I have a good life.

Updates:

It's already November 2010. 2010 is almost gone. I can't even begin to tell you how frustrating it is, that time passes so quickly these days. gr... but what can I do about it? Absolutely nothing! Enjoy each moment and remain thankful for the blessings I have!


What blessings do I have? What a perfect time to write them down, it's the start of Thanksgiving week. Jesus, Light these next 25 years of holidays on fire. I just expect them to be full of blessing, because of all the years the enemy has stolen from me. And then use these next 25 years as preparation for the next 25 years to pour into other lives the blessings I have received! Oh Jesus, you have come to bring me life, and more life more abundantly.

So thank YOU for the trials.

1. This first trial that I am going to share, has left me fighting a war, I didn't even know I was really in. We just had a really powerful time of teaching in my church called, Eleven. I left there with so many awesome words of encouragement (that I'll share afterwards) and a renewed passion and zeal to serve Jesus Christ whole heartedly. But at the same time, I felt like the enemy was sent to destroy somethings in my life, that really are near and dear to my heart. My relationship with my love, Ryan, was really being tried. Lots of doubt and fear was circling around me, prowling and roaring, making me feel intimidated and full of fear. So, I am PRAISING JESUS, because HE is setting thing RIGHT all over the earth. I have a loving Saviour, who has come to fight the battles for me. I have faith that He is sending out warring angels on my behalf, to see the plans He has for me fulfilled. So, I seriously, am just so thankful for my relationship with Jesus. My trust and rest are in Him. I am so excited to be in His word again. His word brings me so much life, and joy, and understanding, and power. OHHHHH I love it so much, He fills me in every way, satisfying my desire, and everything else is just an extra sweet kiss.

2. I am also thankful that He even plans my days for me. There isn't an hour that goes by, that is unplanned by Him. It's funny, because sometimes, I will be thinking, man I would rather do this or that, but OK, I already made plans. And God will just reorganize my life, and it's perfectly 100% what I want. I am thankful that!

3. The Edmonds can use the truck! I am glad about this, but I am also praying we come up and live out a good deal. I would like to be taught how to invest by Bruce's dad, and if I should get some money for it, them Lord, let me know how much. If this is a resource YOU are moving me to give, then do it. I would rather it be used, than sit in my driveway taking up space. Have your way precious Jesus. You give and take away, but my heart will choose to say, Blessed by YOUR NAME!

4. My roommates. I don;t ever want to leave them! They are so awesome! Ginger is happily on vacation, Aleks is more and more beautiful to me each day, so is Emma. I have to sweetest friends, and they live with me and pay me rent. Could it be any better? :)

5. I put an offer on the apt, and I know there will be favor and blessing around it. I haven't really told anyone about it, but yeah, it's going to be awesome, and I am thankful and excited to be investing some of my money into things I feel will be beneficial in making me less dependent upon a full time job, which my goal is to live off residual income, and do really well at it!

6. I start school in January, and I can't believe it! I will be in school again! I am thankful because I am learning a trade that will potentially make me really desirable for the mission field. I want to be equip and full available to the work of Jesus. My life, is to be fully lived for Him, and Him alone. Jesus, would you gracefully show me the ropes?

7. My friends are amazing. I am surrounded by fearless, smart, faithful, kind, strong and loving brothers and sisters. Jesus, would you strengthen them, and let Your word flow ceaselessly through them. Use them to destroy strongholds and breakdwon the enemies walls of separation. Such ferocious daughters and sons.

8. My whole house is great, I can do anything good. My house is a house of worship and prayer, lit up like a fire in the Holy Spirit!

9. I am thankful life isn't over yet, because I want to go white water rafting one day. I want to see India and Israel.

SO that is the update! If you don't know Jesus this way, and you want to, then just pray, and ask Him to show himself to you. If you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you. James 4:8

Thanks for reading!

Gimme a T for Trial!

There is nothing better than Love
I know it comes from straight above.
Will we trust you fully with ourselves
and live out the way Your Word tells?
Something I like, is opening your word
and telling people things they've never heard.
Would you send me out to talk to them
or have a home for fasting and prayer?

Could I open up a place where I could fast leaders in a healthy retreat-like way? It would be a service to the body of Christ. Powerful manifestations of the Holy Sprirt. Oh yeah! The Spirit likes to have fun! :)


WOW! and it could be for leadership who are going through physical, mental or spiritual problems? Lord, that would be awesome!

That totally turned into a dream, instead of a poem... but oh well, it's my special creation and it's all good. :)

Praises:

God answered my prayer and turned my heavy heart into praising.
