Praise

Just a short praise I wanted to share with you.

Late last night Stefan and I and a friend were walking to the bus stop. Our friend was a little worried that she might not make her last bus from town, which we had to take a bus to get to town. So when we at the bus stop I prayed, "Ok God we are at the bus stop you can send a bus now." Or something like that. I kid you not less then 60 seconds later a bus came. And our friend got the bus stop 10 min ahead of time. God is so good.

Here or There

Well, for those who don't know and those who do I have been back in Jerusalem for a week and half. It is very good to be back. It is not that I don't like the States but when I am where God called me I am happy and for this season and I think the next to come, my home is here.

I have not really started back at the Prayer Tower yet. I have joined one watched and visited a few times. I have gone to Succat Hallel a few times. And I am helping with the children's ministry. But I am still waiting on the Lord to find where my places is at the moment.

Israel is never the same from month to month and since I have been gone for 3 months things are different. I need to sit and wait on the Lord to hear His direction and I need to sit and talk with leaders and find out what is open for me. But it sounds strange to some people that things can change so much. But God is moving and doing and when you have been gone you have to come back in carefully to not distrub what He has been up to.

I would request your prayers for this season. Love you all and God Bless.

Amazing Week

I know I said amazing week but I just want to mention a few things.

On Tuesday nights I go to the Youth Watch at Succot Hallel. This week the night was exciting. What usually happens is there is an hour and a half of worship and we have youth playing a prayer leader who will read scriptures that the Lord impresses on him. Well, tonight one of my friends, a 13 year old (she's a sweetie), got a scripture and she went up and shared it with the prayer leader and then he had her read it. It was just fun to watch her step out of her comfort zone and do that. I am enjoying watching the youth take bold steps. Plus, it blessed me to see, even though I know, that there are oppurtunities for youth and kids to be mentored and brought up in hearing and sharing the Lord.

Then on Wednesday night I had to rush back to town from Succot Hallel (Young Adults watch). Because a group of youth wanted to do an all night prayer watch at the Prayer Tower and I agreed to be there. By midnight most of them had left, but 3 stayed from 11pm until 6am. And they really prayed the whole time. There were breaks about every hour. But they had focus and prayed for their country and friends. That was really awesome to watch.

Shema Israel Adonia Eloheniu

Shema Israel Adonia Eloheniu Adonia Echad. Hear O Israel the Lord is God, the Lord our God is One.

There was another terrorist attack today downtown Jerusalem. I was getting ready for the day and heard a handful of sirens going down the street. I didn't think much about it, it happens fairly often downtown. But it did sound like a lot. Then when I went to cross the street more came, a police van and two medic bikes. Then as I crossed the street I could hear even more coming. I was on my way to the top floor anyways, so I knew I could look out and see if I could figure out what was going on.

I got to the top floor and looked out the window. I could see where they were all going. They were headed to the construction site, just up the road. But that still didn't tell us much.

Then we got the news. A bulldozer ran into 2 buses and several cars. And that it was a terorist attack. He had an Israeli ID and lived in East Jerusalem. The reports are still coming since it is still new. For more information you can go to www.jpost.com and find more. A guard in his car said it was an attack because he looked the guy in the eyes and he said he was calm. So it wasn't just and accident. He was shot by an IDF (Israeli Defense Force) soldeir on leave. The soldier is apparently the brother of the soldier who killed the last terrorist at the Yeshiva.

Please continue to pray for Israel. I will say pray for her peace, because that is what God commands. But please pray for her protection and strength in the trails to come. God does not look well on people who mess with his counrty. It says in scriptures Zechariah 2:8 "... for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye." And I have learned that the phrase "apple of his eye" means pupil. So, those who touch Israel, are poking God in His eye. And who of us would deal nicely with someone who pokes our eye. So please pray for Israel, for wisdom and love to the unlovely.

So Much to Say, So I Took the Time

So I am trying to get better at keeping this updated. So here is the skinny on all that has been going on. Well that is if I can remember it all.

