God's Love & Gary-Lee McKinney

Hi everyone:

Hope you're all well :-).... I wanna tell you all a secret; JESUS IS RISEN.
Okay well its not a secret, and it deffiantly the most amazing thing ever happened in history.

God has been really speaking to me this week (ever since Sunday morning at church: 23rd.) about Children, the lost children...who seriously need rescuing by their Daddy.
I have had so much confirmation that I am going to be going to the nations and helping children; and its great to know that in my future I am going to help change lives :-D
I LOVE Children, and they are defiantly a God send and it is so beautiful to see Children worshipping God knowing how much they are loved by the King of Kings!
AHHH I am so excited about the future and am so excited about this new chapter of my life :-D Praise Jesus!!!!!!!

I commited sacrilege by reading some of 'Death by love' by Mark Driscoll without finishing my book 'The Rescuse'- by Nicholas Sparks...But the first page was just amazing and I am really loving it, and it is truely an amazing book! and recommend it to anyone!!

Truely amazing :-)

Second part of this blog: is about Gary-Lee McKinney :-)
  • He is amazing :-). Hes gorgeous :-)
  • The first time I met him; I thought he was attractive and kinda, at the beach I thought he was thoughtful, loving, caring to everything, godly...
  • He was interested in who I was as a person & as a Christian, and was thoughtful as I was cold & he offereds his hoodie; even though we had known each other a few hours...and I hadn't implied to anyone I was cold.
  • After the 13th July 2009; he could not get out of my head...I told a few people that I liked him, I quite sadly showed a picture of him to my friends at prom (17th July 2009.) I had told Cat Evans when I went to CCK I think...the Sunday before Newday (26th July 2009.)
  • I really wanted to see him at Newday, and the first opportunity I had when Rosie wanted to find her church; and I got to see him...for like a few minutes though but it confirmed to me once again that I liked him.
  • After the meeting I hung out with Jon, Rosie, Gary-Lee, & Lauren in Global cafe...and we chatted, & chatted. They came back to our campsite and we still jsut talked and I felt so comfortable just talking to him and 'being myself.' I went to bed deffiantly him on my mind as well as also feeling like I had been forgiven by God for the sins I have commited :-).
  • The next morning in the dating seminar the two things I thought about were the actions of my Ex and Gary-Lee I had even seen him; but he hadn't seen me...and it really annoyed me!! In the evening meeting I had gone and responded to needing to forgive someone and as I'm not very good at talking about things I knew I needed to tell someone...and I saw Gary-Lee :-) and I suprisingly didn't feel ashamed that I was crying and showing I needed to forgive someone...we didn't talk about seeing each other but that didn't matter. And when we saw each other later it was really niice, and we spent a lil time alone :-) This is where I met Chloe and her friends...who are in Gary-Lee's youth group; and they were very cheeky.
  • WELL I decided to tell Chris Sanderson told Jon; well implied it and Jon put two & two together, telling Rosie later! We spent the afternoon at the Horsham church and kinda with him and I really enjoyed it; he also gave me his jacket and got told off by Jon...because Jon later said him; "oh Suzie's nice..." Which made him start to think :-) Rosie though had told me that Gary knew...which made me annoyed as I wouldn't have expected him to like me back...as until now no-one really has.
  • This was when the holy spirit made me drunk in the evening meeting; I was so filled with the Holy Spirit I couldn't even speak and was so not with it!! I went the time with the Horsham lot in the Global cafe again which was niice; and spent time alone with Gary...even though I wasn't with it! But I liked it; and I still liked him even more :-). THIS WAS A GOOD DAY.
  • I didn't not see him Wednesday :-( And really hated this; as he was truely and utterly plugged in my head!
  • Thursday...after lunch I went to the bookshop with Rosie & Chris...and started talking to Tim Windor-Brown about Mars Hill as he had spent time there and loved it :-) Then my sister arrived...and then Gary arrived with Jon which I was suprised about :-) but was verry happy about...therefore spent the afternoon with Gary, Jon, Rosie, my sister & Lauren for a bit :-). It was absolutly lovely...and my feelings for him were so strong for him by now...but i had a lot of disappointed thinking; well the next time I'll see him will be mobilise next year! Oh how I was wrong :-D thankfully. Just as the evening meeting was starting Rosie told me that Gary-Lee had said to Jon when he said he was going to Rosie's church to sit with that evening; that he said "when you come back bring Suzie & Rosie, in that order..." :-) so we spent the last evening together...they came to our campsite, and Gary and I walked together behind Rosie & Jon....We had Hot chocolate and they thought it was better than their campsites hot chocolate :-) He asked for my number and I gave it to him...and we said goodbye for the final night at Newday :-).
  • On the Friday He text me, on the Saturday he text me and facebook chatted, He invited me to go to West Wittering with his youth group :-D obviously I said yes!! So on the 13th August a month of liking him we saw each other....I spent a lot of time with him that day; but sadly we didn't stay as long as we both wanted to because people we tired :-(. It didn't matter because we were seeing each other the next Tuesday anyway (the 18th)
  • He kept on texting each other while he was on holiday in Irelandd :-)
  • And on the 18th August at West Beach on the side where you go crab fishing we spend about 4/5 hours together talking :-) we just talked and it was amazing; there got to a point in the conversation that we both knew each other liked each other :-)...at Sunset at 7:00pm...Gary-Lee McKinney asked me out :-) ...My Sister, My Mum,(who I texted), Rosie, Jon, Serena, Lydia, Nigel, & Cassey were the first to know as we were with them...And it was one of the best days of my life!! One to never forget :-

