Tuition Deadline Met!
Just a quick update to let you all know that God provided all the money I needed for the down payment of my tuition this semester! Hallelujah! We may think He is late, according to our limited perspective, but His timing is perfect from Heaven's perspective! Now I'll continue to lean on Him for each month's payment to finish off tuition!

Trusting Abba
Well, I am three days away from starting the second semester of FSM (Forerunner School of Ministry) at IHOPU and still trusting my Heavenly Daddy to provide the rest of the money needed to begin classes. Originally I needed $1100 to pay half and be able to get on a payment plan, but He has graciously provided $600 of that amount through generous supporters.
So now I only need $500 more before Monday, and He is faithful to meet all my needs according to His riches and glory!
I have struggled with gripping fear that He won't provide and will leave me stranded, unable to continue growing in the way I need to in this season. But when those feelings of fear overwhelm me, I just speak the truth out loud over myself:
- God will never leave me or forsake me
- If God gave up His only Son for me will He not graciously give me all things?
- If we as human parents are evil and know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more will God give good things to those who ask Him?
He called me here, so He will provide:)
If you feel led by the Lord to help me financially in any way, just click on the button that says "DONATE" to the right and give with your credit/debit card via Paypal.
Blessings to you!

I want more presence!
During one of the prayer meetings that we had as a freshman class towards the end of the semester, Holy Spirit inspired the worship leader with a song that encapsulates my heart's desire and everything that God has been teaching my heart this first semester at IHOP. The song goes:
"What do we want for Christmas?
We want more presence
We want more presence (repeat)
So I'll look underneath the tree that You died on for me for more presence" (repeat)
All that I desire to have and become was made available to me at the foot of the cross, through the spilt blood of my Jesus. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places" (Eph. 1:3)
God is my Father who wants to give me good gifts, gifts of His love, peace, joy, revelation, wisdom, and grace. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights who does not change like shifting shadows." (James 1:17)
When I, as His daughter, ask for bread, He will not give me a stone. When I ask for fish, He will not give me a scorpion. He delights to give me the desire of my heart, which is to be just like Him.
Each gift is an attribute of God's character. Each is placed before me, ready for me to discover with delight the treasure hidden inside! And this is eternal life that they know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent" (John 17:3)
Father, give me a revelation of my inheritance through the finished work of Jesus on the cross this Christmas season and throughout the New Year. May every day be Christmas in 2013!
