Quite a Trophy

My sledding scab is starting to come off. I may save it in a jar to show you when you come and visit. Won't that be special?

Tonight we had our small group's "Prophetic Gift Exchange". This is an evening where we give each other prophetic gifts. I bet you couldn't have guessed that. About a month earlier we picked names out of a hat and then committed to pray about some sort of present that would illustrate what we felt the Lord wants to share with this person in particular.

Since the kids are just as much a part of the Christian family, if not one of the most important elements, we include them. Secertly everyone wants to receive a gift from the kids.

I was very lucky this time. Sofia got my name. Sofia is four, by the way.

Erin, her mom, said that Sofia was stressing about what to get me. She was worried because she felt like she couldn't hear God's voice. So one night they prayed that God would come and speak to Sofia. That night Sofia had a dream. The dream was simple. She saw a trophy and heard God say that "Kayle was winning."

So tonight Sofia gave me that trophy. It's beautiful. In fact, I should take a picture of it to show you all. It says, "Kayle Mumby - You are winning! - From Sofia"

You can bet that this trophy is going to find it's way onto a place of great honour in my room. What a treasure.

Interestingly Sofia also made me a couple of rather nice cards. One has 9 little pom-poms on it. Interesting because one of my favorite shirts says, "Victory" across the top and then has a giant number 9 on the front of it. Hummmm....

On a different subject, I'm still trying to figure out how to articulate what happened at the Gathering in Canmore. It was most profound and highly impactful. Quite overwhelming to say the least. So hopefully I will be writing about that soon. Sometimes it takes a while for things to land and make real sense in my heart. I know it's in there... I wish I could just lay hands on you all to impart what happened. That is so much more effective half the time. Maybe e-prayer works that way... so I do honestly pray right now that everything that happened at this Gathering, the Lord would begin to download into your spirit. I believe that can happen. And I do also believe I will be able to tell you about it soon. It was incredible. I'll say that for sure.

I did see some of the most profound holy/fear of the Lord moments of my life. I did see the Holy Spirit lead the entire assembly physically. And I mean physically. No words were spoken, no leader was on stage, yet the entire group of about 200 would move in instant unison and perfect timing with one heart and mind. This is hard to grasp unless you were there to witness it. It was hard to grasp even being there, but what I saw and what I experienced I cannot deny.

A worship team was not needed for at the appropriate time the entire assembly simply began to worship. Not a song to be sung, but real, pure, honest worship. Each person got what was in their heart out in whatever fashion that looked. Some danced, others sang, some layed down, some went to simply be with others, some prayed, and all together it was a breathtaking symphony of hearts sharing life together before the Throne of God.

There's a taste for you and maybe a reason why it is so hard to communicate what went on. It was rich, full, powerful and a purely wonderful time.

And again on a different note... I have this other site that I go to. It's fun. It's called MySpace and it's a wonderful way for me to really stay in better contact with those I went to school with. I put a song on my profile page that rocks my world and I've been listening to it over and over and over. I thought you might like to give it a hear too. It makes you think. I often wonder what goes through other people's heads when they hear this song. For me it's such a wonderful song of promise and hope. That may not make sense to you when you hear it, but then again maybe it will. Who knows. I just wanted to share it with you.

So go here and give it a listen if you'd like. Maybe leave a comment on this blog about what the song stirred in you?
