Primal Day!


So it has come around to Thursday once again, and in a way this day is rather significant for quite a few reasons. For one, it's payday. Being a student who is living on a student loan it becomes essential to pinch pennies. This does however clash with the gospel which instructs us to give cheerfully. This is an aspect in my personality that I am struggling to contend with everyday. The huge contrast between counting every dollar along with the desire to be generous frequently plays a game of tug of war in my heart. However I believe it is important to give this matter to God, because He knows our entire hearts and minds!

Primal. Now this is a doozie. Primal is the main centre of attention on Thursday nights. Every time it reveals a new revelation, relationships with friends grow tighter and stronger as we all come to grow stronger as brothers and sisters in Christ. As we worship our God, who lives in all of us, we take on new elements to our character as well as deepening our faith.

As of several months ago, I have started to be involved in the worship at Primal. This has been at times challenging and even perhaps frustrating as we grow stronger as a unit and as a team. It is very fulfilling to play on thursday night however, especially when the presence of God comes down! One thing that has become perpeptually obvious to me is that music is something that has got to be in my path. Ever since I was a child I was banging on a saucepan or singing into a microphone in a dress up tutu. This childhood quirk has gone on to create a woman who never leaves home without earphones in. Whether it's romantic pop, a dose of heavy metal or even some folk I have to have it in my day. I strongly hope and wish and pray that my creative side is something that never leaves me, but becomes far more prominent in what I do, that things I produce and the music I eventually and hopefully come to make. Whether I go on to do a music course or do a few music papers at university next year I just pray that it is something that is a large part of my life as it is now. It was greatly encouraging when it was prophesised over me a few weeks ago that I would sing. I found this to be rather ironic as I had just come back from a conference in Auckland called SING! Praise the Lord.

I want to leave with some words of will hopefully be seen as wise. Whatever you're passionate about, pursue it! Follow your dreams! God will provide! Go down the path you are called to go down!

God Bless you all, forever and ever, amen. :)
