And the Lecture Phase has come to a close!

As hard as it is for me to believe....I have been in hawaii for about three months now...and in about 2 days I am headed off to Switzerland to start our 3 month tour to the nations! Looking back on it all...I can hardly recognize the person I was when I first stepped off the plane in the Kona airport....I was excpecting radical change...but I didnt know it would be this radical....my biggest hope and prayer was that Iwould learn how to love God and love others with all my heart and I feel like I have achieved that( or am well on my way :))God's timing was so perfect in sending me here...because I could not have handled everyday life....and the life that Christ is calling me too without this process! I just wanted to say such a sincere thank you for all of you being so supportive in what I have been doing...I could not have done any of this growth or change without your diligent prayers and support! You guys have shifted the heavens with your prayers and I have felt so protected by the Holy Spirit since I have been here :) Internet connection will be a little bit iffy overseas but we should have a decent connection in Switzerland and Italy so I will keep all of you posted with my travels through blogging and pictures( thanks to my lovely mom I now have a beautiful camara :)) so I will keep you as close as I can while I am on tour :) Continue prayer for our travels and that all of our baggage would be kept in order and that none of it would get lost or stolen while we are traveling for 38 hours.....again thank you all somuch for your support and I love you guys!!!! Blessings :)

God provides :)

Let me start off by saying that our God is a good God who provides for the big and the little things in life! it is so beautiful the things that happen when you listen to Gods still, small voice....He is so amazing and He always works in the ways that you least expect he will!! Praise the Lord for He is worthy of all our praise! Sorry if it sounds a little crazy....but I am just so overwhelmed with how God seriously comes through everytime even when you think He wont he will!! even when I have hardly any faith He still provides and loves me just the same! It is truly amazing the God we serve and I am so in awe of His power and His love for me....wow....i cant even understand why a God so perfect and amazing would have somuch love and affection for me....when I have done nothing but sin against Him....it blows my mind......But he is a faithful and generous God and He will always provide with not only just enough but a little bit more....just like he fills us up not to be just full to the brim....but to overflow onto others so they might feel the love that Christ has for them for themselves :) I dont really have much else to say that can top how good of a God we serve....but I am really starting to get insanely excited for outreach and I know that god is going to contiue to fill my cup with His love.......I Love you guys!!!!!! May God bless you all so abundently :)

Rehersal, rehersal.......and more rehersal.....!!!!

I apologize it has taken me so long to write this week! I have been in nonstop rehersal from the beginning of this week....but the good news is that we are going on outreach in 2 weeks!!!! I am getting so excited to finally go and share everything I have learned here and be able to grow somuch through all the amazing things we are going to do on outreach :) I am blown away at how awesome the production is so far! our leader keeps telling us we are the best DTS she has had yet :) I am sure she says that everyear but it still makes us all feel good :) This week in lecture we had a speaker named Jason Mae who felt a huge calling to the Asian nations for his life and shared with is how many radical things are happening in the asian continent right now! South korea is sending out the most missionaries in the world right now....and it is spreading rapidly through out its communist neighbors. It was such an awesome week to get to be enlightened of all the amazing things he is doing in the asian culture! Our speaker had to leave on thursday, so this morning we had a man named Dan Baumann come and tell us a little bit about his story of getting imprisoned in Iran for 9 weeks! It was such an amazing story of Gods power and pervision! I was very moved and inspired :) He had a very compelling story about a vision that he got from God when he was in an airplane into Afganistan....as he was nearing the airport he bagan to feel his heart filling with fear about what he was going to encounter when he was in Afganistan....as he was praying God showed him a vision of Jesus waiting at the airport for him...rocking back and forth with excitment.....he said that he saw Jesus talking to a man about how excited he was for Dan to come and spend time with him.

And that Afganistan was the best place for Dan and him to become really close friends. And it hit me at that moment that that is exactly how God feels about me going on outreach! I welled up a little at the thought of Jesus being like that for me.....and eagerly awaiting my arrival in Switzerland in a few weeks...He is calling me to all those countries because he know that those are the places that I will be able to fall more and more in love with Him! I am so ready for that relationship to blossom :) A really cool quote that he said was the key to bringing the light of God over seas was "To fall deeper in love with God....and let others watch". This quote was so simple yet is struck such a deep note in my heart......all we have to do is love God and he will do the rest!!!I am so excited to fall deeper and deeper in love with Him through out this next season of traveling!!!

