Filling the Gap

G’day! What a b-e-a-utiful day we are having in Toowoomba.  The sun is peaking out from behind the clouds and the air is a perfect 19 degrees Celsius (or 66* F) I love Sundays, I was able to sleep later and I definitely took advantage of it.  I did not want to move an inch when my alarm clock went off warning me breakfast is about to commence. It was one of those mornings where each blanket was perfectly placed. Ahhhh, perfection.

Last week was so eventful that I only wrote a fraction in my last blog.  So today… I want share more. 

     
Each morning after breakfast (Monday through Friday) we spend alone time with the Lord to do our personal devotions.  Following the quiet time, we do a range of different things (Base clean up, worship, prayer, small groups, etc.) depending on what day of the week it is.  On Wednesday's, we come together and do intercession.  Intercession is praying on the behalf of others.  For example, most recently we prayed for Israel as a nation.  It was so incredible.  Even though I have never been there nor do I know anyone there, God began to give me a heart for those living there.  The more I prayed for them to know Christ and submit their lives to Him, the more my heart ached for them.  Through this I learned that our God is amongst all the nations and He wants none to perish.  Having come to that conclusion, it has changed me to view all nationalities as God’s beloved. 

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28
