Surprises !

God loves surprises. He loves to surprise us and keep us on our toes... He hates formulas. He loves being the God of the unexpected kiss. He is the God of the Suddenly's. 

I've learned so recently that I cannot trust in plans but I can only trust in God. 

**In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9**

*Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21**

So I make plans. But God changes them. And then I don't make plans and God plans things that are too wonderful for me to imagine. He has plans and purposes for me that are bigger than any dream that I could ever fathom. So, okay. Alright. 

Right now....I have no plans. I have no idea what is next. 

I didn't get accepted to staff the school in Mozambique like I totally planned on this summer. And I'm not legally able to live in my apartment because I don't legally make enough money to live in it. But God has provided faithfully every month. This past month for April's rent, I decided to give money away because I knew I didn't have enough for rent anyway and I had to trust Him for some, so why not trust Him for more. So on April 7th, I was like "God. It's April 7th, rent was due a week ago." I decided that I was just going to give the rest of my money away towards my school tuition, and I checked my bank account... to find...  someone put a $1,000 in my bank account without my knowledge! COME ON!!!! GOD PROVIDES!! God has made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to doubt Him. When you walk in His purposes He shows up and shows off. And it's usually last minute in a Suddenly. Suddenly, God provided. When all was almost lost, suddenly, the Spirit of The Lord.... 

It can be annoying and tiresome to wait upon The Lord. But it is always glorious. God always shows up in Glory. 

So right now. I wait upon the Lord to show me what are His purposes and His plans for my next season. I need to live somewhere. I don't know if He will provide a roommate for my current apartment, or if I will sign my lease over to someone and live somewhere else. I don't know if I'll continue in Harrisburg, or back in Illinois, or it will be overseas. I have absolutely no idea. 

But my heart, my mind, my flesh, my spirit, my soul, my every cell and fiber in my body KNOW that God is FAITHFUL. 

My birthday is on Monday! April 21! I pray that God will show me His next moves in my life as a present. I'll wait, He always speaks. I don't even know what I would choose. My ultimate choice would be to go back to Mozambique. I can reapply to staff for the October- December school in June. And I'm probably going to. But I'm just waiting. 

All I have is God. Nothing else matters. 

But life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus- the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love. Acts 20:24

What will God surprise us with next?

This is a picture I drew which represents how I feel most of the time. 

                   * ******After I wrote this blog I was given a surprise party for my birthday !!!! And was surprised with a favorite band of mine from high school playing a concert right down the street. !!! A surprise party and a surprise concert. God is HILARIOUS!! ********

What's been going on.

So it's been a while since I've posted. I don't like posting unless I feel led by God, also I've been soooooo busy. But its been on my heart to let the world and all the people that I'm so blessed to have care about me know what my life has been. 

I've been working like 50 hours a week for the past couple months. And it's been pretty hard. I work 7-12 at Starbucks and then 2pm-6:30pm at a clothing store called Dressbarn. I was working out at the gym on my break between 12 and 2 but after I did that for a month, I got literal exhaustion and had to stay in bed for 2 days to rest. So, I really felt the Lord tell me to fast exercise because it's something I really enjoy doing but I need to find all my strength in Him not at the gym. 

So I also have class Monday and Tuesday nights from 6:30-10, church Wednesday nights, and small group every other Friday. As well as Sunday morning church where I serve at the coffee bar and also on the video cameras helping film the service. There is also other outreaches and things we do for class on random days. 

It was getting pretty hard for me because since I was working so much, I started skipping class to be able to get to bed earlier. But I felt a lot of conviction about that because I didn't move to Harrisburg to work. I moved here to do school with Global Celebration. So God has been so faithful at helping me get rest and go to school. 

However, work has been an amazing. God is invading both my jobs with His glorious love. Its been such a privilege to love on my coworkers and my customers. I totally believe God to overflow my life with His love. I want everyone I meet to feel His love, peace, joy, and righteousness radiating through me. It's amazing the feedback that my customers and coworkers both give me about just that. God is so good. I'm so grateful to be able to serve Him with my life. 

One of the biggest things that have been going on has been whats next. The Lord had opened a door of opportunity for me with Global Celebration and New York City for the fall.. So when I came to the Lord in prayer asking Him for a dream to confirm these plans... I dreamt I was back in Mozambique staffing the Harvest School I did this past summer. And then almost every other night I was dreaming I was back in Mozambique or I would be talking with Heidi Baker, the principle of the ministry. There has also been lots of prophetic confirmation but I won't share that yet. 