I will add pics when interent is my friend.

2 weekends ago I went to Bethlehem to visit my friends Aaron and Brenda. It was an amazing time. I got to know them a little better and I got to go into the Arab refugee camp with them. It was a very enlightening time with them. Rick Ridings has been quoted saying, “If you love the Jews with an earthly love you will hate the Arabs. If you love the Arabs with an earthly love you will hate the Jews. But if you love one with God’s love you will love the other.” And it was so easy to see that in Bethlehem. My heart went out to these people we met. They are in the refugee camp because when Israel became a State they were kicked out of their houses and towns. And my heart went out to them, but I had to remember that it wasn’t the Jews fault. It was God’s plan for Israel. It was very neat to see the Arab side of Israel.

Then that following week we had a team from Bethel, Redding, CA here. I ended up seeing them 3 nights in a row. It was just amazing. It is very hard to put words to what all happened. The presence of the Lord just fell and the anointing and Glory was just thick in the places we met.

Then came Shavout, Pentecost. At the Prayer Tower we had an all night meeting. It was a big event since we aren’t quite 24 hr a day yet and people from congregation came and joined us. Wayne and Ann lead the first watch, they are the Pastor and his wife from King of Kings. And Stephen and myself joined by Stevenson lead the second watch. It was good. I think I received a breakthrough in prophetic singing that night. Then there were 2 more watches but I was exhausted from battling things in the spirit that I went home. The next day, Monday, I went to a picnic. I wasn’t sure I was going to go at first, but a friend asked me to come because she was performing. And I am glad I went. It was apparently a countrywide gathering of believers in the land. For those who don’t know me I am fairly shy, so I didn’t go around talking to many people but I hung with a friend’s family most of the afternoon. Then that evening we had “Soaking” with Aaron and Brenda and the place we usually meet at was busy so we hung out at a restaurant and then went to the park. While we were at the park the presence of the Lord descended and we started praying and we hear behind us, “Praise the Lord” and there were 2 Arab believers and we didn’t even ask them anything we just had them join us in the circle praying. I just thought it was amazing to see Jews, Arabs, and other countries around the world, all holding hands and praying in the name of Yeshua (Jesus). Then we went to McDonalds and the presence of the Lord fell there and we were getting filled with the Holy Spirit. It was fun to watch grown men get prayed for and start falling out in the Spirit in the middle of McDs.

The rest of the week just kinda flew by. I picked up some more watches at the Prayer Tower. I went to Succot Hallel on Tues and Wed. I stayed later then normal on Tues, and that watch was amazing. I saw right before my eyes the throne of the Lord come down into the room and the Lord was sitting in His throne. So all I knew to do was grab the train of His robe and not let go. So I think I will stay for that watch again this week. Shabbot was kind of quite. My congregation put up a volleyball net in the park on Fri afternoon so I went and played. Then hung out with friends. Saturday was congregation. And that brings us to today. I will try to be better from now on. But I make no promises.
Have a blessed week.

So Much to Say, So Little Time

So a lot has gone on, but only one thing tonight. There is a revelation that I thought I would share with everyone.

Two weeks ago at a Soaking Meeting (waiting in the presence of the Lord) Aaron talked about resting/waiting on the Lord during the battle. And how God will fight the battles for us as we rest in Him. And for some of us that is a hard idea to grasp. And for like the last few months we have also just been letting the Lord reduce us to love. That when Yeshua died on the cross he was no longer recogniazble as man, he was then simply love hanging there on the tree for us. But then last night at Succot Hallel Joaquin Evans was talking about "stopping doing and falling into love." He was talking about waiting on God and letting the Holy Spirit show up and letting him do the work. Because we can't do the work anyways. In the Bible it says "those who abide in Me will bear fruit" (paraphrase John 15:4) it doesn't say those who work will bear fruit.

