I have been learning recently about the importance of thankfulness. Everyone would agree that not being thankful for the gifts God has given us seems silly. Of course we are thankful when things go well, that's the easy part. When I get a good Tax return - I'm thankful for God's Provision. When He does a good work in my heart - I'm thankful for his Healing hand. When He blesses my friends with good gifts - I'm thankful for his Love. But when it's just an ordinary day, nothing new or exciting happening, nothing to shout from the rooftops about - what am I thankful for those days?

Personal devotion time has often been a struggle for me. Somehow in my head I could always find other things to do with my time in the morning that felt more urgent, like finishing up a homework assignment, or checking my facebook, or especially, sleeping. The few times in my life when I felt like I had the time to spare, the times consisted almost solely of reading the Word. Now, getting more into reading the Bible has been really exciting for me, and I can see God working that love in me! But it was the times of personal prayer that still scared me.

I have lived with a strong fear of failure. I have over-analyzed my actions; constantly wondering if I'm doing the right thing. (Is this right? Is this wrong? Should I be doing something else? Am I doing enough?) I asked God about it at the prayer vigil on Saturday as all these feelings and failures kept coming up in my mind. What I found was a lie: I will make a mistake and somehow lose my salvation.

For a lot of my walk with God, I've imagined a tightrope. I'm on it, balancing precariously, trying to carefully walk out what God has called me to. Each shaky step is a question: Am I giving enough to the poor? Am I serving my community? Have I practiced hospitality?

At the Living Free weekend, I was asking God to show me his love. I wanted to have a real experience of God's love. I wanted to know his love in my heart; not just in my head. I think I was expecting a crazy, one-time physical expression of God's love. Something that would sweep me off my feet.

I hate waiting. I like getting things done, checking off items on my to-do list, being productive. So I'm usually grumpy when I pick up my husband from work and have to wait for him to finish things up in the office. I anxiously check the clock every few minutes and think about all the other things I could be doing. However, a couple months ago...

There is an unorthodox church in Lethbridge that seems to hold what is advertised as a "prophetic" gathering or conference every year. It is advertized under the name "Revelation of Hope" with a large glossy mail-out poster.
