church service this evening was absolutely awesome.. the topic was 'Building a culture of heroes'. and no, it doesn't have anything to do with the tv show Heroes.. :) so, what is a hero? a hero isn't someone with supernatural powers or super strength.. according to the webster dictionary, a hero is defined as "an ordinary person who does extraordinary things". We're not going to change the world by being ordinary; we'll change it by being extraordinary! Ps Nick highlighted 6 characteristics he believed a hero possessed.

Heroes of Faith
1. Don't let your past dominate / dictate your future.
2. Don't let failure dominate your decision to repent.
3. Don't let hurt dominate your level of forgiveness.
4. Don't let unfulfilled dreams dominate your attitude.
5. Don't let insecurities dominate when it's time to let go.
6. Don't let the impossibilites of life dominate your faith.

if you wanna know more ask me and i'll gladly share.. :) so then he had an alter call.. where he called for people who wanted to step out of being ordinary and be extraordinary.. i went up and we were just worshipping.. then he start prophesising (how do you spell it? haha..) i think there were about 40 plus people who went up and then he spoke to 3 people right at the other end on the right.. God had revealed to him stuff about their lives, their pasts and the things that they were struggling with. i could identify the things he said to them and my eyes filled with tears as he addressed them. then he walked towards the other end of the stage and stopped in front of me. then he started speaking to me. it was a little scary cos i was aware that there were a couple of hundred people in the room.. but i just looked up into his eyes and listened to what he had to say. what he said to me really encouraged me. it's a new season for me..

anyway.. here are photos from last night's trip to Red Square.. it was lots of fun.. went for pancakes after that.. it was goooooooooooooooooooooood.. yuM! have a blessed week!