It's just a new revelation to think that if we shift our focus from doing and striving and fighting to Yeshua. He will take care of the rest. He will fight the enemy for us, He will heal the sick. We just have to focus on Him and allow Him to come and to fall into His love.

ME!!

So I guess I might as well go back to last week. Last week was interesting. Everything seemed hard. Things seemed difficult that I have done so easily before. So, the week went and on Wed I decided that I was going to see The Covenant. thecovenant.com It is a play about God's covenant with His people. I saw it last year and loved it. And Wed was the last day it was playing until fall. So I went to buy my ticket and as I was getting the man working the cash register said wait aren't you a volunteer or student and I said yes. So, my ticket was cheaper which was my only concern with going to the play was the cost of the ticket. So God was so good.

Now the whole week wasn't bad, per say. Like on Tues evening a group of us went out after a watch and had dessert. And the presence of the Lord just fell in the restaurant. And I encourage you guys to take the Lord with you to the streets. We don't share Yeshua with people, but we simply let the Holy Spirit have his way with us and pray that the overflow will effect people.

Then Thur continued to be an awkward day. I had an evening watch and it went, it was neither good or bad. But then my friend had the following watch and he had difficulty finding music. SO I told him, he should play piano and I will sing. And it was amazing and powerful. We were singing God's vengeance and mercy. I just felt that my slump week was over. Words just flowed, tune and melody just flowed. It was a good night.

Then last night I had a time of soak (resting in the Lord) with friends. And the words spoken over me were amazing and what I needed to hear and explained some things I am going through already.

So, God is so good.

Wow

So, the Lord is doing a ton out here. Things are just moving and happening. Sometimes I feel like I can't catch up on writing it down or sharing. So I know this afternoon there was a lot I was going to share so now I will try to remember it all.

First of all here is the picture my friend from Israel painted. It was part of his senior project. And just so you know it is like 5' by 3' maybe bigger. It is of the bride of Christ; and there is construction going on just to show that the bride is still around and is a current thing; and in the sky is the Norther Lights just to show that even the heavens declare the glory of the Lord. This is just one of his amazing paintings. But so far I think this is my favorite.

As most of you know by now there was teen age messianic believer injured in a terrorist attack. It is a miracle that he is even alive. He is apparently doing well. He is awake and he can now see. But there is still alot of healing that the Lord needs to do. So if you could continue to keep him up in prayer that would be wonderful. But the neat thing is, (side note, one of the wathces is praying for the messianic body so they send us prayer requests) that the rest of the messianic body for now is not sending in any prayer requests because the only important prayer request on their heart is healing for Ami.

And it just started me thinking. Would we do that in the states? If someone in our county (not even thinking state) had a huge need, would the rest of us lay aside our needs and lift that person up without worrying about ourselves. For me personally I don't even see that in churches. When people have needed breakthroughs to we stop asking the Lord for the things we "need" and start petitioning God for the persons breakthrough. I mean the "needs" out here are huge. People need protection, favor in the government, life neccesities, but they are saying right now (for the last week at least) my "needs" aren't important, only Ami is important. That to me is just huge. And I think it would be amazing if we could all grasp that.

Also, new news a palestinian christian was kidnapped the other day in Gaza.

So things are stirring up out here. But don't worry Grandma I am fine. I am using wisdom and trusting that since the Lord has me here that He will protect me accordding to Psalm 91.

I would write what the Lord is doing in me but it feels like the wrong time. I will save that for tomorrow. God Bless!!

Howdy. So I tried making this post last night and then again this morning but the internet in my apartment is bad. So, I am now up at the Prayer Tower and using their computer. Which by the way feels weird. I haven't used a keyboard like this in a long time. Anyways...

Not much is going on. Well, I shouldn't say that. A lot is going on, but I am finding out that a lot of the things being prayed for are in the secret place. So, God is moving but I can't tell you where or what or how.

