It has been a month!

It has been a month since I last posted and several things have happened since. Just an update:
1. I applied and got into Hillsong Leadership College, Pastoral Leadership. I'll be enroling and going to Orientation next week! It's very exciting! I'm hoping to learn more about the ministry, about God and myself and having fun and making new networks, friends.
2. I've been very pre-occupied with work. I've been lots and lots of hours just to save up for when I start College and may not have work. So because of work I've been very tired. I'm feeling like I need a change so College is starting at a right time for me.
3. I haven't been working on my children's book as much as I've hoped. I'm wanting to get back at it this week as work is slowing down.
4. I've been working alot because I want to save up for a couple of trips this year: my cousin's wedding in Bali at the end of the year and also a surprise for my mum who is turning 50! My dad and I have been thinking of taking her interstate but this depends on what my college timetable.
5. As always I started the new year at church, in my Father's house and in prayer. This is my prayer for 2011:
I bartered with God. I bartered my old self for the person God wants me to be and who He designed me to be. I lay myself down at His feet. I exchange all my desires for His desires. I exchange all my dreams for His dreams. I exchange my goals for His goals. I exchange my will for His will. I exchange my heart for His heart. My only want for 2011 is His will and His heart. May this new year produce quality eagles that soar above and beyond in pursuit of God's destiny and Revayah!! I am 'baby eagles in waiting!' As 2011's theme at church is "Soaring with Wings like an Eagle" I took this on board personally where my desire is to become an eagle that soar above and beyond this year.
6. I'm currently fasting with my local church until the 30th January. We're fasting for a spiritual breakthrough for 2011. And like previous years when I'm fasting God impresses more of His Spirit and vision in my heart. So this year His vision was:
On 12th January 2011, my 3rd day of fasting and I was on my way to work in Paddington and on the bus God impressed in me and gave me this 'vision' of me walking towards something like a light, I don't know what it is exactly but it's like God is telling me in 2011 I will walk with a "blindfold" which the Holy Spirit is tying which means for total faith and obedience in God because I cannot see. And the Holy Spirit is on my right, left, front and behind me as I walk ahead into 'something of 2011'. And it's not darkness ahead of me but light, bright but nothing else. And God impressed in me that God's voice will lead my every step and that He is in front, He is already at the 'destination point' waiting for me to get there. I must learn to walk in faith, obedience and surrenderance. I may not know everything of God's plan but I know He is there waiting for me and that is enough for me to walk ahead. I'm not walking into 'death' but into 'life' in 2011.
7. On the 14th January 2011, we had a cousins KM (cell group) at Vilia's house. During the meeting I felt that God was saying this is the generation, the 3rd generation that will fulfill His big destiny and call. And it is because of the prayers of our previous generations: our grandfather (Ngong Djojo), grandmother (Emak Martha), mum and dad who have prayed, and taught us with the fear of the Lord. We are now the generation who will do great things according to His will and reap the great rewards according to their prayers and what we've done. I felt the Spirit say: our grandparents, parents have sown te seeds but now it is our generation who will reap it's produce! Amen!! All glory to God!!

So far that has been my start to 2011!! I'm waiting in anticipation for greater thiings to happen to bring glory to my God! Happy New Year guys! =)
