School is ending in a couple weeks! I dont know if to be excited or nervous....or BOTH! Hmmm...well, I'm trying to make some plans for the next few months and I really need to find a university in Kansas City if I want to move there next May (2011). If I find a few that I like, I will go and visit them to see how the schools are and compare them.
I also need to find a job, like NOW. So I can raise money to go to Kansas City and help my family while they pay for my school and living.
This woman who attends Burning Man [Ministries] on Saturday nights came up to me last week and told me that God had really put me on her heart and that she had been thinking about me the whole week. So she said, "I know you have been trying to go to Kansas City but are struggling and I just got this new job where I will be making more money than I need...so I want to help pay for your school/ time in Kansas City." I was like jusidnbceufbhebicebc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOMEEEE!! So even if the amount is small I know that's one step closer to stepping into my calling. :D glory to Jesus.
I'm excited for my future because I know that only IN CHRIST can I find true security. :)

So this is the New Year... :]
Man, I haven't been on this blog in forever because I thought I had forgotten my password...but I knew it the whole time, LAME.
Just to update this blog and who ever reads it, let me share with you what adventures and possible future endeavors that I have or will experience.
Well, to start off, I finished my semester at UTB not really all that pleased with my grades but it was also my first OFFICIAL college semester...so I lost my music scholarship for the Spring semester but I still have a God who is faithful to provide in every situation.
After Christmas, I went up to Kansas City, MO to attend OneThing '09 (which I mentioned in the previous blog), It was truly more than I could imagine. Just seeing all the snow was enough to feel in awe of Jesus...but it did not stop there!
At the conference, I learned, received, and soaked up so much! From the worship to the teachings...I was just stirred up with faith and MARKED by the love of my Father. One night, this random woman came up to me and asked if I was needing prayer or healing. I told her I needed healing for my big toe because I had sprained it badly back in October and it never had time to heal correctly. So she started praying for it, I decided to surrender religion and unbelief...and just wholeheartedly agreed with the healing that was happening. I ended up getting about 90% healed that night. The last night of the conference (New Year's Eve) was beyond incredible! Lou Engle (leader of TheCall) gave us a sacred charge to work toward justice especially when it came to the lives of unborn babies. The rest of the night was filled with incredible worship. I brought in the new year celebrating Jesus, His grace, and love with 20,000 other people who were also at Bartle Hall.
For the next two weeks, the craziness continued. I fell in love with just being at the prayer room. I wanted to spend everyday there and not leave because the atmosphere was so tangible with God's goodness. And of course I could not forget the amazing Student Awakening services held Wednesday-Saturday. After a few days of simply being in the presence of God, I noticed that my toe was 100% healed! No pain at all and I could finally move it completely (running, jumping, dancing, etc) Praise Jesus and his powerful love that heals us. I got a very large amount of deliverance from a Spirit of Rejection at the meetings....just feeling the love of my Papa. I couldn't let something like that hinder His love. He just broke through like no ones business! :D
There are also stories where God used me, in one case, I was praying for this woman because the Holy Spirit was touching her. I felt led to put my hand on the center of her back, a while after I did that she turned to me and said, "The place you have your hand in the exact place that I got injured in a car accident a couple weeks ago and now I feel a burning heat coming through your hand." We believed the Lord was healing her injury and He kept healing her throughout the night.
One of the greatest blessings the Lord gave me when I was there was on this day where I was in the prayer room enjoying His presence but all of a sudden started coughing a lot (I was sick the whole time I was up there because of the drastic weather change) But the coughing wouldn't stop and it eventually did when I ran to the restroom & drank some water. Anyway, it was the most random thing ever but I met a little old lady from Germany in the restroom. We made small talk for a couple minutes and then she said, "In the couple minutes we have talked, God has really given me a heart for you, can I pray for you?" I was like HECK YES! So as she started praying for me I felt the Spirit of God so present. She began prophesying over me, "You know you're called to be an evangelist. You're going to see signs and wonders in the nations! God is going to give you the spirit of boldness." Then as she went on I couldn't believe what I was hearing! It's like she knew every desire of my heart...the things she said had been spoken over me for years. I knew it was God because I had been praying for the Spirit of boldness and she kept declaring that over me. I just began to weep because the Omnipotent God who rules over the entire universe heard MY prayers! He knew me like no one else could know me...because some of the things she prayed I had never told ANYONE, just God.
God completely blew me away with what He had for me in KC. It was actually really sad leaving. I might do an internship there in July called Fire In The Night, if everything works out.
As I started this Spring semester, it's been pretty good. I think all my professors are nice and my classes don't seem too difficult. As for everything else, well God is taking care of it. :)
All I can say is, this is gonna be one heck of a year!

