It’s 3.40am and I’m awake and sitting in the prayer room connected to the internet… sound is off, and I’m watching the live revival broadcast from Ignited Church in Florida, and their ‘Great Florida Healing Revival’ and it’s pretty sweet.

The odd thing… it’s a guy I know preaching. It’s so weird, many thousands of miles away… and I’m sitting here watching this live… oddness.

Travel plans… may they increase…

I applied to renew my passport a couple of days ago… my current one expires in a month, meaning that I can no longer travel on it anywhere. Most countries require at least six months validity.

The biggest news of my world lately is that come July, I’ll be finishing my staff commitment with Hope Centre in Lower Hutt. I’ll still be involved with running the prayer centre in some capacity, as well as serving in various ministries (e.g. tech team) that I do now, but I’ll no longer be involved with the internships and I will not have any official commitment to be there.

The current plan is to get a fulltime job for three months… and then head for the USA. I’m going to spend a few weeks in Oregon – each year we send a team of 10 young adults over from Hope Centre to help run a conference – so I’ll be there ahead of that, and for that. I also plan to spend a few weeks at IHOP in Kansas City… catching up with friends that have moved there recently, and spending some decent time doing the nightwatch. Depending on how time and finances are, I also hope to make a couple of side trips to visit other people from DTS… so we’ll see what happens.

Post-USA… I don’t know. My life is open, and I don’t know where I’m going. It’s exciting… it’s also frustrating… but I’m going to continue to set myself before the Lord… and get into the nations.

It’s over!

I just finished a 21 day fast.

So much for all that I read on breaking it well… I commenced eating with a Starbucks hot chocolate, and some homemade pizza. A couple of hours later I’m feeling okay (pizza was some plain bases, sausage, cheese and tomato… everything I was told a week to wait to re-introduce.) Hope I didn’t mess my body up bigtime.

The next few days are definitely going to be healthy eating days – lots of fruit, veges, and starting to go to the gym and exercise again… building up, slowly, with wisdom.
