FREEDOM'S CALLING...CAN YOU HEAR IT?

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

Last Summer in Redding there was one morning where I tagged along with the gang and attended the Worship U session. They started the mornings off with one hour of worship. It was incredible. The video below is the spontaneous song that two of their worship leaders started singing....in that moment my heart pounded as it started preparing for the moment that is about to come.

Freedom is calling.

Freedom Conference starts tonight and I am believing God for MIGHTY things. These past few months he has set me free from mindsets that I have had for almost my whole life...it's actually insane and I will share more with you soon...but I know his work isn't done yet, it's just beginning. He has called us to live a life of freedom. Why would we strive for anything else?

Freedom's calling, can you hear it?

If you live in Victoria, there is still time to sign up for conference...details and registration ---> here!

It's going to be a killer weekend, can't wait to share it all with you next week!

Hope you have a wonderful day, I'm off to get some conference nails...yaaaaa!

MY THANKSGIVING DECOR & TIPS ON HOSTING A BIG DINNER

With conference just a few days away it feels like Thanksgiving was aaaaaaggggeees ago but I thought I'd still share with you my table decor. Now I took these when the table wasn't quite set (some plates were still in the dishwasher) and it was too dark to take good pics when we finally sat down to eat but just imagine an incredible meal...mmmmm turkey

Now for the tips...

I'm no pro but this is what I learned:

• Try to get as much done the night (and nights) before. I spray painted the leaves two days before and worked on the names the night before. So glad I did, as they took forever!
• One of my friends suggested having appies out before the meal and that worked great. James made a massive board as you can see above and people did nibble on it while we waited for food to be ready.
• Do it potluck style because seriously, you do not need to kill yourself cooking a massive meal for 15 people.
• Try to save the cleaning for when the guests leave. Now we defs failed in this one we did a lot of cleaning during the meal and didn't get to sit and enjoy our family as much as I wanted to. As sucky as it would have been to be cleaning the kitchen till midnight, I'd take that if it meant more time laughing and chatting with family.

Those are my tips, but I know I could learn some from you! What are your tips for hosting a big dinner party?

To my pure delight, when perusing Facebook last night, I discovered MARCEL THE SHELL IS BACK! If you need a good chuckle and a smile, please watch the video. Marcel has this magical ability to give my heart a hug…and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way!

Hope this brightens your day.

SUNDAY STILL // 4

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
     He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
     He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
    for his name's sake.
 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
    I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Psalm 23
