Ain't a thang but a chicken wang!

Here I go! We leave for Africa tonight!

We just finished our day of training camp in Atlanta and ohh my goodness, golly jee! It was great I've been prophesied over and I prophesied over others. Some of you may be all like, "THAT IS AWESOME!' and some of you may say, "Oh, she's that Christian..." I totally understand, I remember looking at my brothers and sisters in Christ prophesy and thinking that's weird. But, there's something that I have come to realize. God is weird.

Well, think about it. He is not of this world. Weird. 

He knows all things. Weird.

Even when no one is around, He can see you. Extra weird.

He knows how many strands of hair is on your head. 100, 347.897001...creepy and weird.

But that's how we sometimes catergorize all the glorious things that God can do and create through us. I mean, haven't you pondered at the crazy things we read in books like Ezekiel and Revelation? 

Last night we were encouraged to be a safe house for ourselves and each other. A place where we can mess up and have ultimate grace. After we established that...it wasn't so weird. And it wasn't some thing that, that crazy Christian friend you have does (I think we all have one) anymore. 

In fact, it became natural. It was encouraging. If we didn't feel like saying anything, we were encouraged to be silent. 

So I encourage others as well as myself to dig deep and try to figure out why we call some of those mysterious ways of God weird. Because with digging deeper we may find that those things that we thought were weird and thought we'd never do, ain't a thang  but a chicken wang!

I'm going to be in Africa tomorrow! Pray for me all!