So I've applied to staff the next two schools in Mozambique. I would be there from mid May to beginning of December. But I haven't been accepted or denied yet. I've been in a kind of hard wait. But patience is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. 

I feel strongly that this is the Lord. I've prepared that the lease of my apartment to be signed over to a coworker. The Lord has already given me many dreams about how He would provide. I feel His pleasure in this. My heart weeps to be able to back. I've been getting up early in the morning to seek God about what His will is. Every other moment I'm thinking about being back and what I would bring, what I would do. 

I would be a house mother to a group of students, I would help them, serve them, speak into their lives, direct them about living in Mozambique, encourage their encounters with the Lord. As well as helping with the administration of the school, serving the school to run efficiently and full of the Spirit of God. Totally led by Him. Letting God have His way. 

But I haven't been accepted or denied yet. 

So Jesus knows my heart. He hears my cries. I've been waiting patiently. Even though its been hard. 

I trust God. He's good and gives me the desires of my heart. I know that when I abide in Him and His words in me, I ask what I wish and it shall be given and by this people will know I am His disciple. 

Help

Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

I feel poor in spirit. I feel so hungry for more of Him. So in need. My favorite song recently has been "O how I need you" by All Sons and Daughters. 

"Lord I find you in the seeking,
 Lord I find you in the doubt.
And to know You is to Love you. 
And to know so little else.

I need You.
Oh how I need You.
Oh how I need You.
Oh how I need You." 

I've had this on repeat for the past couple weeks. 

How I desperately I am in need of God. I can't do anything without Him. And I don't want to do anything without Him. When I go to the gym I tell the Lord that I don't even want to exercise unless HE gives me the strength. I don't want to try to do anything in my own energy that I may boast. 

Well, right now I am in need. I am in need for my rent. And I have been calling out to God knowing He provides for all my needs. It's so hard for me because I work so much and to not even have enough for my rent is really humbling. This is my first time living on my own and it's definitely been a huge learning and growing experience. 

I had given finances as I really felt directed by the Lord, leaving me in need of rent, and I believe the Lord to provide all I need. I always cast my cares to Him. He knows my needs. He knows my heart. So in crying out to Him, all I've heard is 'if there is a need among you let it be made known.' 

So if I have done anything wrong with my finances... I repent. I am so grieved if I have been disobedient and not been a good steward. My heart has been so to bless the Lord in all areas of my life, especially financial stewardship. 

But I come humbly before anyone who feels led and ask if anyone would help me. Since taking two weeks off to be home for Christmas, I'm nervous to even be short for next month. But I haven't been able to pay my rent that was due January 1st. I'm so humbled and brought lower. Knowing that I am always in need. I can't do anything on my own. I am so need of God. 

I just would like you to ask God if He would desire you to help me. I trust God to provide always. If He desires me to be living somewhere else, I trust Him. But its amazing how the Lord brought me here so I don't think He wants me to leave. I trust Him. And I've made my requests and my needs known to God so I feel like the Lord has lead me to do this. This is hard for me, I'll admit. God called me to do this earlier but in my pride I didn't want to ask anyone for help. But I can do nothing on my own. God is my strength and my helper and I am apart of His body. 

So if you want.

I'm not trying to persuade you. I trust God. I trust Him so much. 

Just please pray for me. I so desire to serve the Lord and honor Him in all areas of my life. I desire to walk worthy of the calling. I desire to walk holy and pure, blameless before Him. I need Him. I need His help. I need Him. And I need you. Because we're one body. We're a family. We're here to build each other up. Let me know how I can pray for you. Let me know if I can help you.

Joy in Suffering

I've been realizing why James and Paul says take joy in suffering. James 1. Romans 5.

It really does produce perseverance. And endurance. It really does produce character. And God really does pour out hope and His Holy Spirit. Abundantly. I've been having so much joy. So much crazy supernatural Holy Spirit joy.

Today I'm a little sad though.

I think its okay to be sad. God get sad over things. He mourns. His heart hurts over things.

When we suffer, we feel the nearness of Jesus so incredibly. He shows up so beautiful without fail. He never fails to provide for me. It's truly amazing. His presence has been so thick in the midst of the trials and tribulations of the past month that when things get to feel normal, I do almost wish for another just so I can feel the closeness of His presence knowing He's about to perform another miracle in my life.

