This time one year ago I was on a plane flying to South Africa! Little did I know then what God had in store for me and what He would do in and through me over this past year! It has been the worst and best year of my life! I have done things like jump off of the world’s highest bungy bridge and other things like burying my mother! I have been stretched, broken, tempted, tested, I’ve been taken to new levels in my relationship with God and I’ve had major paradigm shifts thanks to some incredible people God has placed in my life over the past year! I’ve learned what it means to live in REAL community and I’ve seen how much I miss it when I don’t have it! I’ve learned how to live in the power of the Holy Spirit and I’ve learned how to bring the Kingdom of God to earth! “May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven!” (Matthew 6:10)
God has broken down and chipped away the parts of my life and heart He couldn’t use and rebuilt me into a woman of God that He wants to use for HIS glory and HIS glory alone! Over the past year I have experienced overwhelming freedom from things of my past and I now know what it feels like to live without chains on!! He is a chainbreaker! I have truly learned how to be Jesus’ hands and feet over the past year! I can not fully express in words what God has done in my life over this past year but I am forever grateful for the Spirit leading me into a place where I was able to learn so much about the world around me and about God Himself! I am even more grateful that He is continuing to open doors of amazing opportunity!
I am forever changed and can no longer EVER settle for the typical American dream! Life is about WAY more than going to college and getting a degree that I hate, to do a job that I will hate more for the next 30 years of my life. It’s about more than dressing up once a week, for an hour and sitting in a building with many other people who have dressed up and being fed health, wealth, and prosperity gospel! This life is meant to be lived the way Jesus lived it! Loving, Healing, Giving, Sharing, Praying, Raising in JESUS’ name!
Thank you ALL for your love and prayers and support over this past year! I am so thankful for all the amazing people God has blessed me with!
“For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power!”

Man I cannot believe that it has already been a year. seems like just yesterday I and the other leaders were picking you guys up at the airport and heading to training camp. There are so many memories that have happened in this last year. Some good some Great and some bad too but thru it all the Lord never left us. Remember that as you go into this next year. You are going to grow just as much if not more this next year. Im excited to read your blogs and hear what he is continuing to do. Love you girl.
