our lives right now, I almost feel like I can't catch up, but he still keeps showing us more of his goodness and faithfulness. I have my ticket to Puerto Rico! Which is just one miracle of many in the last months.
Also, it has been a dream of mine to open a cafe here in London, but obviously I have no idea how that will happen, but I know it is something from God. As a team, we have been praying about the cafe, as well as a tattoo shop, a clothing store, and a hairdressers. In the last months, God opened a door for me to be able to volunteer, and later work, in the cafe in East London. After a few weeks volunteering there, they were looking for someone to work on just the weekends, and they ended up hiring me! So I've been able to work on the weekends, take the Food and Hygiene course, and have barista training. The people I work with are so gracious, funny, and willing to teach me. It's such a miracle in my life, I still can't believe it sometimes. With it, God is really stretching me to depend on him, to be intentional in everything, and to be grateful in every moment. It's so easy to start complaining about having to go to work, or being called in on a day I wasn't supposed to work, when really it should be impossible for me to have this job, and a job that I love and is also supporting what we are moving towards with the YWAM ministry. I feel like I'm talking in circles, but I hope you all catch what I mean with this. I'm just overwhelmed with God.
These next few months we will be running with the theatre production, designing the scenery, writing scripts and music, practicing movement and percussion, and all the choreography possible. We leave at the beginning of December, and will be performing the show in different locations. The theme is about the fight we have with our logic in our mind. I know that God is going to take us all through this process personally before we are able to perform it, so it's going to be some crazy months coming.
things to pray for:
-an answer to prayer first: my ticket is paid for!!!!!
-a few others in the team are still waiting for the finances for the ticket and the outreach
