Her love guided each one to the path of righteousness.
One, two, three, four tasted the fruit of peace and purity.
Time passed and one, two, three, and four eventually journeyed on to find another love.
She sits alone and betrayed, yet she continues to drift forward with a heart of clay.

Prayer.
When I pray, I talk to my Father.
When I pray, I seek His face.
When I pray, I hear His voice.
When I pray, I see His heart.
A life of communion with the Father through prayer is what I long for.
When I pray, I seek His face.
When I pray, I hear His voice.
When I pray, I see His heart.
A life of communion with the Father through prayer is what I long for.

It's 5am...
It is now 5am and once again I have become a night owl, and though I enjoy the pleasure of talking with God through the night, I do not, however, get the essential 8 hours science insists on me having.
Now, on to the deep thoughts..
I am realizing how essential prayer is in the Christian life. I am realizing that in order to accurately exercise the gifts that the Holy Spirit has dispersed throughout His body, we must spend time with our Creator and we must must urge our brothers and sisters to do the same so that we may grow together in Christ as well as the gifts He has given us.
God is so good. I am thankful for what has occurred in the past two days. I have seen another friend experience the fullness of God and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I have seen another sister as well as myself begin to understand the intercessory and prophetic gifting God has assigned and how it plays an integral role of in the body of Christ. I am truly blessed. How rewarding it is to see hearts that become fully surrendered to Father. How beautiful it is to see freedom and liberation come out of the very core of our innermost parts: the spirit man. May we all choose to be yielded vessels for the Father's glory.
What is most interesting, is how God orchestrates things perfectly. I really never thought I would get the chance to share His heart with the audience of the university I attend. I remember speaking with my very good friend and praying that God would make a way. He most certainly has.
I trust in Him. I know that whatever words He chooses for me to say will touch the hearts that attend the service. I must decrease so that the Christ in me may increase. His words bring life to the dead spirit. He resurrects and regenerates the lost spirit and grows flesh on the dead and dry bones of those who do not know Him. Christ is the Redeemer. Christ is the soon returning King and may we anticipate with urgent hearts for His return. I want to be a yielded vessel so that the Kingdom of Jesus Christ may come down here to earth.
Father,
I thank You for making a way. I thank You for being faithful and keeping the promises You made to me long ago. Forgive me for the times I doubted and wavered. Give me Your words tonight. I have not a clue what to say, but I know You do. I pray that You would anoint me and fill me up the very top so that Your words may flow out of the mouth and tongue You have taken. You are good. You are mighty. You are such a loving God and Your faithfulness will always endure. I ask that You would help me keep my gaze upon You always. I ask that You would give me the wisdom and discernment to know the times and to know the difference between Truth and falsehood.
I love You soo much!
In Jesus' name,
Amen

it's 3am...
It is now 3am and I am still pondering the things that have occurred in the past couple of days.
For months I have had dreams of disaster, and yet I still find that I am blown away by what has brought devastation to Japan.
The worst part is, there is more to come. It is promised. We can truly do nothing about it. These things were prophesied long ago.
Through the world's eyes, God is a vicious being who has no love or no concern for people on earth. They scream and mutter, "How can such a loving God bring forth such destruction?"
I hear the cries of these people, even the ones who claim there is no God, and my heart violently weeps for them. I see the disaster and the crushed spirits of those who have watched their loved ones drift into the unknown. I question as well, but through God's eyes I know there is love, justice, and mercy in the midst.
There soon will come a time where there will be perfect peace and there will be justice. God is perfect. He is the I AM. Our sin is like gross feminine rags to Him, and yet He still chose to make a way for us through Jesus.
How much longer will we pursue the desires of the world and ignore the Almighty who is beckoning our hearts towards His? How much longer will we live in denial of the soon returning King and ignore the signs He is giving us???? How long will it be until we choose to fully surrender ourselves to Christ so that we may be made one with the Father. HE IS LOVING. HE IS MERCIFUL. HE IS KIND. HE IS FAITHFUL. and yet we continue to run away from Him. We continue to pursue after this temporal world and the material things in it. We continue to find our satisfaction in people, alcohol, drugs, sex; fame, fortune, fashion; food... You name it... we run to it. When will we fix our gaze completely on the Father? When will we finally say yes to Him and no to this world???
I want to fully surrendered to the Father. I want to be radical for a radical God. He is the CREATOR of the universe.... He can DO as He PLEASES. And yet we limit Him.... We put our fixed theologies and formulas to Him and label it with Jesus when it really isn't Jesus at all. We must let it go... We must come back to the foundations of Jesus Christ... We must learn to be in the garden before the Father just as Jesus was.
I want to know my Father deeply. I want to know His heart. I want to know His voice so that I may not be deceived by the things that are quickly approaching in this world.
Father,
I ask that You would comfort Japan during this awful time. I ask that the Voice who calls the boundaries between the sand and the sea, would speak gently to the hearts of those mourning in Japan and around the world. I ask Father, that people would run to You during this time, and not harden their hearts or be offended by You, Lord. I ask that You would open the eyes of those who are ignoring Your prophecies in America. Forgive us, Lord for our wicked ways. Forgive us, Lord for our wayward hearts. I ask Lord, that You would fix my gaze so that it may be continually upon You and the things of the heavenlies. Purify my heart and my mind. Give me Your words, so that I may pour Truth into the lives of others. I love You, Lord. I praise and lift up Your mighty Name. You are the I AM. There is no other. I thank You for Jesus. I thank You for loving us that much, Father. You are good and You are faithful and You are just. O, merciful Father, shine upon Your people today. Grant us the wisdom and dicernment to know the difference between truth and falsehoods.
I love You, Lord.
I ask all of these things in Jesus' name,
Amen.

May I...
May I walk with You in the garden always.
May I realize that prayer is work and a daily choice.
May I walk as You lead.
May I speak Your words always.
May I walk in the armor You have given me.
May I never tilt to the left or the right.
May my eyes gaze on Your beauty for eternity.
I love You so much Jesus.
You are soo good.
Put Your hand upon my heart.<3

airport... thoughts.. music.
As I sit here surrounded by people from all backgrounds, some sleeping on floors, some staring into space, some attempting to figure out complex equations, I ponder the beauty of how I arrived to this very moment.
Back in August, I was determined to somehow make it to IHOP(prayer not pancakes)...
I told my dear friend Ruth that we had to save and do whatever we had to do to get our tushies over to Kansas City, Missouri.
Though she isn't with me, I am sitting here in the airport waiting to meet Daddy with the answers He has waiting for me in the prayer room.
I have spent much time seeking after the Father and desiring to know Him on a much deeper level. With all of the grey that surrounds me on campus, it is often hard to break through to the level I desire to reach with the Father. I know that all the questions I have had the past couple of months will be answered and I trust that God will show up mightily just as He has promised.
Until then, I will leave you with the lyrics that are stirring in my heart.
I want to know You
I love to know You
Everything else I, count as loss
I want to know You
I love to know You
No matter what, the cost
I love You, Daddy <3
