My how time goes by and how coffee is wonderful

Here I am again! Hello all!
It is once again Sabbath which means it is Sunday and that it is my day of rest. I have only the 4-6 set on my schedule.
It has been a low-key days so far, with lots of sleeping being done and some laundry tossed in just to spice everything up. My roommates and I are probably going to get a Christmas tree at some point... Aly who is from Texas cannot wait for there to be snow, since she has not lived in snow for some years. Ty (Tyesha), Martha and are also getting excited... but my, I don't think I have ever seen anyone who loves Christmas as much as Aly does. It is quite beautiful.
Anyway, I'm a little bit more than random today, but that could be because I have not yet had my coffee, and I have a whole pot of Awesome homemade chai tea in the fridge.
I am still waiting on direction, but it is looking more and more likely every day that I will be heading back to IHOP and Fire In The Night in January for track 2.  Oh goodness... you should all got to IHOP.org and watch the Prayer Room from 4 to 7.... because from 6 to 7 we had crazy anointed worship and it was just beautiful... I mean the Nightwatch stayed for an extra hour or two because we could just not leave!
God is teaching me every day that His leadership is perfect and how to lean into Him for everything. I never realized how I have lived my life as if I could do it all with just a little help from God every now and again... but really I can do nothing without God. And it is a wonderful thing. I have so much more peace and hope knowing that I don't have to be "self-made" in fact, it is God doing everything! I just keep stumbling across these amazing Psalms that just strike to the core of my being... and God is just so good.
I'll not lie, there have been seriously hard Hard days where all I want to do is go home and not deal with my life... but God has been there. He has used every hard bad day to draw me closer into His heart and to make me more and more like Jesus Christ.
I am so thankful for this time in my life. God has surrounded me with wonderful roommates who really are a blessing from God, and awesome leaders who understand where I am and encourage me to dive deeper and deeper in God. AHHH I love you God! You are so Good!
It is crazy to think that I have three weeks left.... Time has gone my so fast, yet it feels like I have been here for Years! I'm so Excited to see all of you wonderful awesome loved people when I come home for Christmas!
LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!

why hello early

Hello! it is very early for me.... it is 3 pm and I only dragged myself out of bed for breakfast and came here to give you an update... and then back to bed... Since it is the day after Thanksgiving they moved classes from 6 to 9pm so we could all do some more sleeping/actually doing something.
It's funny, I got out of the Prayer Room last night and realized that exactly a year ago I was already at work at Kohl's... and now a year later, I am praying and spending time with God as my main occupation. Which I have to say is Awesome and beats out working at Kohl's (or anywhere).
Every day is a new adventure in growing... yesterday I was struck by the Beatitudes (Matt. 5-7, Luke 6-7) and it was rather crazy. I've read a lot of book and heard many sermons about living your life out in this way, but man, last night God hit it home in my heart. And all I can pray is that God will pour out His grace upon my life so that I conform my life to His direction! It seems like a hard thing, but I'm excited...
God is good. Every "day" for me is a blessing and a promise.... When I get overwhelmed and start to forget that God is good and He is working, I go outside and I see the stars. Like the song-- When I look at the stars I see someone else, when I look at the stars I feel like myself---- (good ol'switchfoot)
They are burning constant reminders and God is with me and He really does care. He has His hand upon my life, and Hears my every whisper and cry. It is crazy to realize that God really DOES ALL the things He says He will. We are so used to walking through life and not taking people's words "to the bank" we never really take them to be 100% serious about backing up what they say.
But then you have God. And He means Every Single Word He has said. He assures us to take every word to the bank and back again. He is the God who is Unchanging and Awesome. Not only is He so great and Holy, but He does not stand back and not get involved in our lives for fear of getting dirty.
No, our God is a God who stoops down to make us great (psalm 18) and one who listens for our every cry. He is loving. He is caring. He is just. He is all-powerful. He is gentle. He is so much more than I can really understand. He is the God worth living for.
And I love you all. So very much. can you tell I  have not had my coffee yet?
Oh well, love to you all. I pray that you may take God at His word a little bit more today and that you will be "Carefree in the Care of God" --Matt.6 something in the Message
LOOOOOOOOOVE!

update! ...and coffee...

HEY! So I've been really busy and have not had a chance to update ya'll! (as my wonderful room mate would say...)
Right now I'm in-between lunch and class and then off to the Prayer room from Midnight to 6!
God is really awesome! He has been teaching me many lessons, not all of them very fun. The biggest thing that He is teaching me right now is who I am in Him. I realize that I have gone through much of my life pretending to be someone I am not. God is slowly showing me who I really am, and how to be that person (the one that He made, not the illusion I created) around other people.
Also, I will be coming home for Christmas, but as still unsure what will happen after that. God and I are still talking about if I am doing Track 2 or not. I believe I will find that out in the next week or so...
YeAh! So I love you all very much. And I'm praying for you. Know that I love you even though I am not there with you right now, and I'm excited to hear what God has been doing in your life!
Pray that God will make He will known in my life!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
