Happy Girl Rocking

DAY 17 OF THE 40 DAY FAST.

I feel like I have already had a major breakthrough in my heart. Especially in the area of faith. Faith being the substance of the things I hope for and dream for. I used to burn for revival and the ending of abortion, but somewhere along this dark night of the soul I found my passion dwindling and my belief wavering. Still drawing close to God and hunger for him ever growing, I was left numb to the issues that used to consume my intercessions.

It was a grace of God that I had burdens for the things on his heart, a gift if you will. but now I sense him drawing me closer, saying, "if you are going to burn with those dreams again, it wont be an impartation of knowledge but an impartation of my heart that only comes through union with me. This is a profound invitation and I know there are probably many others that God is calling to this priestly bride call.

I may not have a visitation from Gabriel the Angel, like Daniel did, but by faith I believe I am highly esteemed in heaven and the heart of God. Even in my weakness my heart remains steady. A few peices of pizza, a couple avocados, and a sweet potato, i press on to the goal. 40 days for 40 years.

What's been going on

Okay, so its been two months since i last posted a blog...no condemnation though. It has been quite a busy year. In February we led a team to the JHOP in DC. Then by March 1st we were in Moravian Falls renting a sweet house with an amazing view of the mountains. Moving is always a surprise to see how much stuff you have even though you thought your were living simply.

Then a couple weeks after moving we took a road trip to Atlanta for my cousins wedding. But don't let all these activities fool you. Brandon and I for the last month have really had an awesome time in Moravian Falls. Just being, and learning about love and the one who is Love, JESUS.

Our next stop is Edinburgh Indiana to visit Brandon's mom and dad. Suzy (his mom) is having back surgery. Then on to more joyous events, KJ and Brent's wedding. Molly, Revival, and I are going to drive all the way to KC Missouri, the farthest west Revival has ever been... outside of the womb.

OH YEAH! in the midst of all the activity, we decided we would get a puppy. He is an Australian Shepherd. There are Pictures of him, Revival, and a views from our new place in our PHOTO GALLERY LINK. Click on the picture of Revival in the left column.

Our beautiful Baby

Oh my gosh! I don't think i have ever been this happy about anything in my whole life. Our baby girl is so amazing. I knew i would say this one day because i have heard every parent say this about thier own child. But its true. I think she is the most wonderful, darling, and amazing being God ever created.

Even though the beginning memories were blurry from only 2 hour interval of sleep, by 2 months she was sleeping 8-10 hours a night, and now sometimes 12. I can't believe how much personality a little 16 pounder can have.

Well as you can tell i have crossed that great river from being a child to now being the parent. i hope to write more frequently and update more pictures as Revival continues to change.
