Raising the Bar

Hi all,

How are you doing?

Just thought I might drop in to say hello to all of you and maybe share one thing or two about what I sense that God is doing in the midst of our preparation to go. Most of the things is probably something personal that God is challenging myself but for some reason I believe it will somehow relate to all of us...

Lately while praying and seeking God I really felt the impression that God is asking me to raise the bar to a new level. Just that word RAISING THE BAR keeps coming back. Well actually I kind of got some kind of shock not because I think I'm good already but I really felt the urgency to rise up.

I'm quite a straight forward person (most times ;op) and I think God is challenging me to raise the bar in some areas in my life: intimacy with Him and my relationship with Him, ministry skills in many ways: worship, speaking skills, language, knowledge about the world and the things around about me, knowledge about other churches there is in the body of Christ, health etc. So I'm currently trying to intentionally improve in some areas... It will take a while, I'm a very slow learner but hopefully I'm going in the right direction.

Another thing that I think all of us should really pray regarding Montreal is for PURPOSE. Yes we all know the general purpose and what we all need to do but I'm talking about special specific purpose that God Himself can lay in our hearts. This can only come through seeking Him and His will for our lives... So I hope and pray that each one of us are prepared to seek God individually to receive this purpose with conviction, Amen...


Your sister in Christ,