So many freaking miracles. Someone posted as status on my facebook saying they were encouraged by my faith and to keep walking on water til its the only surface I know how to walk on. AH. Blah blah blah. I don't know if she even knows how deep that statement is to me. Because I know that's the life God is calling me to live. Walking on water.

I've been walking on water now for 3 months and the water just keeps getting deeper. I call out for normalcy and God is making this it.

As long as Jesus keeps showing up. And He always does.....

Gosh my heart is so heavy today. I'm so sad today. It's okay to be sad. I couldn't even go to the gym today, I just wanted lay in bed. AND THATS OKAY. Jesus meets me wherever I go. Whatever I do. He meets me. He says come to me and I will give you rest.

Today, I feel like drowning in His love. Today, I just want to sink into the ocean of His grace. Today. I'm going to be weak because in my weakness He is strong.

And now I've just gotten a call in reference to my student loans. Which is great. Because I didn't finish college. And I don't know when or if I will! HA Jesus. Thanks. If anyone would like to pay my student loans let me know.

Thank You Lord that it's okay to feel the full spectrum of emotions. Thank You Lord that its okay to be weak. I love being weak. Thank You Lord for being EVERYTHING that I need. I need you so desperately God. I am so poor in spirit. I need you so badly. I am so desperate for you. My heart and flesh cry out for you God. Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I am so in love with you God. I am so in love with you.

Jesus, bless the readers of these words. Let them feel Your presence. Let them feel your affection for them. I am so thankful for these people who read my words. Thank You Lord.

Amen. lalalala.

My life is a miracle. Constantly.

Let God be glorified in all I do!!!!!!!! I pray. Jesus' name, Father. 

I have been really trying to get into reading the 5 psalms a day and a proverb. I really have been seeking wisdom and understanding. I really want to know the heart of God and understand Him as best as I can. 

It's been cool because as I read the Psalms I notice that the psalmists will bring their complaints to God and then they say to Him, answer me and then my soul will again rejoice and be glad.... So its okay to be distressed until the answer comes. I am definitely NOT saying that you must be 'woe is me' until the answer comes, because I'm all about rejoice ALWAYS. But I KNOW you can rejoice with a hurting heart. I know you can declare God's goodness and truth with tears streaming down your face. And how good it is when the answer comes and God rescues you.

So here is a good miracle. 

About 2.5 weeks ago when I signed my lease... I realized I didn't have enough money for rent. I had been given in early October a check from an acquaintance for $800 for my first month rent. A MIRACLE. But when it came time for me to sign my lease on October 23rd, I realized that I had to pay for the last week of October and then full rent November 1st. So I was about $115 dollars short. And on top of that I had no money to buy food or anything else until I got paid on November 4th. 

(BTW work had been and is still going SO WELL!!! I have so much fun serving up cups of joy and blessing my customers with kind words and compliments! I love working at Starbucks. I love it so much. And I'm praying for MORE of everything God has planned for me there. I also got a second job at clothing store called the Dress Barn. I just started but I know I'm going to love it too.)

So. Me and my roommate both were trying not to stress in the pressure of paying rent... But I had been feeling pretty exhausted from not getting much sleep (still acclimating to waking up at 5am for work). It was a Tuesday we signed the lease and I had class that night and I spent most of the class crying in the lobby. I was so tired. I just wanted my own space. I just wanted my own bed. I didn't want to have to be at the mercy of others. I just wanted to sleeeeeep. And I was so tired of always needing mercy and money and miracles. But God is funny. So I ended up spending that night again at my beloved friend's who had been caring for me... in the morning when I was getting dressed for work.. I found a $100 bill in my pocket..... 

The angel of the Lord who put it there (one of my beloved friends) told me that while she was praying for me God had said to her, simply, that 'miracles don't have to be hard'. She said she knew I needed more but it still helped. Amen to that. 

So it was definitely a kiss from my Father. So I knew I still needed more and God would provide more. But I had NO IDEA how He was going to do it. So the next few days... I just kind of spent money like I had it. Not a lot. But I'd buy myself lunch or whatever. 

