Joy

God is a good good God. Tonight was a pretty radical night. We had a worship leader who was all about bringing God's joy and having the Holy Spirit fill us up. It was like nothing I'd ever experienced..a little out of my comfort zone coming from my 18 years of sitting in a Lutheran church. We made a human tunnel and people would walk through just falling over with joy of the Lord as people prayed over them. At one point I just couldn't stop laughing, the spirit of God and His joy was definitely filling the room. Then at another point I looked down and God blessed me with gold dust on my hands which is something I had been praying for in the past so it was super sweet! I honestly can't even write about everything that happened because you'd probably think I was crazy!

Last week I went for a run with my roommate, Lisbeth and on our way back we stopped to talk to this homeless man, Johnny. I've been establishing a friendship with him since I moved here. He's in love with music and playing his guitar and he's a super nice guy. I had this feeling that God just wanted me to establish a friendship with him and to not pray over him right away which was one of my first thoughts. But on this night I felt God giving me the green light to pray over him and so we did and we new that he felt God that night. I found out the next day from someone else that talked to him that he got a job and a place to stay and all these abundance of blessings had been bestowed upon him and it was just so amazing. Like God is so brilliant and smart in the way that He uses people. It honestly doesn't cease to amaze me.

Tonight after the craziness in the prayer room I went for a run with another friend and on our way back we ran into someone on campus who just seemed down so I immediately was drawn and asked him what was wrong. He ended up telling us all about it and then I asked if we could pray for him and so we did. After we were done praying he told us how we were an answer to his prayers and that was just what he needed and once again I love how God works. It puts into perspective that it's all about his timing everything that we do is under his timing and the people we will encounter.


Sorry my updates have been infrequent, our schedule is pretty demanding and there's just so many thoughts swirling in my head that it's hard to gather them all together.

I leave for Cambodia in exactly a month. Please pray for my team and for finances to come through. God is good and I know His will will be done. And of course if you'd like to support just click on the support tab on the top of the page! :)
