and.i'll.never.be.the.same
Just a poem God that gave me the other day during my worship. I have been discovering this side of God in such a big way lately- it's so much fun :). I just love him to pieces. And I'll never be the same, now that He's overtaken me...
----
There is a song on my lips but I can’t find the words
A dance in my mind’s eye that has no steps
There is a joy so abundant it renders me foolish
A passion so deep I know not how to express
As I surrender myself to the Spirit of God
I am filled with a gladness that shakes to my core
A realization that the Ecstasy of heaven is mine
The fullness of Joy, I never knew to exist
Inebriated, intoxicated, deliriously high
Overwhelmed with this Bliss, consuming and fierce
Splashing and dancing in Love so deep
A new encounter in the Kingdom that reigns
Such a change from the person of gloom I once was
Entranced, and awakened, renewed by my God
Filled to explosion with His passion and joy
This indelible change, which forever remains.

Lately I have been pondering who I am, and who I once was. The difference is so vast- reading through my old books of poems you can see the change. So drastic. I am completely and utterly grateful that God has showed me so much grace, and that He took the time to show me who He is and who I could be- who I am, in Him.
I am never going back to where I was. Yeh! :D
Peace,
Maddi

Love, love, LOVE!!! (this means JESUS!)
I have been having so much fun lately!
Ever experienced the delirious joy of being in love with Jesus? Well, go encounter God and get blasted! Best time of my life. No-one ever understands why I am so happy and possibly a little high; always thinks it is drugs or alcohol...errrm, no. JESUS! :D
Ahh, He is just so good!
I look all around me and I see Jesus, everywhere I look. Creation, people- it just awes me. Even when I see an amazing painting, or a really interesting old building, I feel myself going, "Woah Jesus, you are so awesome." It is so exciting! I love seeing God moving in everything. So awesome. I get my flags out and dance around with them in worship, and even the wind making them ripple fills me with wonder at the glory of God. Jesus, you are sooooooooooo GOOD! :D
So, Christchurch is going through this major awakening to the realization of God's presence and glory- it is really exciting! Everywhere I go I have been meeting people, like me, who are hungry, hungry, HUNGRY for more of God- people that are full on christians, raising the standard and becoming the old "normal": meaning; bible-believing, full of the Holy Spirit, carrying the fire of God. FUll of the power of God, working miracles, prophesying, seeing in the supernatural, *HAPPY*, and becoming intoxicated and abandoned in the heady love of our King. It's so exciting!!!
Three weeks ago I started praying for a new job, I've been desperately needing one with permanent hours because I am trying to save to go to BSSM (Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry) in Redding, California. Target date to leave is 25th August 2011- I have no idea why, that was just a date that God gave me. And I need enough money by then, and not having a proper job hasn't been helping the savings account.
Anyhoo, I started praying and looking on Trademe for jobs. I applied for one over the phone and the guy told me to come in: I had a two minute interview and I got the job!
It was fully God! And the pay is pretty darn incredible. AND, they are paying for me to get my General Managers license so that I can become the restaurant manager! JESUS much?? :D. Watch out Bethel, here I come!!!
In my lunch break a few weeks back I decided to go for a walk to Cathedral square, and I saw this big group standing way across the square by the road, and my little radar went "Oooo, JESUS!" so I went over to investigate. It was a bunch of young people hitting the streets with the power of God, sharing the Love with people, and praying. We saw HEAPS of healings!!! That was the best ever lunch break of my life! Got me so pumped...when I went back to work everyone was wanting to know what I had smoked. Haha....errrm, no. JESUS!
Loving this song ae- it speaks out pretty much exactly what I am feeling.
Intoxicating You are to me
Illuminating You are to see
Truly breathtaking You are to breathe
Sending my head swimming You are, You see
And I've lost my mind, I'm sure to find
Need to apologize for my
Lack of inhibition, for my
belligerent condition
But with You this near I'm dizzy
Inebriating You are to me
Completely captivating You are to see
Sending my world spinning You are, You see
And now I find a blurry line
Here between You and I
Raise the cup, drink 'til I'm full
Sing 'til I can't, 'til my voice is gone
And my head is spinning
La, la dee da
La dee da, dee da
Dee da da da
Hey la, la dee da
La dee da, dee da
Dee da da da
If I'm out of my mind it's You, You
'Cause I'm crazy in love with You, You
Inebriated by You, You
'Cause I'm head over heels with You, Jesus.
So yes. Jesus is where it's at peoples!
Go have an amazing day. Get into the real good stuff.
Love of God overtake you and blow your mind and mess with your senses.
Haha, go play with some angels or something.
Bless ya,
Maddi

Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom
Little girl dreams to be a princess
Wiggle my nose, away I go
Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face inside will tell me all
Beauty wakened with a kiss
Snow-white dreams, bed of bliss
Pretty in pink, a fragrant flower
Tucked inside an ivory tower
Middle-girl dreams to meet a lover
Strong, kind man to hold my hand
Gilded mirror on the wall
The face inside reveals it all
Beauty cheapened with a lie
Sordid dreams, bedroom eyes
Veiled in black, a ruined bride
Used, confused, and cast aside
Worlds away in a grownup land
Always moving, working, proving
Check the mirror on the wall
The face inside it shows me all
Beauty weakened with the years
Broken dreams, bed of tears
In the red and on the edge
Pressed in by a thorny hedge
King in bright and fiery light
Astride his steed, he rides for me
My mirror rests on heaven's throne
One glance to know as I am known
Beauty deepened by his face
Wildest dreams, bed of grace
Whitest robe and crown of gold
Bride of Christ, my future told
Little girl dreams to be a princess
Wiggle my nose, away I go
Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face inside will tell me all
Beauty wakened with a kiss
Snow-white dreams, bed of bliss
Pretty in pink, a fragrant flower
Tucked inside an ivory tower
Middle-girl dreams to meet a lover
Strong, kind man to hold my hand
Gilded mirror on the wall
The face inside reveals it all
Beauty cheapened with a lie
Sordid dreams, bedroom eyes
Veiled in black, a ruined bride
Used, confused, and cast aside
Worlds away in a grownup land
Always moving, working, proving
Check the mirror on the wall
The face inside it shows me all
Beauty weakened with the years
Broken dreams, bed of tears
In the red and on the edge
Pressed in by a thorny hedge
King in bright and fiery light
Astride his steed, he rides for me
My mirror rests on heaven's throne
One glance to know as I am known
Beauty deepened by his face
Wildest dreams, bed of grace
Whitest robe and crown of gold
Bride of Christ, my future told
