Transition and barreness…

I think I realized with this recent transition, that I’m not that good at change. Nearly every time there is a new change it takes a couple of weeks for me to adjust. So thats where I am at. I actually don’t think thats good, and so I am looking forward to the Lord working this out of me.

I’ve been having a sweet but barren time. The Lord has been reminding me that even though I am not “feeling” Him like I want to, and I’m having a hard time. He is still who He says He is. I love being reminded of this because so many times I base things off of my emotions and feelings. But He is still amazing, and good and faithful. And He is still worthy of me giving Him my all, even when I don’t feel like it.

Also, another little nugget that I learned was that even in those times that I’m not feeling Him, and I keep saying yes, it sets me up for encounter in the future. My spirit is coming alive, and I’m more sensitive to the Lord and what He is doing. Its amazing! I love the way the Lord works!

So I will never give up, or stop wasting my life on Him! I am in LOVE! And nothing will stop me from giving myself to HIM! Its a beautiful romance!

 

I’m BACK! :)

I made it today! I am back in Burlington, NC. Tomorrow I am back in my “home” prayer room. IHOP-AC! Its pretty exciting, but I do miss all of my friends in Atlanta!

The Lord is really amazing in my life. I am so thankful for Him and for all He is doing. I am looking forward to living the standard of holiness that He has called me to. Its only by His grace and strength.

I’m really happy to be back! Praise the Lord for an amazing summer!

 

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary MOM AND DAD!!!! I think you’ve been married 35 or 36 years today! Wow! Congratulations! I love you so much! I hope you have a wonderful day! If you read this I want you to know I can’t find my phone charger and so my phone is dead :(. But I’ll call from someone else’s phone!

LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!

 

Poison Ivy…

Looks like I have a pretty awful case of poison ivy.

How’d I get it you ask?

That’s an easy answer…I was playing in the woods! and wearing a dress and flip flops. I know, I know…not very smart. I realize that now. But it was a lot of fun. Hanging with my pals Audria and Wesley, in the woods and through the trails around the blueberry looking trees. It is definitely a memory I will not forget.

So today is 1 week I’ve had it. And I haven’t put any medicine on it frequently. But this morning I woke up and I was itching so bad I couldn’t do it anymore. I broke down and put calamine lotion on it. So at the moment there are only like two spots on my legs itching, instead of like 50.

You may not be able to see if very well…but I promise it’s there. I don’t remember having chicken pox since I had them when I was 5 months old, but I imagine that this is something like it.

 

Its all over…

So this ends one chapter of my life, and another begins. Its a bittersweet thing. I will dearly miss all of my very amazing new friends. But I am so excited to go stand on the wall and build His house in NC! Here is a picture of me now….I LOVE YOU all that were in the internship with me and who are still in ATL!

I’m hanging out with friends in ATL until Friday, then driving back to Burlington to drop off my car, and then a weekend in Washington DC for The Call! Woohoo! Then finally back to IHOP-AC! Yay!

 

1 day…Stone Mountain

We went to Stone Mountain and spent a few hours! It was fun! Here are the pictures!

 

3 days…80’s party and hang out

We had an amazing surprise 80’s birthday party for one of the guys who are full-time staff in the night watch. I don’t have the pictures yet, but I will soon so I will put them up! Here are pictures from our hang out time later in the night!

 

2 days…Graduation Dinner

All of the interns graduated on August 8th! 08/08/08! My roomie, Carol, surprised me by coming down from Burlington and coming to my dinner!

Here are pictures!

 

4 days…Dinner with Night Watch

Today was an amazing day. We had a sweet time of community communion. Then we headed off to a rooftop graduation dinner for the interns! Here are a few pictures from today!

 

5 days…IHOP-AC

5 days left. This was our last Tuesday. This week is GBF so we have all-staff intercession on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 4 pm. Today during intercession all of the staff prayed for the interns. There are three internships here in Atlanta. The Pursuit Internship, Intro, and The Watch. So altogether there are 19 interns. So we all were getting prayer! It was amazing.

I was able to give my testimony about my internship and the house of prayer that I am full-time at, IHOP-AC, during an Encounter Service one night. Billy Humphrey called me up, so many people know that I am part of another house of prayer, and that I am going back there because the Lord is going to make us 24/7!

So two ladies started praying for me. I was so encouraged! I know that it is the Lord’s will for me to go back and stand on the wall there. I know that He has a strategic plan for why I am helping build that house. And I know that we are in a strategic location. In the middle of the Piedmont Triad area. The Lord just really confirmed and encouraged me in such an amazing way! I was so blessed! The Lord has zeal for IHOP-AC and I can’t wait to see all that He does! Things are shifting and shaking in North Carolina because of the prayers of His children!

I can’t wait to be back! Zeal for His house has consumed Him and its consuming me! (Ps. 69:9)
