Confirmation

there's nothing quite like attending a service where you're expecting great things to happen. tonight...was one of those nights. some friends of mine and i went to a service one town over from ours. the speaker was someone that we have heard before but we were just anticipating God to do awesome things. 

awesome is an understatement! personally, God confirmed some things in me that i have been praying about. things that i didnt think would ever come to pass. things that only dreamers dream about. && they were just that until tonight....dreams. the Lord has been speaking to me through almost everything that has come up in my life for the past month or so. whether it be a song or a sermon or just in my quiet time with Him. He's answering prayers that i totally did not have the faith for when i prayed them. crazy huh?! 

well. im off to bed. its been a great, relaxing day. i leave friday for Orlando, Fl. :) i have some songs for you to check out. --> For the Honor by Elevation Worship - With Everything by Hillsong United & Oh You Bring by Hillsong United. <--

Where has the time gone?!

thank you for asking! :)

to answer you....i dont even know!! -- in exactly one week from now i will be exactly 1 month away from graduating my 3rd year of Masters Commission. WOW!! i will have my bachelor's degree in general ministries. who woulda thunk it?! lol

when i think back to the very beginning of this journey, i would have never imagined that i would be in the position i am in and doing life with the people im doing life with. they are all amazing && i wouldnt trade it for anything. in the midst of all the craziness & busyness of life i have not forgotten where i have come from. i have not ignored the past nor have i let it distract me. the future is my goal and my dreams are the prize.

i cant say that living with 13 other girls is the easiest but it is an experience. a test of patience, endurance, attitude, & grace. these ladies are amazing & they each add an amazing aspect to my life that no one could ever bring. my room is in an attic room. its crazy because im not thrilled about heights but im getting better.

this summer will definitely be a summer of changes. a summer of responsibilities & a summer of beauty. && IM EXCITED!! (more to come later)

something that ive been stretched in recently is my dreams. what are they? sharing them. & embracing them. --> its crazy how such a simple thing can cause such a discomfort. maybe discomfort is a weird word but ive never really been asked to share my dreams with anyone except for once. then, this past week ive been challenged to share them or at least acknowledge them at least 3 times. so i went from once in 3 years to 3 times in 1 week. HELLO!?!?!? needless to say, its crazy! everything from sermons to tweets to statuses to friends asking questions or posing challenges. it kinda makes me nervous when im asked to verbalize/confront/disclose my dreams.

ive never been one to let people in one what was happening on a personal level. thats all different now. but when it comes to something as intimate as my dreams well...thats a little much. ive always been a dreamer. my imagination has always wandered but now, these dreams are God given and for some reason its still kinda difficult to publicize them.

some other things that have been coming up from all directions recently have been: the process & purpose. everywhere i turn these are popping up. "its all part of the process" or "everything involves a process" or "its on purpose" or "its still on purpose" or "you have purpose." ITS EVERYWHERE. but that only means one thing...God sure does know how to get my attention. :) ive been praying for answers and ive been praying for surety. how much more clearer does it have to get?

--> its time for bed. thanks for letting me share & ramble. :) if you have any questions please dont hesitate to comment and ask. oh && Ireland pics will be coming soon! <--