Autumn arrives.
I haven't posted in a while...(again), but I wanted to update this blog. So...things are pretty good right now. I am trying to seriously decide what college I want to transfer to next fall, etc. I've written one song that I called "Shalom Praise" and working on another called "Kingdom Come". Trying to still manage school and things. Even though I haven't seen any HUGE signs and miracles, I still get a lot of little answered prayers which re-enforces my faith in my God. :)
I'm also thinking of doing a summer internship at IHOP-KC. So when I go to OneThing '09 I will ask about their internships and check out their school/ church to see what's up. I'm staying 2 and a half weeks in total. I'm pretty excited!!
I started my job today! Singing in a catholic choir for the San Juan Basilica. It's great. I like that the music is more classical and we sing in Latin, english, and Gregorian chants. I think it's hilarious that they serve wine after practice...along with nuts, sandwiches, and chips...(plus other drinks) but WINE!?? seriously?!?! LOL. Of course only the 21+ people can drink...which is everyone but me, haha.
I'll close by saying: No matter what you're in God sees your heart. He doesn't look at our flesh because our flesh is wicked. Our hearts are where His hands mold us on the eternal Potter's wheel of life. NOTHING can seperate you from Christ Jesus or His meek love. He loves you and wants to give you the deepest desire of your heart. No matter how big or small, He is a Faithful Father. ~Selah

Update
So, I haven't posted in a while. In fact, I forgot I had a blog, lol. Yep, I've been pretty busy with school, church, etc.
Let me update you on my life... well, this week. :P I got an allergic reaction, at this surprise party for my friend Renée,to something in my drink (might've been a food dye or something else), then the next day I went to this other surprise party for Gabe at this ranch in Bayview & I got bit by some bug on my ankle & it was swollen for almost 5 days, I guess I was allergic to it also... :/
Anyway, enough of the bad things. There have been good things that have happened too! :)
At Burning Man on Saturday night this deaf young man named Fernando came for prayer. There were about 15-20 of us around him praying for his healing and declaring it. The bible says, "Whatever you loose on earth is loosed in Heaven" so we prayed multiple times and his ears began hearing faint noises for the first time in the guy's life!! Then we kept praying until he could hear his own voice when he spoke, he no longer had to read lips or have someone to sign to him. He also heard himself play the piano for the first time ever. :D God is awesome.
I feel like some things are really shifting in me. I don't know if I'm just starting to realize Colossians 3:2 on setting my affection on things of heaven and not the things of earth. But some things are changing, even my prayer focuses are shifting. I'm kind of excited to see what God's about to do. I have felt the enemy trying to crush me over & over but I'm dressed in the armor of God and He has adorned me with resurrection. So I have nothing to worry about.
One last scripture that's really been on my mind lately: 1 Cor. 13:12 "Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely."

burning man beach day
So some of us from Burning man went to the beach yesterday & had a CRAZYY night (we had fun, a bonfire [w/ s'mores & roasted weenies], & worship). We left around 11pm & had 6 cars. Two of the cars got stuck & they tried getting them out of the sand. The tide was getting really high. Then after they got one car out, two more got stuck, & there was a guy driving us to becca's & adriana's cars which were on higher ground then HIS truck broke down, at 4:35am Jonathan, Skylar, Ross, Gary, and Rudy's cars were all out there, the tide was fully in at the time & all they could do was wait. Ross's truck broke down & they decided they had to let the tide go down..so they ended up leaving at 6:30 am today & got home around 7am...INSANE!

Story of the week. :)
So, I just finished watching a Kingdom Culture conference from Bethel church in Redding, California. There were seven sessions. It was truly eye- opening! I got so much clarity & deep revelation when the speakers taught; even now as I meditate on it, it can truly change a person forever! I heard about this amazing revival that went on inside of Disneyland. For four and a half hours people were witnessing signs, wonders, & miracles inside the Disney food court!! That just goes to show you that God is everywhere & can move through anyone. :D
I really want to start doing some more ministry, especially in the street. I went with Rene, Dublin (Jesus), & Brenda to go minister. First, we went to pray for Rene's grandpa at this nursing home. We also prayed for his roommate, just to bless him. Then we were driving, we wanted to get some drinks from Sonic to cool off but we saw this homeless guy near the highway standing in the hot sun holding a sign. Brenda thought she knew him from a different week she went out to minister so we decided to buy him a McDonald's combo & go pray for him. He was truly grateful for the meal & told us he was going to share it with his wife. Then each one of us prayed for him & I knew the Lord was moving in his heart & making it tender again. We invited him to the Burning Man ministries place just to have somewhere to get shelter or anything. I went today for worship practice around 3pm & I saw him in a rusty big van, pulling out of the burning man ministries parking lot. I asked the guys inside if this man Chris came by & they all said no. They said they saw the van but he never got off the van. So I'm still praying & asking God to move in his heart. I was completely blessed by this tiny opportunity to minster, though!
Other than that God is great! Hopefully I'll get to go out there & just share the heart of Jesus with people who are hurt, broken, lost, & confused in the world.
