What I learned in Preschool

So enjoy what Jesus taught me this year from my favorite little teachers... my preschoolers. :)

Now I am off work until the end of August. I'm spending my summer just enjoying my Jesus and all His many blessings He has given me including my family, friends, room, books, keyboard, nature, running, and more. And of course I am enjoying my latest little blessing... Adam... my classroom turtle who is staying with me during the summer. I'm also preparing for my mission trip to Africa. I am still totally blown away by all the money and support Daddy is giving. Ask and you will receive! Yeah... so far I've gotten over 3,000 dollars in less then two months!

God bless. And next time you see a little child remember to smile because JESUS loves You! :)

Yummy Worship

Whelp... I hope you enjoy this yummy worship video. I know my Jesus did! This was filmed at the Global Celebration conference in Youngstown, Ohio just a couple of days ago. What free, joyous worship. And I just gotta tell you some yummy Word stuff to go along with this.
If you are in Christ, you are perfect. We are told in Matthew 22:37 "you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might."(NASB) Basically you love God with every part of your being. And the wonderful thing is that Jesus made every part of your being perfect and holy by killing you with Him on the cross and grafting you into His righteousness, perfection, everything. Now we can love Him and worship Him as a unique reflection of Jesus Christ. We worship now in Spirit and Truth (John 4:23-24). Our worship is fueled by the truth of the Gospel and by the power of the Spirit of God who explodes like a wellspring out of our inmost being (John 4:14).
Worship is soooo simple. It is simply being you before God. You worship Jesus 24/7 by just being alive. You don't have to try to worship Him... you do worship Him. You don't have to change and put on a worship face. I dance like a mad girl for Jesus simply cause I love to dance. I dance at weddings, with my sister to the radio, with my preschoolers, and of course at church... and it's all for Jesus. I worship Him with my smile, while running, while working... 24/7 cause that is who I am. And that is who you are.
Song of Solomon 1:2 says "Your love is better then wine." Jesus' love makes us drunk and then what happens is His love transforms us into lovers that make Him drunk. "How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love then wine. And the fragrance of your oils Than all kinds of spices!" (Song of Solomn 4:10) Dang Jesus literal gets high off of us as we get high off of Him! This is the power of the Cross of Christ. This is why He came! That we enjoy Him and Him us. We are married to the the LORD JESUS.
So have fun and worship him with everything you are! And allow Him to pour His love over you soooooo much til you simply can't help but just explode how wonderful your God is.
The words of the song in the background of this video are "We have the best Dad in the whole world, in the whole world." PRAISE JESUS. God bless you!!!!!! Be released to worship your Daddy in complete freedom with everything you are 24/7. And remember how Jesus loves it when we love on others with His love too. You are really just loving Jesus when you hug, listen to, serve, bless others. Free yummy worship!

Miracles, Signs, and Wonders Conference

Hello peeps!
Just so you know that's a picture of Georgian and Winnie Banov. They are leading the mission's trip me and Alanna are going to this summer to Africa. They lead Global Celebration and also have huge revelation of the finished work of Christ. They were like spiritual father and mother to some of my favorite people- Benjamin Dunn and John Crowder.
Currently me and my super sis-in-law Jodi are attending their Global Celebration's Miracles Signs and Wonders conference in Youngstown Ohio. Already I've witnessed like five healings and really enjoyed the amazing testimonies and teaching by John Arnott. He spoke on how we are in the best of times and worst of times. Pretty sweet. Did you know Jesus did this like miraculous keeping chicken frozen in a plane thing that resulted in many coming to Christ, He multiplied toothbrushes, actually created new eyes for a boy who lost his eyes, and more. See all that jazz really is normal Christianity. We should expect nothing less from our beloved Jesus. His death and resurrection- Hi blood- is the miracle. All He wants us to do is drink the fullness of what He has already accomplished for us on the cross. Anyhozers I am excited what more Jesus is going to teach me about Himself during these conferences, what Jesus family I will meet, and how Jesus may use me. :) I still find it hard to believe I'm going to be with Georgian and Winnie for like two weeks while in Africa. Hearing Georgian speak at the conference yesterday was like music to my ears. I love how Jesus has made him absolutely childlike and I really believe I'm gonna have so much fun with them. Somehow all this still hasn't clicked yet. But the funny thing is... dang all along I have been in union with JESUS! Wowzers!!!! That's the hugest whoop whoop! Yeah your treasure is already inside of you- Christ in you the hope of glory. And you don't have to go to a conference to discover that! You have heaven's conference in you and you in heaven right now! Though a conference is sure a fun place to enjoy what you already have and taste the glorious reflection of Jesus from other's, let other's taste Jesus from you, and learn more about what Jesus has already given you. He is life and life to the full. Praise Jesus!!!! May you enjoy Jesus today and let Him enjoy you- me too! Jesus bless you! Later ya' ll.