But the fun stuff. Yesterday my bus was held up because the police had blocked off the road. Then came a long police escort. I assumed it was someone important. Because I have seen that but then traffic goes back to normal but afterwards they kept the road blocked off that the escort went down. Then later that night I saw it again. So that was fun. I usually feel important when that happens.

I received a word today that the Lord is taking me to another level in Him. And I can tell. I came to an older woman this morning to ask her a question and then a word just came pouring out. So, that is awesome.

Here

I just thought that I would drop a little note to say that I am still in Jerusalem and that all is well here right now. This is sorta for my Grandma so she doesn't worry. But this is also for public knowledge as I am learning many things these days.

As most of you have probably heard that is unrest in the Gaza area. At congregation on Sat. they said that over the last year over 5000 rockets have hit Sderot. Today at congreation they said that since Israel had given up Gaza over 7500 Kassams have hit Ashkelon. Now if Israel were any other country that would mean that the country was at war. So, Israel is getting ready for a ground invasion right now. There main goal is to stop the rocket firing. An IDF (Israel Defense Force) soldier that people know was injuried. He was shot in the leg and we just found out fortunatel, because God is gracious, that he will not have to loose his legs.

But please keep this up in pray. Israel is God's choosen land and people. I am not worried for myself but there are many members of the IDF that I know and they may be being called up.

And one other knowledge thing there are Kassams and Kaytuchas. Kassams are better then Kaytuchas.

And I am just learning that arabs are rioting in Jerusalem. Again, I am not worried. But we want the Lord to be in control.

If you want more info I recommend looking up the Jerusalem Post or CBN or an acreditable news place.

Shabbot Shalom

Sorry that it has taken me this long to write about what happened on Sunday. Which I will do but I figured that I should start with today. Today, has been a horribly (good) productive day. Now it surprised me because last night I got to bed the latest that I have in a month and woke up the earliest that I have in a few weeks. I had breakfast with my flat mate. Then I ran errands, for myself, Bethany, and Andre. I got home made Jello for dinner, swept the floor mopped the floor and then got ready for dinner. I had a wonderful Shabbot dinner with Bethany and Michael and then we watched a movie. And then Bethany and I sat up until 1 talking about life and things that need to get done this week. So for me and maybe any normal person, a very productive day.

The rest of the week has been good. But nothing really special. I did throw Bethany's Bridal Shower on Wednesday and it was a huge success. And I am very glad it's over.

So on to Sunday. Sunday is my first night watch of the week and this time some friends came to join me. It was quiet at first just music and waiting in the presence of the Lord. But later I started to see things in the spirit. It started for me as areas of color. So the first one I saw I crawled over to and laid in and then my friend made a comment that I was in a "portal". I am not entirely sure how to explain them, but as far as I know it is a place where Heaven is meeting earth and the Lord is giving something specific, but you don't always know what the specific thing is. Then I saw a few other portals, that my friends went to. Then I decided to share that there was an angel in the room and one of the guys said I had been praying for that. At that time I realized that the angel was what was opening the portals. So I decided I wanted to know where the angel was standing, since I didn't know where he was I just knew he was there. So as I was feeling in the spirit I found a door. It was kinda funny because I was walking and then was just stopped in the physical there was nothing there. But I felt it was a door and then in the spirit I could see written above it was the Hebrew word shir, which is song. Know I liked that it was in Hebrew because for me that meant I wasn't just thinking something. Because I told the guys what letters I saw and then they "read" it and I just happen to know that word in Hebrew. So I know it was the Lord and not me. Back to the door. I also knew I was not to go through the door. So one of the guys who is a musician went through and the Lord just gave him words. Things for him, things for other musicians. It was an amazing night.

Then that night when I got to bed I had a dream for someone at home. And then before I went in for my watch the following morning I stopped by the friends house who had joined me the night before and the Lord just ministered to me and gave me a word. So Sunday was a good day.

DONE!!

