The desires of your heart...

This past week of school has been incredible, intense, and already, life-changing.  
Every afternoon, we start school with worship. I mean, how cool is that?! I think we should start that up in public schools and really start something up:) 


In between bouts of awesomeness and Jesus doing incredible stuff, I've had some time to miss you guys...but otherwise I'm doing pretty good. ;) I can't wait to bring it back and have Jesus ravage your lives like He has mine. Actually, I'm praying He does it before I come back. That'd be supa rad. 


Anyways, the really huge thing happened on Friday night. I had a party with my Revival Group and the second year students came to pray and prophesy over us. One girl came up and had no idea what she was going to say and waited on God. Then she just started speaking forth absolute, incredible, amazingness. 


She started by saying that I am supposed to be playing guitar and singing. Do you guys know how long that desire has been on my heart?! She said that I will bring a change and the presence of God in where I play music; and that people have said "oh you're not as good as so and so" and that has held me back, which was RIGHT ON. It was insane. I just started bawling. 


It just totally showed me that God will give me the desires of my heart. He knows them and He's willing to give them to us. (As long as they're healthy desires, haha) I know I have to work towards this, but it is so worth it, especially because of this confirmation.


I've been getting prophesied over constantly since I've been here and I love it. So many things have just been right on...ugh. I love it. This school was definitely the right choice. I know I'm not always going to like what I have to do, but it's going to stretch me and it will definitely be good for me. 


I love you guys. Thank you so much for your support. <3

Healings!

So me and my parents went to the healing rooms today at Bethel Church. They have a waiting room where the band plays and a lot of people get healed there as well. The staff calls out words of knowledge and cancer leaves, legs get healed...deaf ears get healed.


See that last part? Deaf ears get healed? My mom has hearing aids. She is almost completely deaf without them. They called out a word of knowledge for ears. My mom has been praying for healing for a long time for her ears. My whole family has been pressing in for it.


Today was the day. She got completely healed. She took her hearing aids out and there was no difference. Both me and my dad were talking in low voices and she could hear us. She normally can't even hear us talking loud, and there was a band in the background too! This is so insanely amazing and I've cried over and prayed for her ears for SUCH a long time. 


I just absolutely adore the atmosphere of this place. It has the presence of God everywhere you walk on these grounds. I wanna bring the Spirit of God with me everywhere I go...into Wal*Mart, I want to walk in there with His presence surrounding me and people get healed. YES. This is the life I wanna chase after and live. There is no other way to live. None. 


Yes, I want to fall in love. Have kids. Live the American Dream. But THIS...this is the American dream. Absolute, total, real freedom. This is God's vision for America; for the world. So while I will be having a blast falling in love, getting married, and having kids, I am going to pursue the supernatural for the rest of my life.

Redding

Here I am in Redding, not exactly in my new apartment for reasons pertaining to no air conditioning until tomorrow and it being about 100 degrees. Yes. 100. For you Minnesotan folks, it is hard to imagine. My mother just about fainted when she saw those two bright green 9's on my car thermostat thingy. I huzzahed; I like heat! California, is therefore, the best choice. (Despite it being away from my family, friends, boyfriend, church, job...) 


We got in at about 1:45 this afternoon and went straight to my leasers apartment, where we proceeded to pay my first months rent, call the gas company and the electric company to get things started up, and go over my contract. We then strolled over (In 99 degree weather) to my apartment, checked it out, had first pick of rooms (being as I'm the first one there). 


With being the first person to arrive also comes responsibility. I now have the electric and gas bill in my name and have the duty to collect rent from my three other girls and bring to Mike (The leaser) Eh. It's okay. I need some responsibility in my life. haha. 


I cannot describe how excited I am for this new season in my life. A move to a completely different state for an intense 9 months of training how to live the Supernatural naturally, healing the sick and raising the dead for God's glory; a long distance relationship:); renting an apartment for the first time in my life; it's all just so surreal. But I cannot wait. I am ready for this challenge. This is what God has prepared me for and I am so up for it. 


As always, please be praying.


Cheers!
