Q&A With Bobbie Houston #2 [PART 3]

Bobbie HoustonThis is possibly the third and last blog (for now) on the question of "balance". I asked a bunch of girls in our Hillsong world for ONE TIP. These women are all in ministry and as you can see are responding from a broad spectrum of life, journey and experience. I asked them to share their age, age of their children and their "current" role in ministry. They didn't have space for too much detail, but most of these girls juggle many roles and some have faced enormous challenges with grace and wisdom. I stand in awe of them all. I listed them in order of how I received them ... and there's still a handful that we can save for another day. Love always, Bobbie

Bobbie Houston notepad Hillsong"HOW DO YOU STAY SANE ON THE JOURNEY?"

Ha! This is a great question, cos some might seriously argue that we aren't sane! In fact, I have been heard to say (on occasion) to either myself or anyone within hearing distance - "we must be INSANE” in trying to pull off what we sometimes pull off. 

I realized a long time ago that "my life, the man I married, our church and ministry, the pace of life we live at, and the responsibility we carry" is not normal ... and that it is going to require A DIFFERENT KIND OF SANITY to fulfill what we need to fulfill.

Walked past this building recently. It's the Auckland Town Hall and it's where I got SAVED almost forty years ago!!

I still remember walking in and sensing an "atmosphere" I had never experienced before. I still remember feeling amazed by the people around me, the songs, and the singing. I still remember the message spoken, and that although I didn't really understand all that was being said, it still resonated within ... and I still remember a simple "appeal" being made towards the end ... An appeal to know God!
