New beginnings

So I wanted to start a blog about Worship. Here it is.  I know that I am going to have so much to say on the subject.  But First let me tell you about my trip to Bethel:


I can’t quite believe that I am going to America, let alone going to be submerged in worship for 2 weeks.  John 1st came up with the idea after being told by God to encourage me in my worship leading and song writing.  I said no on all counts.  The thought of leaving my children for that long and flying alone (which is one of my worse fears) filled me with dread.  I did pray about it and although God said I should go….. I still decided not to.  Then John was on my case and I decided to apply as I thought I would definitely not get in.  I was accepted.  :o  I then decided I still couldn’t go.  I was torn between knowing it would be an amazing experience and feeling guilty for taking some time away from my family.  Then only 2 days later a new mum at school came up to me (I did not know her) and told me she had a word for me.  It was a long word and was full of promises but the beginning of it made me physically shake.  She said that God is telling me to go…… on a long journey, much further than I wanted to go.  It was on an aeroplane to a place very far away to spend time submerged in worship.  She said that God was clear that I had to go. God was going to anoint me there for the things he has for me to do in worship when I get back. I was utterly gobsmacked.  God spoke to me.  To me.  Directly.  So here I am getting ready for a journey of a lifetime, excited and nervous, but I feel I am doing Gods will so he will look after me.
