Welcome to my new blog!! I'm going to try to be more consistent on this blog than on my last one.
Most of you know that last year (June '07 - May '08), I went on an incredible journey - the World Race. It was the absolute best year of my life - I highly recommend it to anyone! God turned my world upside down, as He gave me His heart for the nations and called me into intimacy with Him. My life fused with 26 others as we became a family, loved the nations, explored the world, and chased after the Creator and His Kingdom. Here's a glimpse of the ways God changed me. And this phenomenal video (masterfully made by Sean Smith) is a glimpse into the worlds we discovered and the people we encountered.

I came home wrecked and looked to God for what was next. I had no direction initially and new I couldn't sit idle, so I decided to pursue Physician's Assistant school, as that was my plan before the World Race. Over the summer I visited Lakeland several times to check out what I had heard some call a revival...It was all new to me. While in Lakeland, God reminded me of my desire to go to Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Allison, Sean and I listened to the Bethel podcasts our entire time on the Race, and had become avid fans of Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton. I had also talked to God about going to Bethel in January '08 while in the Philippines, but decided to put it on hold, so that I could fully be in each place God had me while on the Race. With Bethel back on my heart, I applied to the school and was accepted, which leads us to now.
I am in Redding, CA at Bethel Church. I am undone with thankfulness that God has brought me here. He continually amazes me as He takes me to deeper places and gives me the desires of my heart. Bethel is the perfect place for me right now. While on the Race, my eyes were opened to so much, but I needed some time to solidify my identity in Him, adopt the supernatural as a lifestyle and, as always, go deeper in intimacy with Him. So now I am falling more in love with Jesus and being equipped to live according to God's Kingdom - on Earth as it is in Heaven.
The purpose of this blog is to share with you my experiences, the things I am learning and the goodness of God. I invite you to comment or personally dialogue with me on any post. I am honored to have you join me on this journey into the depths and truths of Christ.
I pray the Lord blesses you and the Holy Spirit gives you new revelations through the words you read. More than anything, I pray you fall more in love with Jesus!! Peace to your spirit.