Wow, my first Night Watch is done and it was great. The time just flew by. I have never had a watch go by so quickly and this was a three hour watch as apposed to the normal two hour watches I do. So God was good. As I wrote in the journal at the Prayer Tower it was just a time of sweet worship.

However, it did start a little rocky. Was I was in our part of the building I found out I was locked out of the prayer room. Fortunately I was able to get into Hilda's office and start making phone calls. I called Chanelle, even though I didn't want to, she has the watch right after mine so she should have been in the middle of her night sleep, but she told me to call if I needed anything. But she kept hanging up on my, probably because it was the middle of the night sleep for her. So fortunately in Hilda's office since she is gone she left us a binder and in that binder is every one's phone numbers. So I thought who has keys to the Prayer Tower and who would be up at midnight, ahh, Stephan. He is our janitor/worshipper, so I gave him a call and he was up and across the street so he came over and let me in. From then on it was smooth sailing.

But now I must sleep. G'Night

Friends

God is so good. This is something that not everyone will understand but to me it was special. As many of you know, when I arrived in Jerusalem I really felt that I was suppose to stay at the Hostel. And that was wonderful blessing, I made many friends there. Some of whom left already and some of whom are living here. Since the beginning of July I haven't really seen these people. But within the last week I have just run into most of them. I saw Daniel last week and as I was meeting him I saw MarieAnn. Then when I went to meet him again I saw Meital. Then when we were out talking he told me about Baruch's Birthday. So I was able to see Baruch and Lee and Aaron. Then today I went to the Hostel to pick on Daniel, since he is leaving this week, I saw Gertrude and said hi. But then the funny one, I was walking up the street from there and some guy behind me was making noise and comments. I avoid those types of people. Then finally he made enough racket that I turned and saw that it was Gabby. He worked at the Hostel while I was staying there. So we walked a little bit and talked. But it was just amazing that the Lord would have me run into all these people that I don't see on a daily basis anymore. It really truly meant a lot to me.

(Color is fun. I really want to us this color can you read this? but I know that is a hard color to see. So I will have fun picking a different color each time.)

So today is Shabbot and last night I went to my friend Nicol's house. We weren't planning on having Shabbot dinner but we ended up having it. It was great we had American (well as American as you can get in Israel) Taco Salad. It was delicious. Plus I than found out where to get Cheddar Cheese out here. But we simply spent the night at her place hanging out. There were about 6 of us girls. We ate, talked, on girl felt like doing every one's hair, Nicol felt like doing feet. We watched a movie or two. It was just an amazing time of fellowship. Especially, because with this group there is generally always a sensitivity to what the Spirit is doing, so even though we were just chilling it was refreshing to body and spirit. Plus, I was surrounded by people which I haven't been since I left the Hostel.

On a fun and exciting note. I start the Night Watch tonight. Love you all and miss you.

Randomness

Well, it has been a fairly slow week. Since I told Hilda that I would be doing the Night Watches I haven't been able to sleep well. I am falling asleep in the early morning hours and sleeping until the afternoon, which puts a damper on getting things done during the day.

Wednesday was a good day. Bethany and I had a great watch at Succot Hallel. The time just flew by. And it was all new songs and scripture until about the last half hour. Which to me is amazing. Especially since I am the prayer/scripture leader. I don't really know the scriptures well. So God is just telling me where to go and find the verses to read. And Bethany and I are beginning to flow together really well.

Tonight, I just got back from a friends birthday party. It is amazing to think of how many people the Lord has brought into my life here. It was a blast because his mom is in town to see him so I was able to meet her.

Baruch and his mom

Which reminds me, last week. I went with a friend to hear a good friend of his sing. And I was able to meet his Grandma. She had arrived the day I left for Turkey and then they were out of town when I got back. So that was fun.

Daniel and his Grandma

Earlier today I was out with Bethany on Ben Yehuda, a big shopping section of town. And just to share how small and friendly Jerusalem is, on Monday, we had been waiting for a bus and were talking to another gal waiting for the bus. And then to day we saw her walking on Ben Yehuda and were able to ask her if she got to where she was going. And it's just amazing on how that happened. And how it was just normal like seeing a friend.

