So, I'm a couple months into school.
life is different.
I choose to live moment by moment, while pursuing a greater destiny.
Now then, it's been long overdue but I am now starting to set up my intercessory team. I have lots of stuff I need spiritual backing and prayer for on a daily and monthly basis.
I'm happy and really excited you all have taken the time to check in.
well. I guess a run down is in order.
During my time here the Lord has really been having me step into using and practicing my discernment. It's and incredible gift and sometimes very hard to manage and know what to do with. but, that's why I'm here right?! Also, The Lord has totally opened up my prophetic anointing and I generally just keep getting blown away by the things God is showing me on a daily basis.
today Dan McCollam did a little teaching and a lot of activation. and boy was that fantastic. I basically spent the day finally being able to put together some pieces of a puzzle God and I have been working together on! It feels great!
points of prayer
*First and foremost that God just show up more and more in this journey.
*That the families who have and are currently sowing into my schooling and personal needs be financially blessed and that Blessing and increase just spill out of heaven right into their homes!
*That He partner with specifically 25 people @ $50/mo to help with my financial needs while I'm here in the school currently working I'm making about $400/mo which is barely covering rent/food. I do also have to finish paying tuition and have phone, car, and a mission trip to look forward to :)
*and on that note that Holy Spirit highlights to me which trip to take the are several out of the country (only place I've been is Mexico and that was to visit family) and a couple here in the U.S
so be praying!
send me your emails with further questions or if you need my mailing address to send encouraging letters or notes (who doesn't love getting a sweet letter in the mail?!) open to ANY prophetic words you may have for me or prayer requests of your own!
Blessings and Increase!

Identity Statement.
Here's what we've been working on in school.
we've learned more of the nature of God and now through prophetic words given to us we've created identity statements. This is mine.
I am the forefront
I am the defended daughter
I am the defender mother
I am a refuge and I am in the refuge
I am creative, a teacher, a dreamer, a seer, a prophetess a drinker
I am a deep, deep well.
I am a wind chaser a world changer
My ministry is Love
I am the tree that bears fruit in each season
I am strong and I am powerful
I am Warrior Beloved.

In The Center.
Throughout this entire journey from start (being introduced to the idea of Deeper) to the present (I am a Deeper student) there's been the same struggle I'm sure most of you if not all are very familiar with. That is, "Am I really doing what God wants me to do?" and yesterday, for the first time I can remember, I began to cry out of excitement/joy/curiosity/thankfulness and really to best sum it up I was awestruck because I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I'm directly in the center of the will of God in my life. This conclusion comes only after very careful prayer and more confirmation than an average person would need. I'm here and I'm completely amazed at how God's shown up and just what He's done and who He's used to get me here.
NOT ONLY has He confirmed my being here but He's been opening up and uncovering the very precious and special gifts He's placed in me. I'm so excited. I'm just SO excited and really just in love with the present move of God in my life.
This past weekend I traveled up to Redding, Ca to visit with my dear dear friends. friends that hold not only a special place in my heart but they make my spirit feel at home! there was even a point in time when I, having never visited Redding, said, "I'm so glad to be back HERE." this statement was particularly profound to my spirit because it was the time my feelings and what I knew to be true (that we were all very connected in spirit) was confirmed. Anyway, during that time in Redding the Lord really showed up and worked me so-to-speak haha. He lovingly revealed to me something that I was lying to not only myself but my closest friends about. So because of that I was able to take care of it the best way I knew how and executed it with the help and strategies of the Holy One my dearest friend. I can't express to you the freedom I experienced from this!
Now, this week of school started off with God speaking to me about that release and the freedom I experienced. Not only did I feel the freedom in my spirit and general thought life but I experienced it in my tears and my worship. It was liberating!
I hit a wall... the next day (weds) I was having trouble pressing in during worship in the morning my mind was racing on about a million different tracks! it wasn't until later that evening we had our prophetic ministry time. There was exponential breakthrough. An excerpt
"Sarah, we're breaking off of you every feeling of isolation, of being alone of fighting the battles alone, hasn't been just a feeling it's been the truth. but now it's not true anymore this is a new time for you..."
This is only part of what was spoken over me during the prophetic ministry time. Can I just say...NAIL ON THE HEAD!! so dead on to exactly what I was battling that weekend.
Anyway I'm so excited to be able to share this journey with you! and if you'd like to be apart of my Intercessory Team send me your email address and you'll get personal emails and in depth updates on what's happening on a (hopefully) day to day basis.
thanks so much for reading continue to press in and search for His center in your LIFE!!!

