Day 46

Wow! I haven't blogged in a while, sorry guys! I've been so busy it seems just like the other day that I last blogged. Anyways, as most of you know last week I did "40 hours of Love" a fundraiser for my DTS fees that God told me to do. I learned so much during this time! I finally came to the knowledge of doing things unto the Lord! I found that I could do any chore, even by myself and still have fun if I was doing it for God and no one else! There were times when I was doing some extra chores and when I was done I didn't want to stop, I was having such a good time with the Lord and just worshiping him while I worked that it didn't seem like work, but I knew it was and I knew it was blessing others, talk about a win-win situation! I also learned during my 40 hrs that having a servant heart is not always being a Martha and doing chores it's also knowing when to be a Mary, and just be at the feet of Jesus, it's not selfish, God wants us to love him and have an actual relationship with him, he wants our hearts! A ton of cool things happened during that week, but the biggest praise report is that I sold my car! I was starting to wonder how God was going to provide for me, the deadline for the lecture fees were drawing closer and I didn't have anywhere close to the amount. But I wasn't about to give upon God, he got me down here when I didn't have any money, and I knew this is the place he wants me to be right now. Not too long after, I checked my email and found out that my family had sold my car for the price I wanted! with this money my entire lecture fees were covered and then had a few hundred left to go towards my outreach fees! This was such a confirmation, and it came at the best time because any later and I probably would have been stressing out and God knows me well, and knows that would have been BAD! So today is the deadline, and I can rest easy for a while, but not for too long because I still need about $3000 by December 4th but I'm sure God will provide, just like he is going to provide for some of my fellow DTS students who don't have the money today, even though it's the deadline, even if it's in the last minute, he's going to provide because he is so faithful, he has started an amazing work here and I have absolutely no doubt he will finish it!

So this last week was really AMAZING! Our speaker was one of our staff members here at the base, Harmony Brown! She spoke on the Holy Spirit, yeah it was life changing! I never really thought of the Holy Spirit as a person before, just as a spirit that wasn't really as important as the Father and the Son. The Holy is so important! We hear the voice of God through the Holy Spirit, we feel conviction through the Holy Spirit, we feel the presence of God through Him! I have such a greater appreciation for Him and now He's another person I can get to know better but there is no end to it! I really am in Love with God, I'm starting to get giddy when I talk about him or think about Him! I didn't think this was possible or normal before, but it's really THE best thing ever! I hope and pray that you all feel this way someday if you don't already!

Thank you for the continued prayer! I really love you all!
