God is faithful

As normal God continues to stretch and tie lessons in my life in the ups and downs. As I think back over the last few months and all I've learned as I've been here. I don't think it's prideful to say I have grown up alot! I have alot more confidence in who I am. I have a better foundation in spiritual matters like prophecy, the 5- fold ministry team, our inheritance as children, learning how to press in for more of God, etc. Yet, as the year is 3 months from finishing there is still so much more to learn. Steve Fish has been helping us find our top "passions" and learning to find a strategy to how we our going to complete these out. I have been working on vision statements, praying into and working on how that is going to look on the practical side.
Good news, I have finished all but one chapter of my Biblestudy, "Daughters of God". We'll see if it is the right timing to have it published this year. Oh, we learned our redemptive gifts. I am a mercy, encourager. It was really fun learning some of the attributes, it was like, "what? I'm not weird because I have these quirk?" I've been learning alot through the transformation ministry. Actually, I'd say I'm thriving off what I've been learning there. Helping people be set free and find peace is so fulfilling to me! The knowledge and books I'm reading are really interesting! Right now I'm reading several, but my favorite is "the Father's Embrace" by Jack Frost.
In March 18-29 (God willing) I will be going to Thailand on a mission trip. I am really excited about this opportunity. Although I am still about $1000 short, I know that if I'm suppose to go, God will provide. God has given me such peace through all the financial stuff. There always is just enough, even when I don't think there will be.

Sebastian proposed on Jan. 1 at midnight. We are getting married this summer. So meanwhile I am also planning a wedding and preparing to move back to San Angelo for a year until Sebastian graduates from ASU. I am so proud of all his hard work :).

God is so faithful! He has been blessing my time and rewarding my effort to keep up :). Thank you all for you love, support and prayers. That's all for now. I'll try to update a bit more frequently...

In August after I finished CWG, )a two year online writing school), I was relieved. It freed up alot of time and gave me a break from having to have a lesson done every two weeks. However, in October, Patricia King, came to our school and taught on "Dreaming Big" and allowing God to give us visions and begin making those dreams come true. Several weeks later, another speaker from our school was teaching on how often God gives us seeds but instead of planting them and allowing them to grow, we often hold them in our hands. I realized the reasons God hadn't given me bigger dreams with my future is simply because I haven't pursued my smaller dreams. I thought in August when I finished CWG I had completed the course. Which, to a degree is true, however, I still have nothing published. So I took the first scary step. I submitted my the first three chapters and overview of my Biblestudy "Daughters of the King" to Patricia King's publishing company. The head editor replied back and told me that she believed it would be to expensive for a student to publish through them because they have the author pay for the printing of the book. However, that I am a good writer and believes I should pursue publishing it. God has been reminding me of how much I love writing lately. I have kept myself so busy "learning" that I haven't allowed myself to go to the next level of "doing" in the areas I've already learned in. I wanted to learn everything I could so I would be prepared and wouldn't fail, however I've recently learned that failure is simply a part of life and learning and it shouldn't stop me from going on in life. God has been teaching me so much but that doesn't mean I forget the lessons of the past. I am determined to see my dreams fulfilled with God's help. However, I know that doesn't mean I won't mess up again, it simply means I take one step at a time and keep going until it's been done!

November

So life has been alot the same... work, school, etc. So I thought I'd just throw in little nuggets of what I've learned lately:
We've been assigned to pick a story in the Bible and do Biblical research and ask God to give us downloads. I've done several but David and Goliath was one of my favorites!
"Your giant may sound big, you have to remember your God is bigger." "Most people fear the giants so much that they not only run but spend life quaking in fear." "We need to be so confident in 'who we are' in Christ that when our identity is questioned we are not moved!
The first week of November was inner healing. Wow! It was powerful! The first day we got into groups of two to three with one male and two females to stand in the place of those who had hurt us to forgive and be forgiven. At first no one really wanted to do it, yet the results we're so powerful for those who opened up and let old wounds be revisited and healed when they forgave those who had hurt them. Wednesday was outreach day which is always powerful bringing Jesus' truth to kids from 1st to 6th grade. Thursday was on the Father's heart and our identity. Friday was on Spiritual Slavery to Spiritual Sonship. Both were very powerful. God did alot with each student on those days. I personally was freed from alot of junk I didn't even know existed.
The next week we attended Bill Johnson and Randy Clark's healing school. Again, it was amazing. Even though my head is still spinning from all the info we've learned this month! I'm going to just write a few things that really hit me at the conference.
"My great intellect makes for a great conversation but makes a horrible lord." "Jesus had to have a peace in his heart and internally before He could release peace to end the storm. We're always positioned to change the world around us. It starts with inner peace." "When someone isn't healed you learn to have compassion and it an open invitation to come be with God to find the key to have break through." "Scripture doesn't contain God, it reveals Him." "If you hear a word more than once, it will most likely face more oppostition and oppression. It doesn't mean it's the most important or defining word of your life."
This week is on the Holy Spirit. It's been good. Today we are hearing from some missionaries who've spent time with Heidi Baker and are going to work in the underground churches in China. I'm really excited! Oh, we'll find out where we are going for our mission trip as well!
TTYL!

