It was a rather odd time of praise and worship. Not used to our band I guess, but I thought their prac was better in terms of technicality. No I don't mean to criticize for no reason, but I truly think it was so and I would put it down to it being the first time the song was done. But on the more important plus side, the spiritual side it was a mega up. Not all the time, but where it mattered. Especially at the end when Alex ended it, I truly believe it was ended the right way :)

As for the main point of the post was Ps Bruce Hills sermon. In the car, I heard that it was about breaking free from the Fear of Man, and thought it was a good topic, but something I don't really need to deal with.

When he started preaching, it was something else. I totally loved his well prepared, well thought through sermon, no flakiness, good examples, great testimony at the end, wow! And the end where he said to think of one part that really spoke to me personally, I knew God had definitely, even if only for me, sent a Pastor from Australia (no coincidence), who knows people from Paradise Church (no coincidence) and preached clearly about not letting the challenges face me, but me facing my challenges (no coincidence) just after I talked to Roland about my fears of the unknown and unplanned in Adelaide.

So yes, I'm writing this to tell myself how faithful God is, how awesome Ps Bruce Hills is as a servant of God who spoke a definite word in season, and now, I'm having the faith to move onward with my exchange a new quiet confidence, not because the circumstances have changed, not even so much so that I myself have changed, and definitely not because God has changed, but because my perspective of my God has changed. Yup, I will say I left service NOT the same way I walked in.

To God be the glory!