What A Week It's Been.
Well, here I am sitting in...well Redding, Ca for this weekend at least. But, I've made the move to Vacaville, Ca! and wouldn't you know it The Lord answered our collective cries for breakthrough in housing jobs AND tuition!! My GOODNESS He has proven Himself to be faithful!
I'm super blessed to be attending The Deeper School! Already I've made great friends and like I've said to my dear friends from home I'm seriously no where close to who I was when I first stepped into my first session. What a life changing week it's been! I can't wait (and am a little nervous) for what's next
On to the good stuff....
Where/What has God done to me this past week that has made the most impact?
yikes! I did really just ask that...yup!
well, God has been, and is, revealing to me that I've got this Spirit of Rejection just looming right over me. He's telling me that I've been trying to "take care" of it on my own and that's no..that's not really workin' out for me. This all came to a point around sometime last night. So, I walked over to the Alabaster Prayer House and just listened I needed the guidance only God could give. Let's face it He pretty much knows EVERYTHING! and LOVES to give me advice...and it's always the best kind.
You wanna know what He said?!
I'll tell ya...
I was sitting at the edge of the water fountain in the middle of the Prayer House inspecting a rather interesting rock I had scooped up from the water. When I hear the Lord say "Do you see the intricacies of that stone? and the great care and detail I have put into it?" my first response was a quiet "whoa..." then, I proceeded with a questioning, "yeah?" then, a more affirming, "YES!" He then told me "I have taken more care and place greater detail in you, I LOVE you. You are perfect!"
and that was what I needed for breakthrough. So I'm (with the help of my Savior) slowly working through the tangled mess I've made while trying to fix it.
Needless to say God's been doing some awesome stuff this week.
How can YOU be apart of this incredible journey?!
Well...I still need $2,243 (remainder of tuition and books) by November 15th so if you can PRAYERFULLY consider there's a donate button here in my blog that goes directly to an account set aside just for school!
and more than finances I would love Prayer..just loads and loads of prayer!!! like....tons of prayer!!! cause without it I strongly believe I never would have made it even this far.
I appreciate so much the time you've taken to catch up with me here and to experience this journey right along side me. I'd love to catch up individually!

So, Tomorrow. GOD>circumstance.
Based on recent events. I'm getting a little worried.
I still need tuition and now help with a down payment on a place. EEP!!
In this mindset it's difficult to see past the things I don't have to the things that have been promised. I keep having to repeat to myself and to my spirit that.
I AM A CONQUEROR.
I AM VICTORIOUS.
and most importantly
I AM DEEPLY LOVED.
This is proving to be one of the most difficult positions I've ever been in.
It's literally down to the hour. I set out on my journey tomorrow morning and I'm really wishing I had more time. I honestly have exhausted all my options and now have to completely rely on God and His promise. It's just really getting increasingly difficult.
So, I found myself here, sitting in my car crying out to God. And all I hear is, "I love you." it was so comforting and terrifying all at the same time. It means this is real. I'm really going for this. This is where the rubber meets the road and I truly have to say and believe these words. "I trust in You!"
If you've ever been here, you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, let me tell you...It's liberating and very scary all at once. To be in the position to TRUST God beyond all reason is the most awesome (ADJ. inspiring awe) flat-on-your-face, humbling place you can be.
SO I ask you to be apart of this incredible journey I'm about to step into by joining me in coming before the Lord in awe and thanksgiving and enter into some heavy prayer time for His promises to be released and there to be a quickening and for Him to do it in a way He would be ULTIMATELY glorified. pray for RELEASE!
another way you can help is by donating... ANYTHING!!! any amount is a ridiculous blessing to me.
There are some people who have already gave all they could and to them I am SO GRATEFUL I can't say enough about their generosity and kindness.
SO please prayerfully consider giving what you can to help me in this exciting time.
Thanks!
With so much LOVE and Many Many blessings!!