Wow... where do I start? I feel like God is accelerating my learning abilities this year! This last month we studied prophecy. I feel like I have a really good foundation with that area now. I just love all the foundational stuff I've been learning. It's been really awesome. I've really enjoyed working with the counseling people. It's amazing to see how much people are transformed just going through a prayer session and just realizing that God loves them no matter what they've done or gone through. It's so rewarding when I see them walking around free because they've experience the Father's love. Even the training I'm receiving from being under this group has been amazing! I know God is giving me a huge dose of what I'm going to need in the future... although what that is I still don't know. I'm pretty sure I'm suppose to go to Thailand in March to work with the prostitutes and sex slavery. The thought of coming up with that money when I'm barely making ends meet is challenging; yet God is my provider and if its suppose to happen it will. This past couple months have been hard yet good. God has been doing alot of refining. This week's theme has been doing inner healing for all of us students. Although it hasn't been very fun; it's been amazing all that I and my fellow students have been freed of. Next week we're going to Bill Johnson and Randy Clark's healing school in Abilene. I'm really excited. Work has been really good. I love my job! My manager has been amazing as far as working with my school schedule. I am walking in His favor and learning to live out of the Kingdom realm!
More to come,

I'm really behind on blogging...

Hey guys,
Man, God has been doing so much in my life lately. Each of the students were given a free "exchange" session. I really didn't think I had much to deal with. Was I wrong! We dealt with some things that went back to mindsets and stuff that had been set when I was in my mom's womb.
Then Patricia King came. At first I was a little bummed. Because she was focusing on "dreaming big" after you turned 40. But the more I listened the more I realized it applied to me. Just to not give up on dreams, and really stay after dreams I have started and finish them.
God has also been working on me with the "money" issue. I love my job, however, they are only giving me about 15 hours a week. To pay off all my bills, I need about 20 a week. I truly believe He is keeping me at this place so I will have to depend on him. He is faithful and I have had more than enough. Although, sometimes I don't receive it until last minute. However, my God is faithful.
We've been studying prophecy. So yesterday, they picked five people to prophecy over three people who had been picked from the crowd. However, they weren't allowed to see who it was until afterwards. I was one of the three prophecied. It was really awesome. They were right on! God spoke to me through what they were saying.
Please continue to lift me up as I've been going through the refiners fire. It's been really good, but that is an area ya'll can pray for. Love ya'll!

So this last week has been busy... like normal. Last weekend we had Becky Castle do the "exchange" conference. On Thursday I did my actual session. It was really awesome! It brought up things I didn't even know about like judgments and unforgiveness that was holding me back from moving on. I think it will really help me in the future.
Patricia King came to our church this weekend. Mom and Lane came to visit me and attend the conference. She was very awesome! She was an amazing speaker and really challenged me to live in the "kingdom" mindset. It was really good to just have some hang time with mom and Lane. We had a lot of fun running around Ft. Worth :)
God is continually teaching me that He is my provider... and to continually thank God for the miracle He is going to provide because He has promised that I will always have enough when things don't always look like there will be enough.

Hello,
So this last week has been crazy busy cause I worked 25 hours at David's Bridal which is awesome! It won't continue to be that busy until Jan. during our busy season, but it was great while it lasted. Not a whole lot new. This weekend has been pretty low key which I needed. Sebastian came to visit and we had a wonderful time hanging out. That time is precious when we only get to see each other every two weeks! School is staying busy. Patricia King is coming to town next weekend. I'm really looking forward to her conference. My mom is coming too, so I'll get to hang out with her for a little bit. This month we're studying prophecy. I'm really excited about all we'll be doing! This last Thursday and Friday we had Becky Castle come and do "The Exchange" which is where you learn to have an intimate conversation with God and exchange your junk for his truth. The actual program was really good, however, she wasn't a very good speaker so the actual conference was quite boring. I go on Thursday to have my personal "exchange" which I'm very excited about. I begin working with the transformation team on Tuesday. I've been doing some homework but I actually start working with them tomorrow. So that's it for now! I hope everyone is doing well! I miss y'all!
