"Therefore go and make disciples of ALL nations... and I will be with you ALWAYS!" Matthew 28:19

And the Lord asked me, "whom shall I send? and who will go for me?" and with everything in me I replied, "Here I am, Lord! I will go! Send me!!" me and God's conversation after I read Isaiah 6:8.

Jesus is the BEST!

“How GREAT the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God and that is what we are!!” 1 John 3:1
Oh this week has been so so so good. The Lord’s love is so amazing… nothing compares, truly!
One of my favorite things here is my morning time with Jesus. I’m up around 4:45 or 5 and I get to watch the sunrise, pray, spend time in the Word, and just spend time with the One who romances me in the most intimate ways. Oh how I am so in love and content in my Savior. There is nothing like Him. Nothing can satisfy like Him. I truly understand what Heidi means when she says “I just want to sit with Jesus ALL day. I never want to leave His presence.” I fully understand and feel the same way. I could spend the rest of my life in His arms. There is no better place. I have found true contentment… oh praise Him! I just want nothing other than Jesus. I could spend hours and hours with Him. He satisfies me to the inner core… completely and fully. I am so in love with Him.
I just have so much going on in my mind… so much to process.
Monday- what a wonderful day. The Lord is doing SO much in my life. He is changing things… He has full control. If you know me well, you know I LOVE to plan. I’ve had my whole little life planned(pretty much) since I was a little girl. Graduate college(get married somewhere in there-during or after) and then head to the mission field. Well, Jesus is changing up those plans. I no longer want to plan my future. I have no desire to do it. I am just resting with Jesus. I am just following His lead. I have learned that He sees the big picture and He is a MUCH BETTER planner than me. So, I gave up all my rights, all my life…and He can do whatever He wants. I trust Him. After all, He has plans to PROSPER me. So, I am just a laid down lover and we’ll see where He takes me. I am on a journey with Him. He is leader, the one in control. And I have perfect peace. PERFECT peace. I LOVE not having my life planned. I will share these plans when I come home… or later on… maybe. For now, my heart and life is to be poured out to the youth girls that God has given me SUCH a PASSION for. I am SO thankful for that passion. I love those girls. And I have other things to do… but things have changed. Woah, Jesus.
Monday night we had a wonderful worship service and speaker. He spoke to us about wisdom and imparted the Lord’s wisdom to us. AMAZING! God is so incredible
Tuesday-. Each one of our houses is assigned to mentor a group of girls. Well, we were going to hang out with them and one of our girls was in bed. She got up and she was BURNING up with a HIGH fever. She was SO sick. She was BURNING up!!! Like burning our hands when we touched her. Well, we prayed for her and it INSTANTLY went away. We felt her skin go back to normal and her fever BREAK. It was the coolest thing!! WOAH Jesus!! Well, when we told another girl she said Wow, she’s been in bed sick with a fever for 3 days. Well, not anymore!! She was HEALED!!! The sweet little girl said, “oh I feel so much better!!” Like are you kidding me! Jesus is SO amazing. My faith grew even MORE!
The Lord showed me that I need to start prophesying over myself.
Our speaker talked about BREAKTHROUGH today and then after he finished we had to declare BREAKTHROUGH in our life, family, school, city, etc. It was POWERFUL. Woah! I am believing for SO much!
One of my friends had a vision about me… When I dance, keys are coming out of me. The people watching me(around me) are in chains and as I dance the keys to their freedom are coming off and out of me onto them and unlocking their chains. Freedom comes through my dance. PRAISE THE LORD!
Wednesday-
Stacy Campbell is here! She is amazing.
I had homemade, health food ice-cream. YUM. It definitely “hit the spot”! I’ve missed my health food sweets. Everyone here is eating chocolate ALL the time so it’s made me miss my “sweets” so much. Yay, thank you Jesus for honey, bananas, and milk…. I promise it’s REALLY good!
Thursday-
I really wish I could explain all that God is doing in my life. The Lord is just “wowing” me. BOTH speakers spoke to us back-to-back about receiving the keys to the kingdom of heaven and bringing them down and unlocking things and binding up things. Shaba! They didn’t know the other one preached on it… can you say Jesus wanted us to get that this morning! After they finished I was LAID out, WEEPING, on the ground… I could NOT move. I was SO basking in God’s glory. It was SO strong on me… I couldn’t move. I was WEEPING. I was feeling God’s heart for the people that don’t know how much He loves them. I was having vision after vision. I was in a VERY intimate place with the Lord. He was revealing so much. I have some huge responsibilities that He asked me to posses. He says I’m worthy because He paid the price… and He’s right.
Alex and I made guacamole!!! It was so good! A little taste of HOME!! Ha… we like when we can find something like that. We will definitely be making that more often. It’s a great snack/meal. It’s not as good as home but it “hits the spot!”
Friday- I slept until 8 am! I haven’t been able to do that since I got here. It felt AMAZING to get 10 hours of sleep. I haven’t gotten that much since I’ve been here. Oh thank you, Jesus! Alex and I went to buy presents for everyone! I feel like we accomplished a lot and it made me happy!
Its practical missions day so I get to check sweet kiddos eyes and spend time with them.
We had a worship party tonight. It was the end of our 24/7 week of prayer. Such an amazing week and night. God is really moving in all of our hearts!

The Word is coming so alive in my life! I LOVE reading scripture. I LOVE it. I LOVE reading through whole books of the bible in one sitting. I LOVE it. I LOVE what Jesus is doing in me! I just love Him! I read through Song of Solomon this morning(Thursday).
This weekend will be full of rest. It’s been a tiring week and next week will be crazy! We have tons and TONS of speakers coming. All the AMAZING speakers and missionaries around the world that you would dream about meeting and listening to we get to hear next week! We are having 3 sessions with 4-5 speakers every day next week. So, I don’t know when I’ll be back on the internet! It might be a week or a little more!
Thank you all for praying continually. I appreciate it so much. I am so blessed!
One of my life verses now… “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of LOVE, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:1
My desire is to be an imitator of God. I want to live a life of LOVE. I don’t want people to see me… I want them to see Jesus. I want people to know and grasp how much Jesus loves them because of how I represent Him.