That weekend a friend came to visit and on our way to a worship event we stopped at the mall to pray for people. While praying for a lady who wanted financial stability... I heard the Lord say, 'miracles don't have to be hard.' So I passed on the $100 note. I knew that I still needed more so I just believed that an act of obedience is the best thing I could do. And that night was an amazinggg night of worship. Oh man it was good. 

So the next day, Saturday, my beloved friend, Jessie who had come to visit me took me to the thrift store and we were able to get a decent amount of essentials for my apartment! She was so sweet to me. And that day a group of us went into the ghetto of Harrisburg (and it is literally ghetto) to pray for people and had a wonderful time being the hands of feet of Jesus and again went to another worship event. We love to worship Jesus. At the worship event my friends who I had stayed with for two weeks showed up with a bag of food for me!!!! Soooo sweet. 

And even more still, I was sharing with a friend some of the crazy testimonies I've had been since being here in Harrisburg, like the guy giving me $800 and so many other powerful testimonies. He was just blown away by the provision of God in my life and the radical life of faith I've been living. I told him I was even yet still believing God for my rent in a week. And his face gets serious and he asks me 'how much do you need? like $300?' And I stop and think. I have about $200 now... I need $400 for rent. So $300 would help me survive until I get paid. And so I told him yeah, yeah. And he just looks at me so serious and tells me that the Lord just told him, 'give her $300, give her $300, give her $300.' The presence of God fell so strongly. It is so powerful what an act of obedience can do. 

God is so funny. I was totally expecting Him to provide like October 31st. Because, ya know, how God likes to make you wait because He can be slow. But look at that. God was EARLY. What??

So funny that even the next day I had checked my bank balance and realized I spent more money than I intended and realized I'd have to live on even less. But at church, I saw him and he asked if it was really $300 that I needed. I said, yeah, yeah. And he told me that the Lord had really said $350 so he was just going to give me that. 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES. 

God is gracious and exceeding in all things. He is so merciful. I don't deserve His kindness but He pours it out abundantly. 

Even more so. He is SO MERCIFUL. let me tell you...

So, I got paid on November 4th. And. What did I do.... I went to Sephora. It is a make up store. That is of the Lord. I promise. Jesus loves make up. And I had been really needed new foundation and a couple things. And I just bought itt....... not recklessly but just not super prudent. And then after Sephora, I paid my phone bill and realized...... I was back down to having..... nothing. I actually ended up making a couple purchases and over drawing my bank account. I told the Lord I would return the make up but I didn't even know how I was going to get to the store... so just praying and praying for wisdom and mercy and direction...... My grandma is of the Lord and had already been moved by His Spirit and had sent me a card with a check in it. 

GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES. And He loves make up. He loves beauty. He really does. 

And so I can go on and on about how Good my Father is....... but I'll save it.

There are a lot of miracles I haven't mentioned... I could literally talk to for an hour on what God does in less than a week in my life... 

My life is so full of miracles. I am so honored by God that He would choose me to live so under His grace and mercy. 

I love being obedient to Him. There is no better way to live. I love Him. I love you too. Let me know how I can pray for you. 

Please continue praying for me. Pray that I can have an increased anointing for the prophetic so that I may love more coworkers and be able to speak the words of God into their lives and that they would KNOW Him and give their selves to Him. Pray that I would get deeper in the Word of God and that the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation would be upon me. Pray that my apartment would be full of beautiful furniture and would be a garden full of fruit. 

LOVE YOU SO MUCH. 

MY OWN BED.

Me and Jessie out on the streets!

Starbucks girl 

I still can't fully believe I'm in Harrisburg.

I pinch myself sometimes.

I'm really living in Pennsylvania.

I've signed a lease. I have my own apartment. I HAVE TWO JOBS. And jobs that I asked God for. One in a coffee shop and the other in a clothing store. Yay God.

Haha.

I don't even know what to say. My life is constantly this supernatural journey where I don't know how I'm going to eat one minute to the next I'm feasting in glory.

I do not know the full extent yet of what I'm doing here. Over the past weeks I've been really crying out to God asking Him what am I really doing here?

What do you think I'm doing here? Haha

Homeless for a solid month, hungry from time to time, tired, not fully aware.. but always happy and in peace, knowing God's hand is upon me. Thank the Lord I got a good night sleep last night, had a good breakfast, and am now enjoying a good cup of coffee at a local cafe down the street.