Here is some information about when I leave and when I come back :)

I Leave Hawaii on June 28th and come back to Hawaii on the 15th of September but I will not be back in Ventura till around the 19th of September.

We start off in Switzerland and go to Italy from there, then to Greece and Egypt.

Some prayer requests are simply for the Nations we will be going to along with overall finances for our team......I know that we are going to be able to see many miracles in these next few weeks with everyones finances....but continue to pray and ask for Gods pervision for everyone....as hard as it is for me to say I still have about 3,500 left for my outreach but I know that God is humbling me and teaching me to rely completly on His pervision...He has provided for me this far, and I am confident that he will provide all that I need and even more for my team and staff memebers :) If you are interested in donating to my outreach please email me at surfr_grl180@yahoo.com and I will let you know who to send the support to :) thank you all somuch for your continued support! I could not do any of this without you :) I love you guys!

Do what you can do.....and God will do what you can't do......

All I can say is God is moving through somany people on this campus! I participated in a fundraiser last night and did a dance that was sincerely directed by the Holy Spirit! I am going to post the link from youtube so god can speak for Himself :) ENJOY!

Fire and Fregrance!!!!

Wow......I sincerely don't even know how to give an acurate discription of all the amazing things that have happened this week!! I have been released from the stronghold of passivity and have been filled with boldness......I have also been released of the stronghold of rejection and I have been filled with acceptance and contentment! We are serving a real....moving.....and powerful God. And He is coming sooner then we are all thinking.....and I am so pumped!

Tonight I was ignited like I have never been ignited before....
Our night consisted of worship lead by a 16 year old girl.....and her 18 year old brother asked holy fire upon the room......and it came!!! Not only did we feel it but we smelt a physical fire burning in the room......a smoke that I have never smelt before.....and it was insane!! I found myself completly eclipsed in his prescence......and the next thing I knew I was jumping and laughing like I have never laughed before!!!! the smell resenated in my nose and I continued to smell it for the rest of the night!! God is so good!!!!! He is real and he is moving so powerfully through his children....I feel that know that I am free from everything that was holding me back from fully excperiencing God....the He is going to give me new radical...and refreshing experiences with Him :) I cannot even contain my excitement right now!! Everytime I think about it I get chills down my spin in sucha good way......!!!!!!

For everyone who is reading this just know that god wants to connect with you like this too......I am no more spiritual or special then you are and he loves you just as much as he loves me............he will come to you if you go to Him........:) I love all you guys somuch and I cant wait for you all to be ignited in Christ :)

This is going to be a good week :)

Let me just start our by giving observance to our countries memorial day since our school could not afford to take the day off from rehersal.....so we celebrated with our dances ;) It was an interesting day because all the other schools on campus took the day off...as well as most of the staff on campus...so it was hard to come back from dance and have all of my roomates taking naps when I have to head straight back to dance... but it was still a good day to say the least :)

Our lectures this week are going to be so amazing! The talk is about spiritual warfare.....with an emphasis on realesing strongholds in our lives. Our speakers are from Tacoma, WA and their whole family comes and joines together as a team to speak to our group(as well as all the other schools on campus). When I first heard them speak I knew it was the voice of God through them! It was so awesome becasue even today they have already delivered our team of somany strongholds...I felt God preparing me for this week over the weekend and now I know why.....Just pray that I will be able to let go off any of the strongholds that I am carrying in my life right now...and just pray for my entire team...because I feel that god has alot to do in their lives through out this week as well :) It is to amazing how all of the week lectures have flowed to perfectly together....I feel like one topic and speaker just flow into the next....it is so awesome because it all feels connected instead of in scattered pieces. Also continue praying for funding because I and my team need the entire outreach paid in full by the end of next week....Just pray that God would abundently provide for our team and our staff members who are coming on outreach with us :)I will definently try extra hard to keep my blog updated this week because I truly feel that this week is going to be a break through week for not only me, but for my entire school! thank you somuch for you devoted prayers and I love you all somuch :)
