IT'S COMING

I am so excited! We are bringing Global Day of Prayer to Saskatoon!!! Well by we I mean ~99% Dan King ~1% others.

It's going to be so great I can't wait! May 27th if any of you are interested in coming to the "land of the living skies." The more the merrier

I am really excited but at the same time...

I was a really disappointed when our prayer group decided that we were not going to host 10 days of prayer. I was really looking forward to it. I love anything that brings people from different backgrounds and churches together. I have also been wanting to do another 24-7 week for so long so the idea of pairing it with GDOP seemed perfect to me. But alas it's not going to happen.

It was the weirdest thing. Usually I am the one who says "Hold on guys..." or "Can we really do this?" It was totally the other way around this time. I was ready to jump in with both feet and blindfolded, but most everyone was saying "I don't think this is a good idea."

I felt like the whole world had turned upside down. It took about a day for me to actually accept what had happened. Since monday I have been in this place where I feel like everything is foreign to me, even myself. I was really doubting whether I was capable of hearing the voice of God. If they say God is telling them "No" then why am I not hearing "No" too? It's hard to explain how I have been feeling, it may seem a little over dramatic, sorry. Imagine everyone around you has suddenly become like you, and then you have become the complete opposite of you and you didn't even know it.

I have struggled to express how I feel and so I have struggled to work it through with God.

It's like you've been waiting in line at an ice cream parlor anticipating a big ol' scoop of cookies 'n' cream. You get your waffle cone and take a good look at what you are about to indulge in. Then someone bumps you, the ice cream falls of your cone and splatters on the sidewalk. All you can do is stare at what might have been, wanting to cry but not wanting to make a scene in public. You look back and the store has closed, not to be reopened until next year. You still have the waffle cone, which is pretty tasty in and of itself but it is just not the same without the ice cream.


Don't dismay! I have worked it out with God! For the most part. Now I must be off to bed where I will be dreaming of the Marble Slab, yummy! The second installment of this little journey will come tomorrow!