My last randomness I promise. My favorite song right now is Skillet's Will You Be There. My two favorite parts are... well here is the song... bold are my favorites..

As I fall to sleep Will You comfort me?

When my heart is weak Will You rescue me?

Will You be there As I grow cold?

Will You be there When Im falling down?

Will You be there?

When I''m in retreat,Can I run to You?

Will my pain release At Your mercy seat?

Will You be there As I grow cold?

Will You be there When I'm falling down?

Will You be there?My heart grows cold.

Will You be there When I'm falling down?

Are You saying so?Oh, I gotta believe it.

Are You saying yeah?

When Your love comes down,I can rest my eyes.

Feel Your grace and power Flood into my life.

As my brokenness And Your strength collide,

When Your love comes down,

Falling down.

As I fall to sleepAs I fall to sleep

Will you be thereAs I grow cold?

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!!

Well, I am almost caught up. Last Sunday, was an amazing day. I was at congregation and worship started and by the end of the first song the Spirit of the Lord had fallen and just filled the room. We, sang maybe two or three more songs. In between the songs the worship leader asked us all to get on our knees before the Lord and just wait there. It was amazing, everyone, even the musicians all got on their knees and there was probably 10-15 mins of silence in the presence of the Lord. Then the pastor shared his message and service ended late. It was an awesome time with the Lord. I actually still need to go back and listen to the sermon online because the Lord was dealing with my heart during that time. And I want to hear what Wayne said since everyone said it was good. Then after service I went up stairs to the Prayer Tower and had a healing teams ministry meeting. We will be starting in Sept. a Healing Rooms type thing on Sundays after service and I am on the team. So that was all exciting.

Than this Sunday, I talked to Hilda this afternoon and I told her that I feel called/lead by the Lord to do the night watch 12-3 three nights a week. And she was ecstatic. So starting this weekend I will be doing/completing the night watches on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday (technically, so it's the morning of those days). So that is exciting, we will know be close to 24 hours a day for three days.

Nothing else has really happened, other than the Lord providing what is needed. Ohh ohh, you have to hear this story. Two Shabbots ago, a group of my friends had all gotten together for Shabbot dinner. They were going to have chicken, so a few of them went to the Shuk to get the chicken. They got two packages and the guy said that there are 8 in each package and they knew the house they were at had a couple pieces, but they also knew they would still be short some. So when they got home they counted and they had 21 pieces. Then they started washing and breading them. My friend noticed that there seemed to be a lot of chicken. So when they were done washing and breading it they counted and they know had 38 pieces of chicken. They were amazed and praised the Lord. But then as they cooked the chicken instead of it shrinking as it cooked the chicken began to swell. The chicken got bigger as it cooked. So my friends had multiplying chicken for Shabbot dinner. The Lord is so good.

To swim where Jesus walked

You know it took me two three weeks to finally understand that phrase, "you can swim where Jesus walked." I thought that the lake had just expanded past the shores of Jesus's time. I didn't think Bible stories. So anyways, on Saturday the congregation that I attend took a trip up to the Galilee to go swimming for the day. It was a blast.

The views on the drive up there where beautiful. And I had a good conversation with the guy I was sitting next to. I could just tell that the Galilee area was a more peaceful than Jerusalem. There was just something about being there that was refreshing. Even though I didn't see any sights, I felt like I met with the Lord, again even though I didn't take any time out for that.

