Yesterday morning when I turned on my Macbook, I got a picture of a file with a question mark in it and it was blinking. It was not good news for Chrissy! My computer has been telling me for a while that my "start up disk" is almost full and yesterday when I saw that picture I knew I had maxed up my hard drive! So I called Apple but they told me I needed to go to a store, there was nothing I could do on my own. Unfortunately the nearest Apple Store is in London. Ugh! That's an hour from Colchester by train. So this morning I headed into London with my macbook.
Now what was so wonderful about this trip waa that I got to read this book called "The Forgotten Ways" by Alan Hirsch. Dave and Janie asked me to read the first part of it. The book is about church planting and it takes a look at two of the greatest Apostolic movements in history - The early church and the church in China and how they have impacted the world. The question is then asked "How did they do it?" And that's just a slice of what this book is about.
It excites me because that's what I want to be a part of. I want to be a part of a movement. And I believe I already am and I'm just now hitting the tip of the iceburg here in England.
God's been doing some really cool stuff in me lately. He's been stretching me and teaching me. It's almost like an internal thing, because sometimes I dont even know what he's doing but I get these feeling in the pit of my stomach. It gets so strong that I literally want to vomit. It's not that I'm scared, it's that I'm excited and I know I'm in this great waiting time. I'm in this waiting time for what the next chapter of my life is and I don't know what is and I dont know the people that will be in that chapter, but I know it's coming soon! I can smell it in the air, I can smell the waiting in the air, it's crazy. But as I'm waiting for whatever this is, I'm learning and I'm growing and doing so much.
So anyway, my trip to London was not an eventful one, I didn't see any sights or have a day off. I got my computer fixed and went back home. But the exciting part was what I learned today thru my reading and what God is springing up in me.
I'm being inspired continuously and growing passionately for people..... for church....... for a movement!
