the luxury and not just the necessity.

God started the last few weeks instructing me to sow into specific lives seeds of luxury and not just like meeting the necessity. At first I didn’t understand it. I was like man shouldn’t I be paying their light bill or something? However, I really felt God leading me to do things like take them to a nice dinner, take girls to get manicures, etc. When I asked, the Lord said I will still meet their needs, but they need to know they are meant to have more than just electricity and ramen.
We are meant for excess. We are meant for success. We are meant for greatness. God created us to give large and live large.

On Saturday I was so excited because I saw the beginning of the return of all those seeds. I was blessed with an Aretha Franklin concert ticket and it was one of the greatest moments in my life. Not only because she is a living legend, not only because she is one of my favorites, but God was showing me too that not only are my bills and things taken care of, but he wants to remind me that I am created to have and ENJOY life.

In more ways than one, we as a nation are starting a new era. A new wave of the Spirit of God. A new revival to touch this land. Whether the picture above is a representation of that, or just the fact that sometimes God moves in ways we don’t understand. This one thing I know, when I pray God listens and His will is done. Period.
Whether I agree or understand is a footnote at the end of a page that no one really reads.

Get ready for the ride of your life.
Get ready for a moving of the spirit… like never before.

Word Given 9/15/08
Just as it was at the very beginning, that when the Word was spoken the affect of that word was made manifest, so it is now.
The Word is now. Now is the time of all things fulfilled. All prayers prayed. All visions seen. All dreams dreamed. The Spirit without measure. The Spirit with no requirements. The Spirit not experienced before. Not only here within the walls of the church but everywhere.
In the grocery store, at the gas station, at the mall... the outpouring of my surpassing presence.
The Word is now. So now... RECEIVE!

He is Lord

Oh blessed Lamb once slain
Will reign for evermore
His hands once bound now save
Our God will never fail

He is Lord
He is Lord
Sings my soul
He is the Lord
And He lives
Yes He lives
I’m alive
Cause Jesus lives

‘Tis at the cross of Christ
Where earth and heaven meet
Where sin is overcome
To God the victory

And now
Let the earth resound with praise
For our Saviour God He reigns
He is high and lifted up
Arise
For the King of glory waits
He is coming back again
He is coming back again


Not only did he do that for me, but I am able to do all things BECAUSE of what He did.

My God,
He NEVER fails.

this ain't no baby step.

I don’t even think anyone reads this… and that is just fine with me.
I am freaked out and yet so excited about my next step in life. The last 3 years has definitely been a great transition and growing process. I am moving to LA.
Let me just pause for a second and realize how amazing and insane that is……………………………
Okay… I am back.

Life is interesting and challenging, exciting and adventurous. There is no better time to live than now. So many people have come before me and had to wait until they were much older to step out into what God has called them to do. I am a part of a group that gets to be used by God and step up and help reach THIS WHOLE GENERATION even while I am young! It is just astounding to think that the God of the universe… the Father of all good things… trusts me to serve him and others, loves me for me, helps me grow, writes through me, sings to me, and gave me freedom to follow Him with joy.

Here we go into the new place.
A journey to never be forgotten.
A trail never taken.
And an outcome that will change me forever.

Follow me as I follow Christ.
You can do it.

sweep.

I pray for you enough to think you’re already here
I wonder when your face will finally be clear
Come and find me
Sweep me off my feet
Believe me, I promise you
It won’t end in defeat

It’s been a long road to get me to this place
I have finally forgot what’s-his-face
I know that you will be the one to help me see
All that I know God has created us to be.

I love you and miss you
Even though we’ve never met
So hurry up and come on
I promise that’s a move you won’t regret

finally.

I have finally found the middle line
Forgot which side was yours
Which side was mine
Not overlooking the memories made
But refusing to hold onto any of the pain

Thanks for teaching me
What not to look for
Always remember
I am stronger than before
You were not a waste of all my years
Just a waste of thousands of tears

You will be the reason
I make it with the man I’ve prayed for
And never just the man
I’ve settled for before
The happiest woman alive I’ll be
Even if the very last breath I breathe

Alone.