Saturday 8 August 2009

My identity is in Jesus Christ, he is my Lord and saviour; and I absolutly captivated at newday by his everlasting and steadfast love.

I have learnt so much about my identity this week; and who I am and who I am not! Jesus Christ Made me to be his daughter and I am fearfully & wonderfully made by him. So therefore I am beautiful because he made me in HIS image.

This newday he has revealed some of his plans for me...I'm going to Sydney, Africa & America at one point...but lets seeing wat he has in hold for my future husband...I never told you about 4 weeks I completely got over the guy I liked...I've started to get over him ever since he went out with his girlfriend but this is it- to the point I don't know why I liked himl; he seriously isn't the right guy for me, and we have pratically nothing in common!! BUT I like someone new; and we both seem to be going the same path....traveling and children (as in working with them.) and in livy Gibbs seminar I felt I was going to be a mother at some point!! Which is really exciting news!

See a lot happened at this newday!!...

My friend Jenny Burdett had two vision for me; which have changed me and helped, it involved my backbone, fear of man & God, Vine's and being sent to both here and abroad, now and then. Sam Mason has a prophecy for me about college next year, and Rachael campbell as a prophecy about me going to America!! AHHHH how exciting!! I was liturally drenched in his holy spirit to the point I was acting drunk and I couldn't speak!! AND IT WAS AMAZING, I was so 'chilled out' and at peace :) Which is such a wonderful place to be in.

I forgave a lot of people who have hurt me in my life, and from that evening I told a massive step forward. Rosie Jenkins prayed for me that Our enemy won't attact me as he has a tendancy to do so when I've just been filled with the Holy Spirit...and I told a leap of faith and told Jenny everything that was going on in my life, and bad stuff I've done; and she has also prayed for me :) ; where I made a decision to not listen to lies of our enemy because The giver of life is far greater!!

like Steph Liston said one of the evenings...Unfold yourself before God; which I actually love that phrase and think we should all 'unfold ourselves before God' and tell him everything that is going on! Because he loves to listen to us.

I also meet a guy; and he is wonderful, lovely, amazing, verry attractive, Godly, and hes been called by God to go traveling and to work with children!! Seriously I really like him :). I've only known him since the 13th July! But I do really miss him now, I liturally missed him on the last day I practically walked pasted him and didn't see him (though he was putting down the big top.) but yeah Corrr!! hahaha

There is so much more I have learnt this newday, stuff that I could not be put into words. But I do not think I am the person I was before newday....In a great way!!

many blessings
