#Mexidad

Hiii everyone!!! 
Not only that I am having an amazing time here spending time learning and growing in God also getting to know my team and making really close friends in the process. I have learned so much in these past ten weeks. I have given my life completely over to God letting him do whatever he has called for my life. Over the past few weeks I have learned on forgiveness and have forgiven myself and others. Also learned that we are kingdom shakers, world changers and freedom fighters!!! 
This past week truly had an impact on me!! We had Troy Sherman who spoke to us this week. Learned that I need to be  believing in God over believing in myself. Learning how I need to be like Jesus so that non Christians will want to be around me sooo that I can be God's love to soooooo many people !!!! The most valuable word I received from this weeks teaching is that We need to have a kingdom fit for a king. Meaning we as Christians need to make the world know God's love so that when Jesus returns he can have a kingdom to come back to. 
Throughout these weeks I have gotton tidbits of what I feel God is calling me to do and that is to work with woman convicts and to teach them to be champions in faith. I am so excited about discovering who I am and completely giving it to God and following whatever he has me to do. And then I want to go back home after outreach and work and go to community college for my generals and the plan is to come back to YWAM Denver and go to School of Social Justice. 
In about two weeks I will be flying to Mexico and will be doing ministry; jail ministry, vbs, working with kids and creating relationships. Also doing whatever God has for us!! After about 3.5 weeks we will be heading over to Trinidad, the plan is to  go to schools and pass out bibles and do bible studies with kids. And also do whatever God has for us! 
Thank you soooo much for your prayers love you all
P.S if you want to get email updates just message me your email and I can add you to the list.

YWAM

Hi everyone!! 
I  know it's been almost a year since I have written on this blog, I started it again; first of all because I felt in my heart to do so, also because I want to share all the things I am and will go through so you can grow with me as I go through my season at YWAM.  I'm in Denver Colorado and I absolutely love it. This base is so beautiful and it's truly clear that God exists. This past week has been absolutely amazing. I feel like I have been here for weeks already. I have found mentors that I know God out in my life for a purpose and friends who I can count on and are like family. The staff and leadership truly have a servant heart and I am so blessed to be here. These past four days have been a blur of amazingness of breakthroughs and curses in myself broken.  This is just a start off sharing my testimony to others and completely surrounded in love. It's amazing. And having a romance with God is something I have longed for and now have finally accepted God completely to him and surrending myself to God. 
Message me on Facebook or comment I would love to hear from you.

His love

Hi. I feel horrible, I started this to be an influence to people and to be there for people when I really haven't been. Why you may ask? The Normal answer; I'm human no I just have been so selfish and I feel horrible and i'm sorry. Maybe it was that I didn't think I was holy enough to reach out to people I am not holy I know that for a fact I know I am not perfect I know no one except God and how I long and strive to be like him. I don't even know what to say.But to say the least sometimes we just need to get on our knees and just talk to him say how much we love him. Tell him about our day. So if there is anyone reading this and you feel the same. Go down on your knees his love for you is so great you can come out of anything with him. HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU. And I know it seems like sometimes how can he still love me and I get that, trust me I understand but somehow he still loves me. He will love you always without any pay back and judgement. Just to get on your knees and pronounce your love for such an amazing God now that's an amazing feeling that can bring you the fulfillment of God and can make you joyous in every step. Please guys I am begging you. Give him your life and he will take over and make your plentiful then you have ever thought imaginative and you will be so happy that you have an amazing God who loves you! for everything you have done and will do. So go on your knees and confess your love for him because he loves you. He loves you so much <3

Blessed we are

Okay guys I was reading today in Ezra and I have been reading and reading and with this book it's kind of like a history book. I love it and so I came upon this passage and I realized how blessed we are as Christians. Yes it is the Old Testament, and yes it was way before in that time period, but also because how we are blessed. Obliviously we won't get killed from not going to church or not tithing or offering. We are purely blessed because Jesus came down and saved us from these old rules. This just makesme even more thnpankful of him dating on the cross. So think of this of how amazing our God is and how amazingly huge he loves us <3

Be yourself

Hey everyone I know I haven't wrote in awhile and I'm sorry about that. I admit I have not had it as my priority and I have seen and experienced the after effects of it. I have felt myself slipping from God. I realized that its not just you I am influencing and helping with God's word. I'm helping myself as well. My message to you today is be yourself. Don't try and fit the mold of the teenage hood your in. Or even adult hood. I know it can be hard because of cliques and people can be mean, but why not be yourself. Be the person that God made you to be. Be the person that you know you are. It's not easy at all.....even I have to work on it. Believe me I know I have to work on it. But it is possible! Lemme know if you guys have any prayer requests!!!!:))) LOVEYOU ALL!!!!

Faux?

Fake or faux or just not what we think it is. We have that so much in our society. fake lips, fake leather, fake pictures, fake people, fake faith. It all comes to the point of that really cute Ralph Lauren purse, but we soon find out after we bought it for $400 dollars it was just a scam. Where they might not ever want to take that chance again, so they may never buy a real or fake Ralph Lauren.  Or all of those flawless pictures in the magazine where we squint and suck in to try to be even close to that. It's all fake. We don't want our own faith to be like that. We don't want people to try and change themselves to act like us and have them soon realize its all for show. Or have your cheap leather come out to everyone around you as soon as you THINK you got them hooked. I know life can be hard and I know it can be hard to be real for all the world to see, but would you want someone else to see the falseness and have that be why they cant see the real truth in God. So be that real Ralph Lauren; yes there are glitches and zipper malfunctions
 but your still that real deal.

Joy of Seeking

Okay everyone. I was thinking about all of us and God and how we should act because of all the amazing things God has done for us!. Meaning we should have a happiness that is uncontrolled and it is the JOY OF THE LORD. We should have an abundant love for all things God loves; for all people including. We know God died for us so we should show our thankfulness towards him. Since he died on the cross for us. We should just show our love for him by showing it to others for his Glory.
Back to being extremely happy because God is in us... God knows life can be rough sometimes, but that's why there is prayer and the Bible and that is why we can talk to God to fill the emptiness and brokenness of life's happenings.
Then when we get filled with God's love we can show it to others. What I want and what God wants you to get out of this is...Show God's love with everything and everyday. I know it is hard and I know life isn't that great sometimes but when you
SEEK God he will help us. God loves us so much okay(:
Praying for you guys.
All for his Glory(:

Deuteronomy 4:29

But if from there you seek the Lord God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
