Best Of... Rapid Fire

Jay:

Teleportation or flying?
I’d say my biggest flaw is that I’ll read a question, not actually understand it, but answer confidently anyways…also a sailboat.

 

Brooke:

What movie have you watched recently that you’d recommend?
This is a dangerous question to ask me, coz once I start to recommend movies...it’s very hard for me to stop talking!

  • If you want a laugh... Old Dogs (or Barbie!)
  • If you want a cry... Saving Mr Banks.
  • If you want to be inspired... Jesus Revolution.
  • If you want to see a work of art... La La Land.
  • If you want to see a movie that’s very underrated... See How They Run.
  • If you want a very clever plot... Oceans Eleven.
  • If you want amazing chemistry... The Sound of Music.
  • If you want a standout performance... Helen Mirren in The Queen.
  • If you want a movie that I can quote... High School Musical 3.
  • If you want the movie that made me fall in love with movies... Hunger Games: Catching Fire

 

Sheridan:

Did you have an imaginary friend? If so, what was their name?
Yes, her name was Barley. Unfortunately, my brother couldn’t pronounce his L’s and called her Barney. Not so cool.

 

Mark:

What was your favourite prank in Home Alone?
The fire works in the tin bucket coinsiding with snakes on the TV.

 

Jasmine:

If you could bring back any fashion trend, what would it be?
Overalls!

 

Cam:

What’s the strangest job you can imagine yourself doing?
It’s not really strange but rather just uncommon - I can imagine myself being one of those chocolate artists who make sculptures out of chocolate (although, I fear I’d never be able to keep such a job for long… I’d eat the sculptures as I was creating them).

 

Winston:

How did you propose?
I invited Sheridan to my parents place, made a delicious cooked breakfast, then said, “Sheridan, will you marry me?” She said “yes”, then lost her appetite.

 

Josh:

What’s your signature dance move?
The “dislocated elbow”. Basically standing there while my arm/elbow fling around the place.

 

Jo:

What fictional world or place would you like to visit?
Nantucket as I’ve read stories that are set there.

Best Of... The Deep End

Kirstie:

What is one thing Pastor Peter has shared that has changed your life?
I love the On an Edge of a Miracle series. It makes you think about what were people doing leading up to their breakthrough. It makes you stand strong in the season of waiting. And builds your faith to know God’s got this!

 

Ps Christine:

Name a moment where you experienced God’s favour in an extraordinary way.
There are so many…it’s very hard to pick.
However, the moment when I met Prince Harry will always stand out to me because of how it involved Angelic intervention, it involved Prince Harry leaving his pre-prepared path, and was a direct result of my daughter, Brooke, having prayed for years that I’d meet one of Diana’s sons.
If you haven’t heard the story…
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were coming to Australia in 2018 (when they were still royal). They’d announced that you could line up outside Government House to see them. We arrived at the time they’d said the area would open, and discovered they’d actually opened it hours earlier and there were already thousands of people lining the drive. We found a place on the fence down the start of the drive, however I felt a real check in my Spirit and felt God say to go up the very top (right near Government House). This didn’t make sense because it was the busiest area and there were no spots near the fence. But we obeyed God. I repeat, we obeyed God!


MIRACLE #1: We walked up to the top and suddenly a lady called us over. She had an amazing spot right on the fence. She told us to take her spot…and then she left! We were rather stunned and took her spot (much to the amazement of everyone around). We turned to thank her…and she was gone. I really believe she was an Angel!


MIRACLE #2: There was a traffic incident in the city and it meant Harry and Meghan were over an hour late to Government House. Because they still had a full day of appearances, they were trying to ‘make up time’. Therefore rather than parking at the bottom of the drive and walking up, they drove the first ¾ of the drive and only walked and met people at the very top. If we’d taken the initial spot we’d seen at the bottom, we simply would’ve seen a car drive past.


MIRACLE #3: The Royal family has a strict rule that one member of the family will walk on each side of the path; enabling everyone lined up to meet one of them. When they got out of the car, Meghan came to our side. I was disappointed because I’d really hoped to meet Harry. However, I was still grateful and amazed at what God had already done for us. Suddenly, when Harry was only a few feet away, he switched sides. The security team had a fit and were running around trying to see what was happening. Meghan continued walking on her side and shook our hands. Now Harry had arrived to our side, so Meghan left and switched sides with him. Then Harry stood in front of our group and shook our hands whilst asking where everyone was from. He then, once again, switched sides and went back to his original side - sending Meghan back over to us. We were the only group in the entire area that met both Harry and Meghan! And I firmly believe it was God that had him change sides unexpectedly.


MIRACLE #4: It was an amazing memory for me, and I was excited to tell people what God had done. Then we discovered that the Herald Sun had photographers at the event - and they’d captured the exact moment of us meeting Harry! I now have an amazing photograph of Prince Harry holding my hands whilst chatting to our group. So I can now tell the story of God’s favour…and then show the photo.


MIRACLE #5: Whilst in the car ride home, my daughter, Brooke, told me that she’d put in her Vision Book almost a decade earlier that I would one day meet one of Diana’s sons. She’d known that I’d almost met Diana multiple times, and so God put it on her heart to believe in the restoration of that dream for me.