Day By Day.
Well,
I've made it this far. I'm no longer in Ventura County which is strange to say the least. I'm spending time in Hesperia with my parents resting and spending time with them before I hit the road.
I guess it's just not real to me yet. I'm not sure why I've gotten the acceptance letter all my friends are already settling into their places and transitioning. Maybe cause I know it'll hit me on the 6th hour of my 7.5 hr journey. We'll see.
anyway I'm $690 closer to my tuition!!! Thanks to a few absolutely incredible people!
I have been surrounded by some really awesome people who bless me with prayer and in this case outrageous financial support!! I'm so GRATEFUL!! But, alas I am still in need of about $2,500 to make tuition!! I'm confident that God will bring it. Now, I'm just excited to see how He'll do it!
So, it's 2 days before my actual MOVE DAY... til what I'm calling.."The Drive."
and I'm in Hesperia plotting ways to raise 2500 (and maybe a little more to help with moving costs)
I'm taking this trip as a learning experience to go out and chase the things God has for me. I'm expecting this to be an intense year for me. I'm so excited and very nervous for this upcoming season.
Thanks again for your Love and support and prayers in this exciting time.
I ask that you all continue to pray for me on this journey. I'm SO appreciative and blessed by you all

down to the wire.
So, It's been a couple days since I've had the chance to wind down and really process what's going on. I even canceled plans to attend a sweeeeet church tonight. (expression 58 Studio City, CA sooo good) anyway...
Here's my story.
I'm moving to Vacaville, Ca to attend The Deeper School of Supernatural Life.
I know..the name of the school is pretty nutty... But rest assured this place is Legit! you can see for yourself google the deeper school and check out testimonies on Youtube!
So, this decision has come with VERY careful consideration and some HEAVY prayer time. God has reassured me He would bring the support I need to go. AWESOME!! You wouldn't believe how EXCITED I am....and how terrified I am.
This is really the first time I'm totally having to COMPLETELY rely on The Lord, not like I don't do that now...but I mean leave everything I have to follow this call He's placed on my life!
I really believe that in this time this is the place God is having me go. To be equipped and trained in the tools and the specific gifts He's placed in me. I'm so excited for this new adventure and I honestly can't wait.
as. of. right. now.
I don't have a job..I do have some pretty sweet leads that I can check out once I get up there.
I don't have a place to live...I'm in the works with some girls who will also be attending the school so Im sure things will work out there.
and more importantly..I don't have tuition..(3200+150 for books= 3350 for the WHOLE YEAR)
I'll need all these things by Sept 1!
I can use financial Support AND MOST IMPORTANTLY prayer support I am a FIRM believer in the power of prayer and the Love of the Father!
SO my dear friends and Family thank you for taking the time to read this.
rest assured I am praying for you and excited to for you to be a part of this journey I'll be taking THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Where's He taking her this time?
So, I guess I should give you some back story.
I recently moved out to Ventura, Ca to pursue the things God has for me out here. I fell in love with a FANTASTIC church with an amazing body of believers. Upon my first visit I knew I was "home". Now, I know what you're thinking...Man this girl's grammar is terrible! ha, bear with me, I write as I think...
anywho..
not only did I fall in love with this area and my church I fell into a more fulfilling, intimate and deep relationship with God. I've experienced exponential growth! and there's more to be discovered everyday! Don't get me wrong it hasn't been all butterflies and rainbows. I've had to do a lot of fighting/growing/self evaluating to get where I am with Him but through it all He's been good and it all has been AWESOME!
Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
So, that brings us here August 2010. I've been here 6 months in Ventura that is. Now for the "Purpose" thing...I'm finding that God likes to bounce me around. ha and what I mean by that is I've had an incredible opportunity to go and study under Graham Cooke and Dan McCollam!!!! at the Deeper School of Supernatural Life. http://tmvv.org/deeperschool.html
I'm more than thrilled at the chance to do this!
I wish to completely dedicate my life to bringing the Kingdom of God to those around me and impact peoples lives in intimacy and love!
So, for me to be able to attend this school I will need to raise $4,000 in 3 weeks!
YIKES!!
This covers the years tuition and books! so it's not bad for a year of schooling!
anyway to help raise this I'll be selling some of my art pieces and various things...if you're interested in any of them you can check them out on my Facebook Profile under prophetic art. let me know how much you're willing to pay and such OR you can give directly to my paypal account just click the link "Donate" and above everything I'm callin for some crazy Prayer! So, If you can support me in any of these areas let me know! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for your LOVE and support!