Once the bus arrived at the beach, I hopped out and went swimming until lunch was ready and then hopped back in until we had to leave. So I didn't get around to taking an pictures other than the ones from the bus. While I was swimming I felt something touch/rub up against my leg. It felt fairly big and I freaked out a bit. I don't like anything touching me in the water, not sea weed or fish, nothing it's just not right. So I had been standing next to Michael and Bethany and the next thing I knew was that I was next to Bethany in Michael's arms floating on the water. It took me about 5 mins to be able to put my feet back in the water. Later, when I was getting cleaned to get back on the bus a guy from the congregation asked if it was me who said I felt something rub up against me. I said yes, and he said it was probably Peter's fish, they like to nibble or rub up against things. I was glad I heard that AFTER I got out of the water. I believe I was told that the area we were at is across the lake from where Jesus drove the evil spirits out of the man and into the pigs.

Enjoy the pictures!!

The hills of Jordan.

The Jordan River is right next to the road you see.

Here is the Sea of Galilee or Lake Kennert, looking to the west.

Watchman, watchman what do you see?

Long time no write. Sorry, I think about writing and than I never get around to it. That is partly to do with the fact that I wake up and go straight to the Prayer Tower and than hang out with friends until late and then go to bed and start the cycle all over the next day. But I will try to get better at it.


So, I think about 2 weeks ago I moved into my new place. It is very nice to have a room to myself. I like the quietness, but I find sometimes I get bored or lonely. But the first Sunday I was here I swept the floor and there was this monstrous pile of dog hair.


So a week ago Wednesday was amazing. I had a watch at the Prayer Tower and then I went to join Bethany for a watch at Succot Hallel. It is an Aaliyah watch, to call forth the Jewish people to come back to the land of Israel, and I am her prayer leader. So I look up and read scriptures about the Jewish people returning and than pray into it. Well, it was amazing. I simply started with my Bible open to Isaiah and then flipped page by page and the Lord revealed amazing scriptures all the way through the prophets that were amazing and I had no idea were there. And as I would speak them and I would tend to read the whole chapter rather then just a verse or two and then Bethany would sing it. New songs just came out and were beautiful.


Later that night was the Jerusalem Praise Experience and Bethany and I were asked to help direct traffic. So we went to the Pavilion and got our free t-shirts and we went and stood at our posts. I was out on Aggripas St. I was standing there and there was about a foot ledge in front of me. I started thinking, I am out here watching for people to direct them to the Pavilion and there is this little wall in front of me, I'm a watchman on the wall. And this thought came to mind and this is a physical version of what I am doing spiritually. (Since then the Lord has been speaking watchman to me. Including my favorite song right now Let the Fire Burn.)The Praise Experience was amazing. It is very strange to think, this is the third one I have been to and the program of songs hasn't changed and yet each time the spirit falls in that place. In fact I think the anointing gets heavier each time. So it was a great time of worship and then I headed up to the Prayer Tower to direct people again.

Then I went home and talked with mom. I was excited to talk to her because our friends, pastors from Mexico were going to be there and I haven't talked to them or seen them in almost a year. So David and Julia come and sit down and David comes over on crutches. Apparently, it was the second attack on his foot in 2 days. So we sat and talked and then they wanted to let me talk to my mom. But someone asked if I wanted to pray for David's foot, I said sure. I prayed it seemed like a short disjointed prayer and then they prayed for me and then mom and I started to talk. Then in the background I could see him walking without his crutches. He said as I prayed he could feel something happening in his leg. Then they told me that he hasn't been able to touch it to the ground because of the pain or to let his wife touch it hurt too much. And he was now walking on it. The Lord healed his leg. And when he went home he packed the crutches in the trunk. God is so good.

Well, there is more to come tomorrow.

The Covenant

I moved into my new apartment on Sunday, yay! So I now have my own QUIET room. So will tell you all about that tomorrow.

