Exciting things are coming up:

1) Tuesday, March 3rd, I leave for IHOP-KC to go to the Passion for Jesus conference!

2) I’d really like to go visit my best friend and her baby Paityn, the weekend of March 14th. But I am still praying for the finances to do that. It’s about 170 dollars for a plane ticket.

3) The weekend of March 28th, it looks like the internship is going to take a short retreat to Washington D.C. We are going to visit the Holocaust Museum as well as Justice House of Prayer. Jess’s father lives there so we will be visiting him as well!

4) The last weekend in April, Jess and I as well as our lovely host mother, Becky, will be taking a girls retreat to the beach for a weekend! We are really excited about some warm weather, hopefully.

Extra picture I wanted to add for fun. Not during a sunny day.

Last night we had our 2nd community night for Immersed. Every Saturday night we eat dinner together, and then we invite anyone who wants to, to come over and hang out with us. Last night we spent hours playing instruments and worshiping the Lord. We had two guitars, a piano and a violin. We also had a cello but no one knows how to play it, yet. It was a great time of fellowship and being with the Lord! Here are some pictures!

This is Becky Burns! She is the wonderful lady who had taken me and Jess in as her children!!

This is me trying to play the piano. I really really want to learn so bad. I’m praying for lessons!

Jess is a phenomenal violinist!  And she uses it to worship the Lord!

This is Sammo on the guitar, he is a worship leader and also uses his gift to bless the Lord!

Wesley also has skills on the guitar and LOVES worshiping Jesus more then anything else!

This is the Immersed Family portrait taken with our new dog MOSES! He is HUGE! And very slobbery…you can see that my pants are actually wet from his slobber…

This is some friends of ours who went to Liberty University with some of us. Adair and Caleb! They spent time worshiping with us!

WE LOVE YOU JESUS!!!

I have officially moved in.

I now live with two of the sweetest people! Tom and Becky Burns.

I have a new roommate. Jess Wright. She is also one of the interns for Immersed.

We live in a huge room together, and I sleep on a brand new mattress! I’m really excited about that! haha…

The Lord has blessed me immensely!
and…

I’m happy.

Also, Tom Burns has a website company. He does the IHOP-AC website!

He is great! If you have any need for your website check his website out!

Having your website redone, or optimized will make you…

Happy.

I blogged about IHOP-AC needing 10,000 dollars by the 16th here.

On Monday the 12th, we prayed about it during intercession. Monday afternoon the Lord provided the 10,000 dollars! HE IS SO AMAZING!

His provision makes us…

Happy.

And He delights in giving gifts to His children so it makes Him…

Happy.

God is really good. Thank You, L0rd!

I have a permanent home for the next 4 months! Praise the Lord!

I will be posting more once I get settled.

I have so many things on my mind for posts. So check back!

God is moving and Immersed Consecration has started!

Jesus is AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!

Immersed Consecration starts TOMORROW!

We have two interns. Jess Wright and Sam Chou. I am very excited because I know that the Lord has a lot in store for all of us.

————————————————————–

Also, I moved. I felt the Lord leading me to live with Jess, the intern, and so I moved to a house where the both of us could live.

But then things change. The boys had housing available and just yesterday we found out that it is not going to work. So there are probably going to be some sacrifices made and some more moving. So I have yet to know exactly where I am going to be living. But I’ll let ya know.

IHOP-AC will be closing on our building Jan. 16th, Lord willing. We need 10,000 dollars by Thursday!  If you would like to donate or help out in funding the prayer movement you can donate:

The end of this year we call 2008 is looking like it will be an exciting one for me!

My traveling starts on the 20th. Where I will be driving to my parents house of Florida for Christmas.

On Sunday the 21st I will be going to Busch Gardens, in Tampa, Florida, with my sister, her husband, her two boys and my two nieces. It will be a lot of fun! I can’t wait. I will get to play in all of the kids park, and I won’t look weird because I will actually have kids with me!

From the 22nd until the 24th I will be running around getting in all my visits with friends.

The 24th we will go to a Christmas Eve service and then we celebrate Christmas that night.

Christmas day will  be a day of relaxing with family.

Off I drive back to North Carolina on the 26th. Last time I drove back here, my car broke down and delayed me by a day. This cannot happen this day. I will leave early in the morning and hope to make it back that night.

Because the 27th through the 2nd I will be in Kansas City, Missouri! I will be at the OneThing Conference. A group of 15 of us are driving out there the 27th. It is roughly a 15 hour drive. Then the conference starts the 28th and goes until the 31st. We will be staying until Friday so that we can get some time in the prayer room at IHOP-KC.

When I get back on the 2nd, I am then getting in my car and driving an hour away from where I live here in Burlington to visit my wonderful friends the Sloanes! I am going to be staying with them for the weekend to catch up.

Then back in the prayer room!! The 12th starts the Immersed Consecration!! Where I will not be going anywhere basically for 4 months! Woohoo! I’m really excited about this time and what God is doing here at IHOP-AC.

So these are my traveling days ahead. I’m sure there will be many posts about my trips as well as many pictures! So look forward to more!!

So if you want to watch something that might be slightly entertaining then watch this video.

Sorry Dad, that I didn’t listen very well when you told me all those years growing up to stop rubbing my nose.

Here is our promo video!!!
