Something old.. something new.. but me.. I'm feeling kinda blue.
I stayed the weekend at my brothers place because my parents were gone away for the weekend to Regina.. It was fun. I learned how to play the digerydoo.. (sp?) lol and the bongos.. and the tongue drum.. and some guitar.. a bit of drums.. but I wasn't courageous enough to take on the saxophone.. lol this guy who lives at my bro's place (also dating my best bud Shanni) has every musical thing ever. lol he even plays the harmonica really good. Moving on with what I really want to post about though... lol..
Today I went to church not expecting anything. But God definantly had something for me lol... So I'm sitting there.. Trevor just read the announcements we prayed for these people who were leaving the congregation to go to new zealand... and then Carla (Pastor Trevors wife..) calls me up... and I'm thinking "BAAAHHHHHHAHSFIOSDH GLJDFG what the heck is going on?!" and she says "Eliza, usually I don't do this infront of the congregation but I feel like I need to this time.. so that the whole church can hold you accountable" and I'm thinking "o my goodness.. what is she about to say?" and she looks me in the eye and says "Eliza during worship God laid something on my heart for you and this is what it is, Eliza you may be being attacked by confusion, in emotions and in thought, but you know what, all you need to do is get into worship, into His presence, because when you do that, things turn right, and you know that. You may feel like you're not able to trust your emotions or your thoughts at times, but you can trust in Him. And has he got a calling on your life girl, you were made for leadership, and the more you go to Him to lay down your confusion, the more He will use you to lead this generation through the confusion this generation is suffering from. You're got leadership written all over you." Those aren't her exact words, but that's the jist of it at least.. and I'm standing there listening to this thinking 'o my goodness.. this is so right on.' like it was confirmation for a couple things and then like reassurance and some were words I really needed to hear. After church another four people came up to me and were telling me basically the same thing that "God was laying that on my heart for you aswell, and by gosh if someone didn't get up there and tell you it.. I was going too!" lol... and then... I started teaching the girls the dance for mogul mania. It's going to be awesome. I'm so excited.
peace,
Eliza-Jane

Wow. That is really awesome.
Today at my church someone stood up and gave encouraging scripture. It was cool; although not nearly as cool as your story, or as specifically directed!!!
It's amazing how the Holy Spirit can help us through other people.
Also very excited about the dance... wish I could come do the game-show again!!!
When is M.M. this year?
MJ was wearing her M.M. toque yesterday. She's cute.
Lizer!
You made me cry. Nessa said I had to read this blog of yours and she was right. I love it when God does that knock-your-socks-off, kick-it-out-of-the-park kindof hit-you-in-the-face "this is my message for you - listen up!" thing. You know I have always believed all of that prophecy for you and so much more. I'm going to add now. You ready?
Eliza, you are at a time of training in your life. Training, training, training. Be a sponge. Be open to imput from trusted others. Learn and don't be afraid to admit when you don't know what to do or how to do it. God has placed teachers in your life for this time of training. Look for Godly counsel. Know your team - learn to delegate and trust others with tasks. Be an example to others in word, in attitude, in actions. See that God has given both the opportunity to strengthen your weaknesses and to build upon and use your strengths. There is nothing you cannot do. Remember also to be in the body - part of the whole. Let your individuality shine as you allow others to shine in their gifts. You will have the ability to recognize how others fit in your "vision" as God gives you the ability to see it. Lay down your pride and serve them. Only then will you be the leader God has chosen you to be. A servant leader. Lead with courage and joy.
I love you!
MJ