God is good all the time. There is/was a huge convention going on in Jerusalem. It is the Foursquare 2007 Convention. I heard about it because my friend was singing in the Tommy Walker choir. So yesterday I thought I would go, so I could hear Tommy Walker and Jack Hayford. Well, I got up there to register and they said it was full and it would cost me $175 dollars for the whole thing. So I went home. That helped make my decision about Tuesday night. Because Tuesday night, today, at the Convention was the last performance of the play The Covenant forever or a season.ICEJ: The Covenant And I wanted to go but I also had my watch to be at. So since it was filled up I didn't have to worry about asking permission. So today I slept in because I wasn't feeling the best. I got up in time to get to my staff meeting and than after the staff meeting was my watching. During the staff meeting the convention was mentioned, since Hilda was there*. So I brought up that it's full and the play. And we moved on with the meeting. At the end of the meeting Hilda leaves and comes back and she slides on the table to me her badge to the conference and says, "go, I'll take your watch". So I got to see the last show of the play and see it for free. And it was amazing. It is simply the story of God's covenant with His people from Abraham to the birth of Israel. And it's a musical. It was fantastic. I am very thankful that I got to go and see it.

*Today is the ninth of Ov. It is the day when both Jewish Temples were destroyed. It is the day the Ferdinand and Queen Isabella sign something kicking out or killing the Jews in Spain. It is the day when the first Jews were taken to concentration camps and killed. It is not a happy day in the Jewish calendar. In fact many stores were closed in remembrance. So, today Hilda was at the convention and she turned around during a time of singing "Hallelujah" and she said to look out and see 3000 believers worshipping on that day in Jerusalem was just amazing.

The Wizard of Oz

So, yesterday I wanted to write in my blog that I wanted to go home. There's no place like home. However, today I am doing better, still not perfect, but better. Within the last three days many things have happened that are making feeling like I am just going around the mountain again. I don't feel like I am making ground. One is where to live. the lady I am going to rent from called on Mon asking if I was going to rent and I had told her 2 weeks ago that I would. And now we have to meet with her and her land lord and it just feels frustrating because last year I didn't have to do that. It could all be nothing but it's frustrating. Then on Mon I changed my airline ticket home and later that day I ran into conflicts with my visa run and the date I just changed my ticket to. And now today my visa run completely fell through. So I now have a week to plan a trip out of the country. And to top everything else off I hurt my back a little over a week ago and it hurt to sit. So yesterday I really just wanted to go home. Today I feel better however because God it good I guess. This weekend it the "One Thing Conference". There is apparently a lot of spiritual warfare going on because (so to speak) of it. I feel that if I can just push through to the conference that it will be better. It will be a good time of filling and refreshing.

And yesterday or Mon morning I had a good dream. There was a crowd of thousands of people in a stadium. The place was packed. I was coming on stage as the speaker. I was speaking on abstinence. So, that means the crowd was youth and young adults. Here comes the fun part, my husband was just off the stage and I was pregnant. And as I was talking I mentioned that this was my second child. Now I know that is a different dream but I really feel like it was from the Lord. Pretty much everything in it is a confirmation of other visions or words. We'll see what the Lord brings about.

But it's one of those things that in times like this, where I feel stressed that I need to hold onto dreams and visions and words that I have received from the Lord. And know that He has brought me here and that He will provide. Sometimes it's hard to see that in the midst of it all but it is still true.

The Square

So, yesterday I spent the day relaxing. Taking a true Shabbot. Actually I was trying to recover from an injury that had occured earlier that week. However I was very bored by 10pm, since I had done nothing all day. So I gathered my few things I would need if I was to go out and went down to the lobby. See stuff usually happens down in the lobby. After sitting there for awhile in slight pain a friend came down the stairs and said she was going to join a group in the square just a block away. Now, I should have stayed home and gone to bed, however, I really wanted to see people. So we went to the square and there was a group of people sharing the good news, and there was a group of musicians. So, I chatted with a few people, that I knew. And then I just sat there praying for the people there. Both the Jews and the Christians. I'm sharing this because when I talked to the students at the school I used to teach at one of their questions was have I shared the Lord with anyone. My answer is still no, but now I can say that I was there backing those people with prayer support. Because I know that as of now my role is not an evangelist, but a behond the scene type person. It was fun, my injury than did not go away but I am positive I was where the Lord wanted me.
