When the End is Just the Beginning

When something comes to an end, there's often sadness that comes along with it. This afternoon was the end of the first session of AZ School of the Supernatural. It feels a little weird, knowing it's over, but I'm excited because there's so much more ahead.

The past 12 weeks have been life changing. Yes, it's been a bit of a sacrifice to spend every Fri. evening & Sat. afteroon going to school - well, except for the two weekends we missed due to SOZO trainings. But the benefits outweigh the sacrifice.

Reflecting on the benefits:

• Lots of new friends
• Found an amazing new church (unplanned side benefit)
• Met some amazing revivalists from Bethel Church, or who came through Bethel, or who just plain like Bethel
• Got to house some of these people overnight in our home
• Got to host some of them lead meetings in our home while they were in town
• Had some fabulous soaking encounters. Worship just kept getting better and better. As I laid on the floor soaking this afternoon, I thought of how I love it when the worship leader just has to sit or stand up front and worship -- and we all do the same.
• Received some powerful activation from these risk takers
• Heard some thought provoking and motivating preaching
• Healed from dizziness -- still declaring that one as it keeps trying to come back (not gonna lie to ya about that. 2 Facts: #1 I was healed. #2 It keeps trying to come back.)
• Laughed, laughed and laughed some more
• Fun fire tunnels
• Felt His Presence - and there's NEVER a substitution for that

Reflecting on the sacrifices:

• On second thought, there really isn't anything important enough to list

Look out Arizona -- ASSM has only just begun. Along with other amazing and powerful revivalists from various streams, Arizona is getting rocked!!!

Waiting for the summer session to begin in just three weeks!!
