Rocker Carlz postin' tonight/this morning.

So, I've been going through old journals and writings and the exciting this is that I will be posting a lot of stuff on here shortly... for all who actually ready this !

As I said previously, I want to write more about yesterday... (Sunday)

I had the priviledge of hearing from Val Murphy in the morning at Cityside and then from Michael Murphy in the evening at Shire...

Val spoke about Refreshing your thinking... The biggest question was "What is the voice inside your head?" So many times we have the wrong voice inside our head... and we just need to stop and have "selah" moments... pause moments. Times to just be still before God. To hear the still small voice... or perhaps the announcement over the loud speaker.

There's something I'll post tomorrow about habit but something that really stood out to me was that practice doesn't make perfect, no one's perfect except God, but practice does make permanent. When you something enough time, there's a pattern that forms in your life. That's why runners always are practicing their starts, finishes and running style... doing it enough to improve and for everything to become so familiar that it's a part of who they are. I just think, how awesome is it that we have such an amazing capacity for growth and improvement... Can you imagine? If everyone would keep greeting the unfamiliar with a smile and a Godly determination/perserverance that surpasses what is expected of us. I love this concept that if we would continue to stretch ourselves daily, then that practice would become permanent and wow -- how awesome would that be ?! The mighty army of God would go from stength to strength to strength and I for one want to be at the forefront of that.

"Do not be conformed by the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" - Rom 12:2

There is so much more to say, but I'll leave that if you want to ask me...!

Then Michael at night was preaching about  Refreshing your influence. The 4 words to sum up what he was saying are, "Able, Exceedingly, Abundantly and Above" !  It was based on Eph 3:8,9,11,14,20,21. I love Ephesians 3.

I love that if we pick a time and a place, God will so be there !

Again, so much more to say,,, God is the ultimate designer ! Just ask me if you want to discuss further !

All I can say is that most definitely God has been teaching me stuff in the past week that He hasn't been able to teach me before due to my only giving 99% over to Him.

Am I making sense at this time of the morning? I hope so... maybe tomorrow I'll have to come back into this and edit it, but for now -- love to you all.
