Wow, it's been a while since I've posted a blog.
But for good reason. I've been a bit busy. In the last few months I have gleaned as much as I can from the International House of Prayer and then I packed up my things, said goodbye to dear friends and started the journey back to the West Coast.
My dad, my dog and me. Six days in a car traveling through some of the most beautiful parts of the country. When I look at nature and the huge mountains in Colorado or the beautiful majestic skyline of the Midwest, I can't fathom anyone not believing that there was a Creator and an Artist behind it all!! I had an amazing time in the car with my dad (and Lulabelle). We explored new parts of the country, prayed and read books in the car & stirred up each others hearts for the house of prayer and what God is doing in Southern Oregon.
I have been home almost a week now and it feels like a completely new place. The Lord has done so much in my heart over this past year and I know I will never be the same. I'm not looking to the past and my old mistakes. The chains are broken and I am free. I am living for eternity and with a new mindset. It is so obvious that His hand is upon this house of prayer. He is already raising others up from Kansas City and sending them here!! He is bringing people together in this Valley for ONE THING!! We are becoming a people of ONE THING!! I desire to dwell in the House of the Lord forever!! I want to live a life that is set apart for His glory. I don't want to be an echo of 'American/Western Culture'. I want to be a voice crying out in the wilderness!! I want to see Ashland set free and on fire for God. I want to see chains and shackles broken off of people and for their eyes to truly be open to see Jesus for who He really is. He is not in the same category as Muhammad, Buddha or Krishna!!! He STANDS ALONE!!! He is the ONE true God. And there is NO other!
So needless to say.. I am excited! I am a part of God's History being unfolded, for such a time as this! I've said it before and I will say it again. If you feel called to the prayer movement we are in need of Singers, Musicians, Prayer leaders etc... The door is wide open and it's just in the beginning stages.
Also because of this new transition in my life and the time, effort and energy that I feel I am called to give to this. I am postponing my Africa trip to an 'undecided' time. For all of those who have so generously given to this trip.. thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :) I will be refunding all the money. I have always had an adventurous heart and I love travel, so I know that many missions trips are in the future! So I will keep you up to date with new things that unfold with that!!
So until next time...
