hey all!!!

Happy belated turkey day!!! i hope everyone had as much fun as i did! the interns all rented out at cabin type place and had a big fiesta w/ oodles of comida!!! i'll post some pics for ya'll.

there is only about 3 weeks left of the internship! let me tell you, this has flown by! it seems like every year of my life is moving faster and faster. my day of birth is ever drawing nearer and nearer- Dec. 14, i'll the be the big 22!! dang! i'm excited to be celebrating it w/ all these sweet peeps here in KC!!

i'm for real, unable to even begin to write about what God is doing in my heart! i definitely don't want to just go on and on, which i have a tendency to do, but He's so amazing!!! like usual, getting rid of the crap w/in and bringing me low! revealing the Cross to me and what that entails. what it truly means to take up my cross daily. to live is to die! i'm dead to self and alive in Christ! HE is all i need!!! He is the only one i desire! all else fades away when i'm in His presence!

God is beginning to place a message w/in me that i'm unable to articulate right at this moment. it's a very weird feeling, yet i know that it's His work so He'll get all the glory! this time here has been an ever increasing pursuit into the knowledge of God. i've been so blown away w/ the reality of who we are as humanity- sinful, disobedient beggars, and the reality of who this God is- HE's totally other than, He's HOLY, where He is there can be no evil(sin), He is uncreated, no beginning, no end, always pure, always true! This shows me how much we needed a savior!!!! w/out Jesus, we're nothing. i love psalm 16- my goodness is nothing apart from You. I NEED JESUS!!! and i need the revelation of what HE's saved me from to actually begin to allow my heart and my life to be a constant worship that is every before His throne!

i'm so utterly excited for what God's doing in Duluth. i haven't heard all of it, but from what i've read in emails and whatnot, i'm pumped! it's so crazy to be somewhere else while all this is going on, yet my heart for Duluth has only increased since i've been here. i've interceeded for Duluth more than ever before!!!

i just wanted all in Da-luth to be encouraged, to be motivated to keep going! keep pressing in! keep reaching, seeking Him out! keep knocking!! Press in and never look back!!! God is really raising the bar and looking for those who are truly going to seek His face and His face alone! this whole prayer meeting idea is the bomb! it's been on my heart as well! isn't Jesus the best?! i love how HE's keeping me connected to the vision and the heart of those in Duluth. and so...i'm super duper pumped to go to the Onething Conference w/ all ya'll!!! (haha that's a little southern for ya) to have unity amongst the group and to allow us all to go into something expecting God to move and speak to our hearts!!

i'd just like to ask for everyone to be praying for me regarding my release from the bubble(IHOP) hahahaha. no, seriously, though, i'd really love it if you'd be praying for me about the transition from IHOP to home and all that comes w/ that. also, for my finances!!
thank you so much! i love you all and i'm pumped to see you once again!

be blessed!

hey lo!!!

so...yeah, happy birthday joel! it's a little late i have to say, but it still counts.

i know, i know, i haven't written on here forever!!! i'm officially a bad blogger! haha well...i want everyone to know that i love you even more than ever, regardless if i'm really bad w/ communication!

God has been transforming me like no other! i have novels of what He's been doing in my heart. i really feel the call to go back to Duluth after the internship! thanks for all your prayers in regards to my decision. i think it's so funny how we can make our plans, but the Lord will determine our steps!!! i love leaning on this verse! i was actually thinking about possibly staying here in KC for a short time after the internship, but i love the leadership of Jesus!! He's so good!!! i've slowly, day by day been able to "mourn" the departure of this wonderful place! granted, i know i'm going to ball my eyes out whenever i leave, but i love that i'm feeling the release w/in my heart to "go". so yes....Duluth here i come in a month! and then...............
Norway here i come for a long time!!!! i really feel the call to the Norge country following my time here at IHOP! so...you all can be praying about this leap for me, that would be greatly appreciated!!!

i'm blown away w/ how fast this time here has gone by. i wouldn't have asked for it any other way. i've met the most amazing people who are genuinly going after the heart of God and encouraging me to go w/ them! i love AMY!!! she's been my best friend here for sure. what can i say, we have too much in common it's almost not funny. yes...we were both in girl scouts!! whoop whoop!!! i love how God places people in your life who have gone through similar things and you feel so closely knit w/ them! Thank you Jesus!!!!

i've been enjoying my classes A LOT!!! getting revelation of truly who Jesus is! dang!! i want the reality of this man on the cross. the One who died for all humanity to hit my heart, not just my head! what did He feel? wow! He's really blowing me away w/ who He is!! and i'm praying that He's doing the same w/ you!!

i have to jet, but i wanted everyone to know that i'm going strong. excited for this last month. and i'm pumped for what God's doing in you! let me know what He's showing you and doing in you!! can't wait to see ya'll!!! hehe

much love,
