A video one of the girls on my outreach team took; we’re in a village waiting until it gets dark enough to show the “Jesus Film”. This is called the bush of Mozambique.

Let earth receive her King.

In a garden we fell; in a garden we shall meet again. It was in that garden that You prayed, “Let Your will be done Father. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Let Your will be done in every home across America. In every city, office building, and church from the West coast to the East coast, from the flats of the North to the southern hills of Texas and beaches of Miami. Our cry is that Your will be done. Let Your love be poured out on this dry and weary land. This land of broken, hurting people cries out, “Abba, Father!” And the heavenlies reply with chorus and dancing. For these are the last days when your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions. For Your Spirit is poured out to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. May the Lamb of God receive the reward of His suffering.

And afterward I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your
young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:28 AMP)

Thank you Papa

Loving Africa!! I wrote out a huge thing to post but then it wouldn’t copy from Word to post on here.. You can send me your email and I can personally send some updates to you as soon as possible. I am praying for you all and I am soaking up every single moment here. I am literally getting wrecked by God. He is giving me His ompassion for people and I am falling in love with Him more and more. Thanks for all your prayers and support!! Be blessed. xoxo

He remembered us in our low estate. His love endures forever. And freed us from our enemies. His love endures forever.

Wow!!! What a day.. I woke up at 2am to rearrange my current flights and got done making a gazillion calls and arrangements at 4:18pm. Needless to say; God totally came through and I am now flying out of Seattle Sept. 29th at 9:50pm to arrive in JFK at 5:56am (Friday). From JFK at 11:15am, I fly to Joburg, South Africa and arrive at 8:35am on Saturday.. Staying the night in Joburg that night and arrive in Pemba, Mozambique at 1:10pm on Sunday!!!! FINALLY.

As it gets closer, it gets more real. I am ready for this life change. I am ready to change lives and be a giver of love. I am so so ready to just experience more of Daddy’s goodness and love and to also share that with the 200+ students there in Moz. Can’t wait to hold the bb’s and heal the sick and break down the walls of religion as we know them.

I will miss home. But I feel as if I’m going “home”. My heart left for Africa 4 years ago when I first fell in love with it. I give praise to my Jesus who got me this far and continues to show me more and more clearly the plans He has for me. It has been one heck of a “journey” so far. I cannot contain my excitement when I think about being in that place and meeting these people for real who I’ve met over facebook through the school. So ready :)

Never Give Up.

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 02:15:00 -0400

My heart will never give up, no matter how big the fight. I am at my emptiest point right now; letting the Father fill me and overflow. I have never been so far to feel so defeated(circumstantially). But that still small voice inside me continually tells me to keep going. He tells me that I have not come this far to wimp out, to quit, or to give up on His plans for me. His plans for good and not for evil. His plans for success and to prosper me. His plans that He knew from the beginning of time, before I was a mere thought in my parents’ minds. O’ God, my God. He is good; He is faithful. Just like the times of old, He will come and show His faithfulness. He will rain down and bestow a harvest among this dry land. He will dance and shout. He will rejoice with His love over this desert heart. And out of that springs new life. And from that new life this heart shall not last as a desert but live a forest.

—This is my cry tonight as I have not yet received my passport w/ visa back from the Embassy. Oh what a glorious day it will be when that document is in my hands.. Until then, this is me being raw and real and out in the open. I am trusting in my Daddy God to take care of this whole thing: Rearranging flights, retrieving my passport, and just plain getting to Africa.

Thank you Father for your grace and mercy and most of all for your everlasting love. That you didn’t get me this far so that I wouldn’t make it. Praise your name and to God be all the glory!

I’m not saying that I have this all together; that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal where God is beckoning us onward— to Jesus. I’m off and running and not turning back.

So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision— you’ll see it yet! Now that we are on the right track, let’s stay on it. (MSG)

If you can use nothing, Lord. Use me.

Wow! Can’t believe today, next week I’ll be spending the night in Joburg (South Africa) and flying to Pemba (Mozambique) the next morn. Freakin’ insane. It has seriously taken miracle after miracle after miracle just to get to this point and I’m not even there yet!!! I have learned most of all to praise Him even before seeing everything come together in the natural. This has been the most radical spiritual journey of my life so far. I can’t even put it into words; it’s a heart matter. It’s been all about trusting and depending on Daddy God thus far and continually. This is real life: to trust Him and to know that He works it together for my good. Knowing who I am in Christ has been a journey I have ventured on in the 3 short months that I have been preparing for this “trip”. Knowing that I’m loved has gotten me through some of the toughest situations I have faced this Summer. My God is God of the Universe; the author and finisher of my salvation and He loves me.

I want to be in Pemba now so I can meet everyone who has been through all the trials as I have to just simply, arrive. I want to hold all the precious babies and just let them know they are deeply loved and so deeply cared for. I want to learn under the amazing couple who started Iris Ministries and literally be a sponge for the things God has there. Yet a sponge, I also want to be used and be wrung of everything all over again everyday. I want to witness healings and signs and wonders like Jesus did in His day. Completely wrecked by His love.

To think of all these things keep me up at night, every night until I get there. I go with no worries but pure joy and excitement, and expectation. It overwhelms my heart to the highest degree. I just love Jesus. There’s no other way I can say it.

1 last week.

I’m beginning the first phase of packing today… It’s a little stressful seeing as I’m packing for my 3 months in Africa whilst packing my room and belongings to get ready to move. With one week left here; it’s time to put my game face on. Cheers!
