It's been too long...

So, last time we met I was living in November of 2010.
yikes.

Let's play catch up. . .

Since November I've been caught up in a whirlwind of activity, Really.
From driving the coast of California, meeting new people, developing relationships, learning who I am/what I carry, trusting, worrying, living, breathing, crying, laughing, being...

Let's hit the road. . .
Thanksgiving break (I'm doing this in like a one word listy type of style..to move it right along...) Driving, reunions, love, catching up, praying, crying, laughing, dancing, meeting, sharing/preaching, hoping, trusting... I liked November it ended happy and I enjoyed it.

December
My life has been consumed by the Word of the Lord. I'm learning how to 'step in' to what the Lord has promised. I spent December giddy, joyful and hopeful.

Hello, 2011.

The rubber has met the road. I made it back to Vacaville after my Christmas break, and as you may have read earlier I really enjoyed that part. Back just in time to meet the next fight. So, back to school I had a really rough time. I was struggling with things I don't 'typically' struggle with feeling like I was a failure and things of that nature placing a lot of pressure on myself and to be honest even up until 2 weeks ago questioning the validity of God, really. Wondering if I really actually could hear from the Lord. Did I make the right decision coming to school? Things don't seem to be working out the way they were supposed to. I still owe tuition, I won't be able to attend a mission trip... I've become a burden to my family who has generously taken on my car payment and helps me financially whenever possible. How is that a testament to the goodness of God to my family? ...Also, finding out that one of the people I've held most dear these past 2 years has been saying not so flattering things about me to people I hadn't even met and saying different things to me personally. You know I was just thinking through all that fun stuff

and now..

I took a step back and turned my heart towards the Lord. I reminded myself that I am seated at the right hand of the Lord in Heaven. I'm not only loved but I'm adored, favored and upheld by the very Word of my God.

I entered into the rest that is mine. I picked up the brush.
since my returned I've been commissioned to do 2 pieces and and picking up 2 more commission works. I am doing the very thing that makes my heart jump for joy, I get to impart the prophetic arts to my fellow students and be a direct part of that training process here at Deeper. I'm falling more and more in Love with the Lord and with the plans He has for me. I'm truly blessed to be here despite the circumstances that be. I know better. so... Rent you're paid. Tuition you're paid. phone bill you're paid...and all the other stuff...Meet Jesus...He's got your check just tell Him the amount.


I'm thankful for this school the staff and for what they do to pour into us.
I'm thankful that I have Jessica and Allayna and that I can go spend time with them and just know them
I'm thankful for my family and for all the strategic relationships the Lord has given me.
Mostly thankful for and unfailing, unchanging, steadfast love.
