Hmm lovely God

Wow, Jesus is just so amazing! :) boy have I been streched this whole summer! Can't say it's been easy, but it sure has helped me grow..The JOY of the Lord is my strength! :) hehe ya baby!

You know...I am headed to the DRepublic in a few days to study abroad. I have just been thinking about the ways in which I am expecting to be transformed(like I can really know all that yet haha)...but I think I will definitely be transformed internally which will have external evidence. I want the Lord to teach me that material things are less important, to show me how much He loves me....how much he loves everyone and how beautiful everyone is. I want to reach out to the lonely, be a shoulder for the crying, and be an encouragement to those who are down. God, CHANGE ME! I don't wanna stay the same! I want to grow, I want to become more like you. I want to LOVE better and MORE! I can't wait to see how you will change all of us on this trip. Consume me from the inside out! :)

Who will go? To whom shall I send?

“Who will go?
To whom shall I send?"
Are you hungry for souls?
Or does fear stand in your way?”
Fear of man, Fear of speech, Fear of judgment. Laziness?
Guilty of these I am, aren’t you?
“Who will go?
To whom shall I send?”
He moves and He breathes,
Are you in His rhythm?
It’s a high tide, time is rushing out
Running around, who shall I tell?
The lady at the Dollar Tree, my neighbor, my Aunt, oh who, Lord, who?
“It is not for you to decide who should come and who should not.
So go as I lead you, GO, and tell of Me.”
It’s not about us anyways, so stop the FEAR
The Fear seems only to be an excuse.
But, But, but what if…?
“Yes, but what about their souls?"
Okay Lord, I will speak, I will go.
"Who will go?
To whom shall I send?"
Me Lord, please use me.
“Okay, tell them I love them.”
But, but what if...?
"Who will go?
To whom shall I send?"
OH how selfish am I to not share the gift that has changed my life.
“Now child, you go. You speak. Now you are sent. I send you.”

Prayerrr

So I think Prayer is one of the coolest things ever. It think it's one of the most beautiful things as well!

"if my people would humble themselves and pray and seek my face then I will hear them from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land" 2 chronicles 7:14

I LOVE this verse and I had the grand opportunity to watch my church congregation humble themselves and pray for a week every single night. Wow, Prayer is so moving and powerful. IT WORKS I tell ya, it does! If you don't pray much, start praying all the time. It's conversation with God! You don't haaave to stop everything you are doing and sit down and pray (thats good) but you can talk to God at any moment...in the car...while your exercising...etc. I love prayer and it's sooo beautiful! :) Sometimes I don't feel like praying, but once I start praying to God about other people (interecessory prayer) then it just starts flowing and it gets exciting to pray about others because I know at that moment God is moving on their behalf. When we offer our petitions to God, then suddenly something is released, an angel is on assignment, the holy spirit is at work, and God is drawing nearer, and boom badda bing..AH things happen! :) Even if we don't see anything in the natural, it's working. The neat thing is often times we do get to see the results! AH start praying more!