It's cool with my job that I'm really becoming a part of the community. I walk down the street and I see the people I serve coffee to and stop and talk. Which is so fun and I love it sooo much..

I'm really grateful that the church that Global Celebration runs out of has 3 other ministry schools full of young adults that are on fire for Jesus too.. So I have a huge rich church community. It's so awesome. Last weekend I was able to get together with a bunch of people and go out onto the streets praying for people and showing them the love of Christ.. It was amazing. I had so much fun. I'm so grateful for friends that I can do that with. I love sharing the Good News! I am compelled by the Love of God to preach! MUAHAHAHA.

Okay. I don't know what else to say. If you want to send me mail!!!!!!!! Because I have an address... Email me at shootingesther@gmail.com

Love you guys. Talk to me. Keep me in your prayers. Pray for my apartment to be filled with love and life and beautiful furniture.

Grace and peace to you through God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. WHOOP WHOOP.

My life is crazy.

So, I'd like to tell you about my past week or so in Harrisburg, PA.

My life has been so crazy. I have been discovering what a real adventure it is to walk on water, completely in faith.

I really pray that this blog is worship unto God. I want this to be a pleasing sacrifice unto Him. I desire this blog to be a testimony of the Good things the Lord does in my life. I want it to be the Spirit of Prophesy for you to know what He will do in your life!!

Thank You, Lord, for the wonders You perform in my life! Encourage these readers to know that You will do the same in their lives! YAY GOD.


So, I've been homeless for almost 3 weeks now. LOL.

Sleeping on couches by the mercy of others.

Wow, it is humbling. To have absolutely no control.

But there's a lot of freedom.... even when you run out of money!

So my first full weekend here in Harrisburg, Global Celebration had a huge conference with speakers like Heidi Baker, Bill Johnson, and Lance Wallnau. It was absolutely amazing. And I have this obsessive compulsion to be obedient to God. So when He tells me to give, I give! Knowing that nothing I have is my own. It all belongs to God!! So there's a lot of freedom to give- because none of it was mine in the beginning!! All the earth is the LORD's and everything in it... Psalm 24:1

My beautiful roommate, Dawn, who picked me up and drove me out to this crazy adventure, is doing the school part-time-ish because she has children in high school so she is driving up to see them every other week. So after a week in Harrisburg she had to head back to Michigan to be with her children. I understood and God worked it out for me to stay at one of the staff at the school's apartments while they went out of town for the week. So I had an apartment to myself for like 5 days, which was amazing because when you're living as a nomad, private time is rare.

Whilst being in rest my body went out of adrenaline mode and the stresses came upon me in a sort of sickness. I wasn't too sick, but ill enough to really need serious rest.

I was able to go out, however, and apply for a job at Starbucks... which is the job I had wanted when God first told me I was coming out here while in Africa.. the same day I applied I got called for an interview! Which was for this past Tuesday, October 8th. After that I new I wasn't to apply for any other jobs because this was it.

So even though I just rested, my body wasn't seeming to get much better because I didn't have the opportunity to be able to go to a grocery store and buy vegetables to maintain proper nutrient... so I wasn't getting better, kind of worse. I also didn't have a lot of money to be able to go out and buy regular meals. I clung to the Word of God as my medicine. ;-)

When the staff members got back from their week away, I was hoping my roommate, Dawn, would be back in town for us to get to serious work at getting an apartment. I had found one while she was gone that was PERFECT and was given the application for it but didn't fill it out or try to submit it because I knew that she had a better credit and credentials as an appealing tenant. So I was waiting for her to return. Unfortunately... I had forgotten... that Dawn had signed up to do a Global Celebration retreat in Cabo, Mexico... I did know the Lord called her to it... but I forgot that it was this past week.... And I still wasn't feeling well... The staff member's whose place I was staying at have a baby and I didn't want to be around the baby not feeling well...

So, Monday-Tuesday were pretty hard days for me. I sought the Lord. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't feeling well, I didn't know where to go. I had basically no money. Dawn had the money for the deposit on our apartment. I sought the Lord. I sought the Lord. I sought the Lord. I sought His Face. I sought His wisdom, His counsel, His might. Because I had absolutely no strength.

Tuesday morning my interview went REALLY well. And I got the job!!! YAY GOD. But they told me at my interview that I had to wait 2 weeks to start so I could do an orientation class.

