So Hillsong is awesome but.....
I mean don't get me wrong, their worship is amazing, but their messages are okay and I just wasn't feeling challenged.
So this Sunday morning I decided to go check out Holy Trinity Brompton which I heard good reviews about from some people back home in Philly.
Got up a lil early, had a piece of toast with neutella and some coffee(mmmmmm:D). Sat down and read the Proverb of the day and got ready.. The chapter focused a lot on trusting in the Lord, believing in him for what is unseen. Well that was put to test as I left for church giving myself exactly 20 minutes to walk there when google-maps said it was gonna take exactly 20 minutes.. Welllll, on the way there I got a lil bit lost. PANIC!... ok nooo calm down Lisha what did you just read about this morning!
Took a deep breath and called up Joanna and to ask her if she can help me figure out where I am... Not only did she get me there but I had 3 minutes to spare.. God is good!
The service was sooooo good. They sang "The Stand"! Love that song..
Anyways.. worship was excellent and really anointed.. They even did some free worship which was refreshing:) Message again, excellent.. Right on and really enlightening.
After I got some prayer afterwards I am walking out of the sanctuary.. just taking my good ol' time... I felt the urge to look up.. examining the room and the balcony I scroll across to see the German Newlyweds I met at Hillsong! I loved them and it seemed like we really had a connection last time we met. Also, I was planning on getting coffee with Gina in the next week.. They saw me and we met down stairs. Such a great surprise! He told me that last night he had a dream that they both saw me and we were all hanging out and talking... Talk about being in the right place at the right time! God is so good!
We then got lunch and had a great intellectual conversation.. Sitting in a Lebanese restaurant, we had an American Messianic Jew, 2 Germans-one of whom has a Christian mother and an Islamic father.. the conversation was fascinating.. Talking about God and the hardships in witnessing to our own people.. What an riveting journey I am on! So much to take in all the time!!
What next?? Well tonight I am gonna have dinner with all the girls from the Temple Program, yes, all 25 of us. That actually.. as of right now.. might not happen for me.. A girl from the program was thrown on her head last night... long story... and she might need to go to the hospital.. So tonight will either me a night of delicious Spanish food or hospital while helping her also work on a school presentation that needs to be ready for the next day:)
Never a boring moment in London :D
O and keep praying for safety for all of us traveling since the terrorists risk in tourists locations all over Europe has just gone up...
Blessings!:D
