Wake, O sleeper; rise from the dead.

The students of the Conqueror Session have been officially intitated!
They have received their prophetic names, to symbolise gaining a new identity in their resurretion and how Christ will be teaching them to be more like Him this year.

Alberta Rakestraw is Redeemed
Carlye Morris is Impact
Courtney McLeod is Adorned
Jessica Walker is Captivated
Joshua Mills is The Lord's Arrow
Sally Beauglehole is Steadfast

Pray that these names would come to fruition this year, and that the students may continue living a life of dying to self and new life in Christ.
Hallelujah! Christ has conquered death!

Mouse mouse mouse in my house.

Something I've learned today:
I'm deathly afraid of mice.

Breathe easy, kid.

This was for a very dear friend of mine.
--------------------
There are not enough paintbrushes!
No colours or motion or movement
no mathematical equation!
No Earthly characteristic or personification
to describe to you my emotional position.
Like reaching into the tall darkness to find
some sign,
and pulling down a light I thought to describe
but watching it rendered, like ten thousand words before it,
meaningless.

So, darling, I am at a loss.
Like the sound an orchastra going
in and out of tune, waiting
for the end to finally break through!
For my tounge to be loosed and
my music come into harmonious tunes
that the angels themselves might take notice
and envy the sound.

But there isn't enough canvas for the paintings it would create
nohing not eternal that could contain a word to describe it
So I'll settle with
a poem that sounds like an eighth grade english project
and a hope that living to explain this love
changes me
revives
you.

eight lines

"love never fails"
you said it, I said it
did you think I would forget?

None of that matters now
because something went wrong
and now you're gone.

And there we were,
thinking love never failed.
