Youthgroup - Mission Possible

Yesterday night for youthgroup we split up into 3 groups. My group's purpose was to head up to the highest point above Christchurch and take some camera shots of landmarks (schools/stadiums/pier/church/parks/etc) Then we were to gather around in prayer and pray for four things: For schools we could see, for churches we could see, for those who did not know God, and for those who were in spiritual battles. Why? Because Moses found a high point above the battleground and raised his hands in faith. As his hands were raised the Israelites were favoured in battle and when his hands dropped his enemies would begin to gain advantage. eventually his arms became sore and he could no longer lift them, so Aaron and Joshua (I think) stood on either side of him and supported his raised arms. We stood on the hill, and prayed over the city. Although my team didn't really like it that we went to the chair (a place on the hill) over the sign of the bellbird (another place) I really enjoyed it because I always find the chair as a very spiritual place. After our prayer we got back into the van and headed back to Aaron and Summer's place for supper. Lydia felt uncomfortable most of the journey back...for some reason unbeknown and completely unrelated to myself and various other people in the van ;). Then with pictures we had taken from the hilltop aswell as other groups photos we watched some slideshows and each group talked about their task and how they set about to achieve that. I really enjoyed the evening.

On the music side of things, I've got right back into Bon Jovi and so my music reccomendations for this month are as follows:

Dance With You - Live
In These Arms - Bon Jovi
I'll Be There For You - Bon Jovi
Stronger - Delirious?

These are all songs that I can listen to over and over and never get bored of. They're songs that really trigger emotions, even if you never show them and I like that.
