I want to share with you guys more of what God is doing and what He wants to do. During our time in Isernia the Lord began to tell me what He wants to do with the 12 of us over the course of this month. We have 5 weeks without the rest of the squad and I knew the Lord wanted to do something big. I knew He was going to use these 5 weeks to draw us closer to each other and to Him. But I also knew that we had a responsibility to reshape the atmosphere of our class. We had to shift our foundation onto the truth of His word. I saw us drawing closer, and holding hands with others and bringing them in with us. And then when everyone gets back, we can draw them in as well and expand the Kingdom in a greater way. 

I didn’t know what we were being drawn into, I didn’t know what we were pressing into. I knew that it was what God had for us, but I didn’t know exactly what that was or what it looked like. I began telling others this, because why in the world would I keep it to myself. Others on my squad would agree with me, and even get excited along with me for what the Lord had planned. At the beginning of this week I was sharing it again with one of my friends, and in the moment God gave her a vision. It was the coolest thing ever. 

The 12 of us were standing hand in hand at the end of a hallway. At the other end was a glowing room with the door open. The Lord was inviting us into this room, but we had to be the ones to accept the invitation. We walked in, taking others by the hand. And then when the people came back for the spring semester, we couldn’t help but hold their hands and bring them in with us. 

That was one of the coolest experiences I've had in a while, because for weeks I had known that that was what the Lord wanted for us. But I didn’t get a vision, I didn’t hear His audible voice, it was just a knowing in my spirit. I had even said out loud that we were going to hold their hands and bring them in. I just didn’t know what we were walking into, but then He told us. A glowing room, a glowing room illuminating radiant light is what He has waiting for us. I am so excited to press in. I am so excited to be in full light, removing any ounce of darkness that I have been walking in. I am excited for truth to emerge, and healing and growth to take place. 

What an honor and a joy it is to be a daughter of the King. What an honor and a joy it is to have someone wanting the best for me. What an honor and a joy it is to be loved unconditionally, and have someone chase after me just to tell me that. He’s been running after me, and He has pinned me down just to tell me that I am enough, that He created me because He loves me, and that He will heal the parts of me that others have bruised. 

My Dad is the best, and I cannot wait to continue being parented by Him all the days of my life. I have been struggling with trusting the Lord, but let me tell you, He continues to prove himself trustworthy over and over again. I’m learning to love Jesus in new ways, and I have asked Him to show up. I’ve written down all the ways He HAS shown up since I’ve asked Him to, and there are pages. I love the Father, and I am honored to be able to serve Him for all the days of my life. 

Fundraising update! I only have $2,150 left to raise for this year!! The Lord has continued to provide and prove Himself faithful. I have seen Him work and bring in finances since I gave Him my “yes” back in May. I am praying that the Lord will bless those who have supported me financially as well as bless those who will continue to do so. Until next time!