I didn't have 2 weeks. So after the interview. I just went and sat somewhere. I had no money. I had a check but I really felt the Lord telling me NOT to cash it. I didn't know what to do. I didn't even have any money to eat that day. I didn't know what I was going to do. I sought the Lord. I knew that He wouldn't let His child go hungry or beg for bread. I knew that I wasn't supposed to stay at the staff member's place much longer. I wasn't going to start my job for 2 weeks. How was I supposed to start working to pay for rent? I sought the Lord. Because I know when you seek the Lord, you find Him. I had seriously no idea how I was going to eat. I told the Lord I would fast, but I don't think the conditions of my heart were right... So, I just walked around Harrisburg, praying and seeking God's face.

Sitting on a bench by the river, praying and praying, worshiping God, trusting Him. Reminding Him of His promises. Seeking His face. I remembered I needed an ID to show for paperwork sake when you get a new job.. so I went to look in my wallet to find my license to make sure I had it. So looking through my wallet.. I found $20!! I had so thought I lost that $20 and had TORN UP my wallet looking for it before!! But God had kept it hidden because He wanted to prove His faithfulness at ALWAYS PROVIDING! I was going to be able to eat! And my favorite place to eat down town was having a special so I got to get a huge steak salad for $4. Jesus is soo good.

And so encouraged, I went back to the apartment, filled out this application for the apartment I wanted and turned it in. I knew it would be a miracle if I was approved for the apartment for us... and even more of a miracle because I didn't have the money to pay for it yet......

So, that night was class, and trying so hard to maintain a thankful and trustful heart... I completely broke down and just sobbed. I was still weary. I still only had in my possession like $15... I didn't know where I was going to stay until I could get an apartment... I didn't know how I was going to pay for it... I KNEW the Lord WILL provide... I know His promises... But I was tired. Still sickish. Still seeking full rest. And still seeking Him knowing He was going to show Himself.

And so, a beautiful friend of mine offered her apartment to me, since she was going to be out of town for the weekend and I could stay in her room and also come early to stay before she leaves. Both her and her roommate both felt it was the Lord for me to come! It was an amazing relief just knowing how God works continually through people's lives to provide for you.

So Wednesday I went to stay with Jenny and Tiffany, more amazing staff at Global Celebration. My sister also felt the Lord leading her to send me some money that I'll be able to survive on until I start working. Praise God! Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. He always provides.

He always provides.

Wednesday night we went to church to see Brother Yun, Heavenly Man, who was speaking. At church I was talking to someone who has been very excited about what God is doing in my life and the adventure I'm on... and very concerned about my job and apartment search... He felt led to provide the $800 I needed for my first month rent! So I could move into my apartment! (if I was approved)

GOD PROVIDES ALWAYS. GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the next miracle I needed was to be approved for this apartment... So Thursday.... I get a call from the rental company saying that... despite the facts, like all I have is a part time job and Dawn isn't working yet... they just need to see some financial statements.. and the apartment is ours! They considered our missionary status'... and approved us..... What? Yes. God is a god of MIRACLES.

THEN

I get a call from Starbucks... and they said I could start the next day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I got to start working YESTERDAY! Full of favor and glory from the Lord. I'll be working Monday through Friday 6 AM to 12. Sounds great to me. And I'll have plenty of time to get a second job.  YAY GOD.

So now I'm just waiting for Dawn to get back and she can show the rental company some paperwork and we will be moving into our new apartment. :DD

So I have an apartment. I have a job. Because I have a good God.

HE always provides. He always provides.

I came out to Harrisburg with basically nothing. And God provides everything. He is so faithful.

It is so important to be obedient to God. Because He always comes through. Always.

I'm so thankful for people who are obedient to Him.

I haven't stopped being so full of joy and glory. I haven't been able to stop praising Him. Even when I was hurting and confused, I still was praising Him and seeking Him. Even in my tears, I cried out to Him in worship. Knowing that everything was in His control. I totally felt all pride ripped from me. I can't do anything unless the Lord is breathing on my life. I don't have breath unless He gives it. It's all because of Him. It's all Jesus. It's all His. It all belongs to Him. And He'll never leave the righteous homeless or begging for bread.

There's so much more I could preach...... but I've already written so much. Thank you for reading these words. I hope you praise God because of them. And see that it is all Him. It's all Him. I couldn't have done any of that. It's all Him. Hehe Obvi.
