I had a great weekend. Saturday we took a trip to the Australia Zoo where I saw koala bears, a tiger show, a crocodile show led by Steve Irwin's wife and daughter, tazmanian devils, elephants, and many more. But my favorite part of the zoo was definitely spending time in "Roo Heaven" which was basically a giant playground for kangaroos and wallabies. I got to lay down and spoon with them! It was a great time but I quickly realized that I don't have the energy I once had as a kid- I was exhausted by 3 and fell asleep on the way home like a baby.
This week the subject we have been studying is "the father heart of God" and our speaker is Ray McConnell who has been a missionary with his wife in Thailand for the past 10 years. The first couple days were really insightful and base worship on monday is always an intimate time with God, but it wasn't until yesterday that I really began to glimpse God's father heart and just how much He loves each one of us! We read 1 John 4 and focused on verses 13-19. I've been a Christian for awhile now so I have a decent amount of head knowledge when it comes to my faith. Everything changes when you can begin to know the heart of God let me tell you! It doesnt matter how much I've heard about him-all He wants is a deep, intimate, personal relationship with me so that I can truly know him.
Anyway, Ray is awesome and yesterday he gave us a project which is due in an hour. We all pulled names from a bag and our job is to bless that person with some sort of gift. I wish I was more creative!! O well- a letter it shall be. Miss you all. got to run. I posted a couple pictures on the right side of the blog- I'm learning!
1 John 4:19
Theme song for this week: Kim Walker- "How He Loves Us"
