I"M AN AUNT!!!

So............. I'm an AUNT! TWICE! Betsy had here little baby boys! AHHHHHHH and as you can probably tell I'm a little JazZed! God is just So Good! Since I'm on Night Watch it was a little hard getting the info to be, but I flipped out when I found out! I was lay on my floor just trying to wrap my mind around that fact that Betsy and Matt are now Mommies and Daddies! Kinda crazy, but so Awesome!!!!! And Yes, I am going to be an Awesome Aunt. Not quite sure How yet, but I'm going to be!!!!
Oh God is sooooooo good! I just cannot get over that fact! I seems like every day God is showing me that Yes, He can be better than the day before! Oh it's just so happy! He is never the same twice and OH how He blessed my heart!
Love to you All!

Coffee and Love

I just want to say straight up--
GOD IS SO GOOD. And it's Crazy.
I have been at IHOP for about a month now, and God has made every day count. Every day when I draw near to Him, He is faithful to shine the light of His face on me.
He has shown me so many thing that I either never knew, or did not have the guts to believe. Like how He loves me, and not only that-- but He LIKES me.
Last night I had such a revelation of His love for me. Don't get me wrong, I have always 'known' that God loves me, but last night my heart believed if for the first time. The weight of the world that I have been caring around for the last 19+ years, has fallen off. I feel like Christian in Pilgrims Progress-- my weight fell of and rolled away. So many times over the years God tried to help me with my burdens, but I would never full let Him, sure I would let Him hold them for a moment or two, but never GIVE it to Him. And last night, His love overcame my heart, and I knew that He was trustworthy, so I gave them to Him. I am free. Every day I have to remember that He is my all. He is the one who gives me the strength to do anything.
And it's crazy. HE IS SO GOOD. I encourage you to lean upon God with all that you are. No matter how scary it seems to let Him in to the deepest (and most painful) parts of your heart, but you will never regret it. Never.
Today God wants to encounter you with His love. Not only so that you will Know it, but that your Heart will feel it and know it as sure as your next heartbeat.
On the practical side, I love IHOP, but am not sure that I am called to do the second track in Fire In The Night. (Which means that I would be done when I come home for Christmas)
Also, I really want to go to the Onething conference this year-- and it would be super fun to get a whole bunch of people to go... so you should be thinking... and you should come.
I miss all of my Lovely people-- you, my friends and family... but when I miss you I pray for you. So you all get a lot of prayer. But let me know how I can be praying for people!
I spent about six hours a night in the prayer room, and guess what I do-- Pray! That's right! :D
Oh I love you all so much. Know that right now my heart is leaping for joy and I am giving you huge mental hugs!
Love you all with all that I am!

Coffee shops and Grilled Cheese...

So It has been a long time and many miles of the heart since I have last written... but at the end of this day and every day-- God is Good. So Good that it blows my mind apart!
The biggest awesome update is this--GOD HEALED ME!!!! I can eat like a normal person again!
For four or five years I have not been able to eat wheat or dairy, at first I could cheat a bit and not suffer reaction that were too bad, but lately I started getting really sick if I had even a little bit of my wonderful forbidden food... to the point that I actually gave up pizza for goood. (if you did not know, that is a HUGE thing, pizza was the one thing that I would NOT give up)
But on the second to last night of the Awakening, they prayed for the healing of stomachs and I prayed. I did not feel any different... but on the last night of the Awakening I really came before God and wanted to be healed. Not that it was a big deal to me, my faith was not on the line or anything, but I started to want ALL that God wants for my life. Even the little things.
I started to think I was healed, but was reluctant to try it out... so I did not tell anyone other than my roommates for about a week, but it has been about two now! And I'm Fine!!! For the first time in a long time I can not think about what I eat, I don't have to turn down anything that anyone offers anymore...
GOD is soo good.
This was something that meant a lot to me, a reassurance that God wants the best for me, and even cares about what I can and cannot eat.
God is good.
I love you all.
I will write more!

Here I am... In a coffee shop

Hello my Loves!
And as my title implies I am sitting in a coffee shop! Time has flown, today I have been at IHOP for a week. Seems like no time at all and a life time all in the same moment. God has done so many crazy things to my heart-- all good I assure you.  I started three of the classes I'm taking-- The life of David, Excellencies of Christ, Prophetic history and I have started reading the book "Pure Heart" for another class (which I'm Reallllllly excited about the book is AmAAAzing!)
Well I have a bit of free time before the first class so my wonderful roomies and I are going to make a run to the ol'wal-of-mart and pick up everything we need for life and godliness...
I'm in kinda of a crazy mood because I'm up, awake and I have had NO COFFEE. which should be a crime.... anyway. I wanted to update you all... even though I really have not done much, but still...
I think I'm going to go and see if I got any mail!!!!!! (just so you know mail is one of the happiest thing is life... *hint* *hint*)
Well I love you so much and even though I am far away from you I think about you and when you cross my heart I stop and pray for you. I hope you feel my love,
LOVE!

Chillin with Coffee....

So it is almost 2:30 here and I'm sitting outside of the bookstore waiting for breakfast, yup, that's right. Breakfast. Since I stay up till 6am, I get up at about 2pm and have my whole day while other people are getting ready for bed.
I don't have a ton of time up wanted to just let you all know that I'm doing well and I just LOVE it here.
God is so good. He has been doing amazing things even though I have only been here for about 4 days....
I went to the Awakening service last night and God moved in my heart in a big way, then when I spent my six hours in the prayer room God really touched me again.... Let's just say I was crying alot, and that my eyes started hurting because of all the salt passing out of them. I'm so excited! We get to buy our books today and I believe start classes next week!
I just love my room/apartment mates! They are so on fire for God and are not weirded out by anything!
ahhh, well I see the line starting to form for breakfast!
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

First day

Hey I don't have Internet at my apartment right now so it's a bit hard to post my new stuff... but I have written so I may be updating for several days at once! LOVE!

9/30/10

Well, my first day is done and I should be sleep right now. This is technically my “night” I will (when I get fully into the schedule) be praying till 6am and sleeping till 2-2:30 when I get up and have “breakfast.”

·      That leads me to the very interesting topic of my eating habits—I cannot eat wheat or dairy… thus cafeteria food is a little difficult. I talked with my team leader last night and she recommended that I get reimbursed and just make my own food, which is what I will be doing.

·      I’m living with three really awesome girls! Martha, Ali, and T (because I cannot spell her real name, but it’s awesome!)

·      And today we are going to make a Wal-Mart run to pick up this for the apartment like toilet paper and soap and such wonderful things.

·      I really like Fire In The Night so far, and I know it’s just going to get better.

·      We have not had any full-blown classes yet, but I’m pretty excited! The welcome seasons that we have had have been really good. Also we had ministry time where anyone could come up and pray for the track one people. It was a really sweet time, four people prayed for me and I was doing my impersonation of a leaking sink and cried almost the whole time.

·      That’s all for now, I’ll write again soon. I love you all! God bless you my Lovelies!Well, my first day is done and I should be sleep right now.
