As you have already read God has been blessing me so much in my 3 weeks here and He is opening doors that I could have never dreamed of.
One thing that I have always desired with God is a deep intimacy. I have seen it in people and heard it come through the messages I have heard spoken by pastors, missionaries, and evangelists. I have longed for intimacy for a long time that I have seen in people like Heidi Baker and Brother Yun. That place of talking back and forth with God and sharing life together as I was created to do with my Father, is something that I have seen and desired for a long time. It is something that I feel that has been out of my reach for a long time and it feels like it is something I have never understood, grasped, had, or whatever you want to call it. Leslee Morton was an amazing spiritual mother to me who I could tell about this desire and talk to her about it because I saw such an intimacy within her. She was a great help to me in my struggle with this and helped me even more with the last words she said to me before she stepped on the plane to leave northern ireland. She told me to stay close to Mark Marx. She said that he was a man of deep intimacy and that he was deeper and farther in intimacy than even she was with the Lord. I had already talked to Matt Yeoman about Mark and how much of an amazing man he was and about how Matt could really feel a presence of God and authority on that man. So when I came back to Coleraine all I could think about was a way to ask Mark to teach me about intimacy.
The first week I was alone and without the anaheim team I was doing Shine. Everyday I got to spend 2 hours with Mark praying for people at HOTS, so during those times I would think of a way that I could ask him to teach me about intimacy with God. I almost asked him a couple of times, but on friday Mark asked me a question that was a blessing I hadn't even asked for from God. Mark asked me if I wanted to be his traveling partner. Mark is the founder/ starter of the Healing on the Streets ministry here at the Causeway Coast Vineyard. He has lately been getting contacted by churches all over Europe to come and train them in how to do HOTS and to help them launch their own ministry in their town. So right now Mark is booked all the way up until christmas with churches and places to go. So when Mark asked me if I wanted to be his traveling partner, it ment that I would be traveling with him all over the world being able to watch and learn from him in countless situations and that I would be able to ask the question I have been wanting to ask him. It also means that I will have access to a man who I specifically wanted to learn from in many areas of my walk with God and the coolest thing all about it is that he picked me.
This was something I couldn't have dreamed of for myself in a million years and I am so excited that I get to be a part of God's amazing plan. Thank you Lord for your blessings!!! Thank you God that you are so good to me!!! I love you Jesus!!! Amen!!!
