WE'RE HERE! :D

first of, before I even start to talk about how much God blessed me through the conference, I want you to know how much God has blessed me today.
Mum said that my boss wanted to see me (me and my mum work at the same store), so I went to see him. And praise God, my boss wanted to increase my work-hours, which he had to take away from me in the start of September. It even includes two extra hours :D It's only two days a month, but it means the world! Glory to God!

Now, Hillsong Conference Europe highlights.
My first proud-of-story; Anna and I were wearing our "hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah" shirts the first day of the conference. We heard the Hillsong band rehearsing, so we wanted to take a peak through the stagedoor. As we were peaking someone grabbed my shoulder saying "I love your shirts!" I turn around, stare at the person for forever before I realise it's Bobbie Houston! She were crazy about our shirts, and stated to her hubbie Brian who were there to, "I just wanna tear their shirts off". It was so awesome, and a lovely way to kick off the conference.

The first evening was filled with awesome preaching by pastor Brian and awesome worship with Darlene and team. What's so awesome is how God freed me. The first night I felt so bound, so sort of unavailable to worship the King of Kings. But the next night, as Delirious held worship, I decided to just let go. And so I did, and as I laid it all before Him, He blessed me endlessly with a new perspective of worship and adoration. Something else awesome is this girl who gave me note after the first songs. She explained how she had seen the love for Christ through me and that I was a beautiful worshipper. My heart was so blessed!

There were some amazing sessions with the most amazing people! Christine Caine is so awesome! Stu G, oh wow. The entire crowd were totally silent as he spoke! Phil (&) Dooley, hilarious awesome! Bobbie Houston, speachless. The oldest teenage-girl ever! :D She is so sweeeeeeet! Zhenyah something.. :p Pastor of Hillsong Kiev. AWESOME dude! And of course pastor Brian Houston! :D

But the bestest (yeah) were none other than Darlene Zschech. Oh how God has blessed me through her. She led some amazing worship, preached a message I've never even thought of, and best. I got to tell her that I love her. :D
I got to meet her. Although Anna had to push me. I have this little shy girl inside of me, and she really came alive in that moment. So there I stood before the woman in my life as I like to call her, and I literally whispered, in a massive crowd all making conversations, "I was wondering if you could sign my book". She had to ask me to repeat, so I gathered all the courage in me and spoke with a bit louder voice. I got my book, got my picture, I told her what a blessing she is, and that I love her. I put my hand in her head as I said it, bit lame, but I didn't dare to hug her (regret that now, yes). And she told me I was beautiful. I cried afterwards, it was so amazing!

Other amazing blessings from God were all the people we met. Like Juan and Frank from Costa Rica, in the picture with Darls. We had heaps of fun. We met Adam and, um.. the other dude from Bristol, Tim from Australia, time-is-ticking-away-Anthony, the HILC dude from Switzerland, Tanya from India, that sweet lady with the pink t-shirt from England, and heaps of others. Even queuing was awesome! :D


My life was changed. No doubt about it.
My God is mighty to save (L) I love you!
