~What Are the Girls Running After?~

I was just upstairs in my room praying and spending some time alone with God when God laid it very heavy on my heart to pray for girls. I really it was more the high school and young adult girls he wanted me to pray for but I pray for all girls. I had a vision of a girl. She looked like a model and then I got another vision right after that of a girl in a car with big sunglasses. She was laughing and was not watching the road while she was driving. I think might have been drinking. Then I saw her screaming because she crashed the car.

At this point it was when I asked God why I was getting these visions of these young women. He told me to pray for young women because many of them don't Me.

The world has got girls feelings like they have to be a certain person to "fit in".
The world says you need to be a size 0 to look beautiful
The world has got girls into not eating. They starve themselves.
The world has got girls thinking they have to dress a certain way to be expected. The world has got girls going drugs and drinking starting at a very, very young age - as young as grade 4. It breaks my heart.
The world has got girls believing that they are worth nothing.
The world has got girls giving themselves over to guys before marriage
The world has got girls running to pills, sex, cutting themselves, drugs, drinking when they are depressed.
The world has got girls questioning who they are
The world has got girls questioning happiness
The world has got girls questioning who is God and how many gods are there
The world has got girls questioninf who do should I worship?
The world has got girls asking themselves who are they living for


Every one of these things breaks my heart. When I was praying I began to cry because the enemy has such a strong hold on their lives that it hurts me to see that.
I began to pray against the works of the enemy and ask God to surround these girls and young women with His love. I prayed that they may find their idenity in Jesus Christ and not in material things like clothing, drugs, guys, make-up, etc.

THE MORE YOU REAFFIRM WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST, the more your behavior will begin to reflect your true identity!

I strongly believe God wants to do something in the lives of girls and young women. It's our jobs to be praying for them. Praying that they will come to know God and seek after His Kingdom. God wants us to get serious with our relationship with Him.

Note: To all girls God loves you so much. You are His daughter, His precious one, His child. He loves you just the way you are. You are beautiful in the eyes of the King. You make Him smile.

Those who know me well know that I have a real heart for girls and young women. I have a passion to pray for them and listen what God wants to do in the lives of women today. It really breaks my heart to see women running after worldly things to get fulfilled. Jesus protect them and open their eyes to your love. We need to be praying for girls and women to come to know God and His love.

1 Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light

Remember Jesus died on the cross because He loved us that much. He would die on the cross if you were the only one on the earth. Why? Because He loves you so much and YOU are HIS child. He longs to have a relationship with the every one he created. With Christ we are FREE!!!

~Go West Young Man~

It’s has been a while since I last wrote something here. Today I woke up very early. I woke up at 4:00am and headed to the air port. Why? My fiancé (Christian Gowan) left today on the plan to B.C. He’s going to be working in the church out there. He’ll be a parish evangelist there. He’ll be doing Saturday night services. The services will be more relaxed and laid back. They will be aimed at families with children and youth as well who don’t have families in the church.

In the mean time I am still in New Brunswick this year finishing my last year of Taylor. I am not going to see Christian for 11 months. I don’t count on seeing him during the Christmas break because we all know that it is really busy in the church during Christmas. The next time I see him for sure for sure though is April 2008 a couple days before my grad and then a week and a bit before we get married. Exciting!!!

I am really excited for Christian. I think God is going to use Christian to do some amazing things. I am looking forward to hearing all the stories. Am I sad that he is gone? Of course! It was really hard saying good bye and knowing I am not going to see him for 11 months. I find my comfort in Jesus Christ. Yeah I cry but I am also extremely happy that he’s out there. I know it all sounds confusing. I can barely write down what my heart is feeling because there are so many different emotions running through me right now.

I think it’s going to be a hard year yet amazing year for the both of us. It’s going to be hard that we are both so far away from each other but it’s also going be amazing for us individually. I know God is going take us both to an even deeper level of intimacy. I am SO excited for that! I am so hungry for more God as I write this blog. I just want soak in His presences.

One thing I do ask is that anyone who reads this that you would keep Christian and I in your prayers this year. I am sure some of you know that being separated from the one man or woman you love is very hard. All yours prayers will be well appreciated. Thank you.

2 John 1:3

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.
