Because of Vicky

Today is a day of sadness.

As we sat through Vicky's funeral a whole concoction of emotions were running through me. Mainly just a deep sadness for what has happened. That Vicky was not going to see her kids grow up and get married; that she wasn't going to spend decades with Rob and that she wasn't going to get to do all that she wanted to.

Yes deep sadness is where we are at. I was also sad that we hadn't reached a place of seeing her healed. You see, we don't chase after the fullness of the Kingdom just for fun. We chase after it because of days like today; because we don't want to have to do this again.

And we are getting there, and Rob and Vicky are part of it. We are so thankful for her amazing life, but angry that it was stolen from her. Despite this, she is still victorious.

This only consolidates my determination to run the race like Vicky. People come to us to find the power of Jesus and i will not stop until they do, every time.


This poem is for Vicky, because we don't want it to happen again:


I will bend my mind
And bend hell under me

I will host heaven
And dispel the darkness away from me

I will see from heights
The truth that scripture writes for me

****

I will understand the angelic commission
And foresee the demonic remission

I will be a student of heaven
And a teacher of Kingdom

I will flow out of intimacy
And draw people into Him

****

I will repel the cobwebs
And paper walls

I will ponder the works of God
And not the falls

I will set the tragedies free
And not centre them around me

****

I will dream as if nothing were impossible
And pull fire from heroes unstoppable
I will run the race and receive the prize,
of Kingdom come and God glorified

Handling Dissapointment

There are many of us who have contended alongside Vicky for her healing. We know it was God's will for her to be healed and yet, tragically, her death on Saturday is a reality.

I am so impressed by the faith of Living Waters, of her leadership and their courage to not bend the promises of God under attack and circumstance. I am so proud of my church, Vicky and Rob. Heroes of the faith.

Love is so important right now in our church family and grief so needed.

These times can be scary for us who put our faith on the line for something and our dissapointed that we didn't see the breakthrough. It's so important to rest in God's love and security and keep our minds renewed on the truth. Let's not give way.

I, and many friends have found teaching on dissapointment by Bill really helpful for this. He has been there and I trust him. He does specific teaching on this which you can download from the bethel church store, but much of it is contained in the 4 sessions at the new wine's leadership conference held a month ago. the link to download it is below thanks to Woodies. Bless you guys x
