Fancy That!

Jared and I had to stay home from church this morning because he started vomitting, but we had our own church up in here! My new favorite TV is GTV directTV channel 355 GodTV. We watched the Hillsong Conference Friday night airing of TD Jakes. His message was so meaty and spoke directly to me. He said that he feels as if God's word right now for the church is to express their creativity. God didn't give us a chair of a pencil he gave us trees. He wanted us to experience the pleasure of using our creativity just like He did when He created the earth. He put inside of us a seed in our bellies to be creative. He talked about seasons of our lives and time as it is running out. Jakes' mom wanted for him to learn to count to 100 which was difficult for him as a child. He says she pushed him constantly. As he counts he starts on the floor 1,2,3-10, then steps up one level 10,11,12-20, then steps up another level, 21,22,23,24,25. . . he says the thing that stops people from going on to the next level the next new thing is the fact that they have to start back at one again, 21, 31, 41, I felt that way when I started playing tennis this year. I wasn't the best at it, but I allowed myself to not give up and keep practicing. I found it got alot of stress out. I haven't heard TD Jakes in a while, but he sure is full of fun and speaks from the heart.

I looked ahead on God TV and there's more from the Hillsong Conference taped in July 2007. The next speaker is Ed Young. He's so great, and a cool man's man type preacher. My husband and I have watched him in SS class speak on marriage. He uses illustrations and makes funny sounds in the mic during his messages. He'll have me laughing that's for sure.

The coolest thing I'm looking for is hearing John Paul Jackson speak on Sat. from the Clan Conference in Scotland. I never get to see John Paul on tv much because he is very selective about his appearances. His ministry is Streams Ministries where he teaches on using symbols from the bible to interpret dreams. He has a series of courses designed to mentor people in this area. I've taken all the courses, and I do pretty good at figuring out my dreams' meanings. John Paul is one of those men with a Pastor's heart. You can just look into his big blue eyes and see God's eyes. His wavy white hair gives me the feeling that it's a reflection of how handsome God is to see in person. Maybe Moses has hair like that.
