3 days to go, Dream BIG!!

with three day to go untill grapevine, i come home from work at 2.30 in the morning to see an amazing sight... the moon is bright and its illuminating the clouds, it just looks amazing, created by an everlasting father and an eternal God, a view that lasts a moment, Its there and then its gone in an instant, yet this creator God that I call father, this amazing person that I call friend and saviour chose to create this spectacle, he cares so much about the smallest thing. How much more does he care about us, Ephesians 3 vs 20 gives a fitting tribute "now to him who who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." so for those of us going to grapevine, and for those who aren't take some encouragement from this, the same God who dresses the fields with flowers tells us not to worry, he's able to do so much more that we can ask or imagine, believe it, he can do miracles. so with 3 days to i want to challenge those of us doing shake, believe he can do it "Because you're not yet taking God seriously," said Jesus. "The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, 'Move!' and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn't be able to tackle." Matthew 17v20, faith as small as a poppy seed can move mountains, we can see these young people changed for God, spoilt for the world, hungry after him Jesus put it bluntly "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it." So let God do it, he is able and willing to do immeasurably more than we can imagine, dream big

Number 10,

Right at this present moment I am having some well earned down time before work tonight, so I'm spending some of it watching South Africa vs New Zealand, anyway thats by the by. Grapevine is coming up in less than a week now and to say i can't wait is a massive understatement, I know theres lots to do before then but i really can't wait, its going to be mint, for the 5th year? (i think) in a row i'm helping out with Shake (the 12-14's) I love it, I Love having the opportunity to serve, to bless and be blessed. Before this i thought i'd share heart, what i feel God has been saying to me before the Journey.
As a Door Supervisor (bouncer) I see a lot of people i various states of inebriation and handling people is a massive part of my job, but also making sure people are paying to get into the club, this is the point i'm heading for. it was a few fridays ago when i was stood on the front door and some bloke offered to pay for the group, now at the time it was £3 to get in and there were 5 people in the group, this guy, without second thought turned around and said "i'll pay you in" now on first appearances this is nothing unusual, but the difference was this guy didnt know the four people behind him, he had never met them before, when they were told they had been payed in they looked confused, even more so when I had explained what had happened. Later on in the night, when it quietened off, this event came back to mind, I asked "how much more has God payed us in?" the man who gave everything so that we might live, we HAVE been payed in... not into some nightlcub in lancaster but into a place where we can meet with God, a place where we can have life and have it more abundantly. So whatever your doing over the next few weeks remember that God gave his Son so that you could spend your life with him, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends".
wait on him, thank him, make him famous