Africa Mission Trip

So I just thought I would share with you all the big step my Daddy has me taking from July 31- August 13. I am going on a mission trip to Mozambique and South Africa with my friend Alanna. It is crazy how God is providing for us and supporting us! My faith has grown soooooo much! See I love to give my money away as the Lord leads. I got no problem giving a $20 here, a $50 there, maybe a $200 on occasion... see Jesus has purchased me and us all financial freedom. He will provide all our needs and give us what we need and some to accomplish His will. Of course I don't blow money I don't have...that's silly. But I tell you money is the smallest of concerns for the believer because we serve a really rich Daddy who loves to see how we will use His inheritance for His glory. So when this trip came around I kept it real with Daddy and simply told Him that Alanna and I each needed about $4,300 for this trip and that I wanted $5,000 extra to give to the ministry we are serving with. (O we are going with Global Celebrations by the way and joining with Iris Ministries for part of the time- a totally gen-you-wine crew.) Well besides the down payment I gave I asked God to give me all this money not a penny from my pocket. And in the first month He for sure got me and Alanna the first payment of $1,250 each. It was hilarious cause the payment was due on a Friday and Alanna and I prayed that Monday cause we still needed approximately $900 dollars. Well the next day we got it and some! Now for this month's May payment God is blowing me away even more! So me and Alanna already each had like $500 and then we were going to go on our first speaking engagement at another church just a city away that invited us to come. Well before we even left I received a check for $600. Then at the service God totally blew me away with this church of only about 30 people with such love and support I felt like heaven unleashed itself! The prayers and love would have been plenty but they gave each of us a $500 check as well and let us know they'd probably give more too! So in one day Daddy gave me $1,100 dollars and plus my earlier $500 I am over the payment for this month! I really do believe God will not only provide for our trip completely but will also give us the $5,000 and some!
So I have told you just how God has been with us financially, but I can't wait to see what He will show us down there and how He will use us to bless the poor, love on the orphans, witness on the streets and in garbage dumps, and share His happy gospel with those beautiful people! I only wander who will be blessed more- me or them. I always say my preschoolers are my best teachers... I wander what these precious African children will teach me? God bless! :)
FYI the trip we're going on is called Soul Safari and I encourage you to check out these ministries we're going with- they're amazing.http://www.globalcelebration.com/ and http://irismin.org/

Happy and Single (part 2)

Happy and Single (part 1)

The devil has lied to the single Christians that we have to be depressed and miserable and all blue during this season of singleness. Let me tell you right now Jesus also thought of singles when He died on that cross and declared "It is finished." So God bless you as you will see that through Jesus He has purchased your happiness in those single years. Have fun and eat up Jesus yummy yums before marriage and then let Jesus manifest that out of you whether in marriage someday or in another form. Have fun. This is divided into two videos by the way. Remember as my bro Drew told me once... this season "is sweet." :)

Enjoy!!! :)



I will tell you what. I have just enjoyed my Jesus' sunshine for the past two days, have had a good old fun time at my work with my preschoolers and co-workers, have had two wonderful runs, and just now have enjoyed sitting in the living room writing in my journal as my mom read on the couch and the sun was setting. See the beginning of this week I just wasn't feeling it you know. But then it's like God just told me to just stop trying, know that I'm a otay, and to just enjoy the sunshine. And I tell you what... it worked!!! Jesus can show you His glory, pleasure, peace, and simply fun in anything and at anytime. Just drink up. Remember too that the physical and spiritual are connected. He has given us every good and perfect gift for our enjoyment. If you enjoy something you give glory to God. And know that since you got Jesus all you can enjoy is good stuff.  It's His responsibility to keep you from being tempted by satan to dive into something naughty. So no worries. Just enjoy , enjoy, enjoy. It makes Him look good when you are enjoying the blessings He has given you. It's kinda like if you are a Daddy and give a gift to your kid. As a Daddy you want them to totally love that gift and use it. And chances are they will tell everybody without even trying to how great their Daddy is for giving it too them. Same way when a husband gives his wife a gift. What wife doesn't want to show off the gifts her husband's given her or special things he's done for her?! And what husband doesn't get a kick out of his wife's enjoyment?! So I got to tell you something today. My heavenly Daddy/Husband gave me two fun sunshiny days that we enjoyed together. So praise JESUS. And Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. And remember that it is only in the place of true enjoyment that fruit appears without you even trying. Do you want to see people saved? Then start enjoying your Salvation!!! And if you don't know how to enjoy your Salvation then simply let Jesus get you good and renew your mind. You enjoying Him is His job too. But I'll tell you what! He's knows you better then everybody... He made you for Himself... and He knows how to get His bride to melt in His arms. Just trust Him. He knows what He's doing. That's it. Period. The happy gospel. Enjoy Jesus and what He's accomplished for you on the cross and heaven is unleashed everywhere without you even trying. Trying has been killed on the cross. Just being is all that exists now. Praise JESUS!!! God bless you! :)

Happy... YES!

Hello friends!!! :) I hope you enjoy this my latest video. It lets you know that as a Christian you don't have to live your life all depressed and what not. You will view the word "happy" as the Bible defines it and see that Jesus is the happiest God/man there ever was. And it is His happiness we are drinking from. And this happiness does not depend on our feelings, circumstances, etc. but only on our wonderful JESUS!!! So enjoy and may Jesus cause you to laugh and smile as you watch these videos. Get em all Jesus! 
P.S. I find it hilarious how when I was making this video I experienced much technical difficulty aka techy "light and momentary troubles." That's why there's some major breaks in the video where my camera cut me off and I had to start over. But it made me laugh. O and the kitty you see is my Seymour. Enjoy him too. God bless. Eat up. :)
