~My Offering~

Your name is beautiful
Your name is sweeter than honey
Your name is like perfume poured out.
And I love You oh God.

And I cry out
To know you more
Oh Lord
I want to be
I want to be
Your servant Jesus

So take me ask I am
I give You my life
as offering
I’ll give you all I have

I pour my life,
my everything
at your feet
May it be a sweet fragrance
unto You Jesus.

I want to be like you Jesus
I want to be a imitator of Your Kingdom
Shave away my plaque
Refine my heart and purify me

So take me as I am
I want to dance with You again
The dance of intimacy
So, I give you my life
This is all I have
It’s my offering to you

I lay here and
absorb Your heavenly presence
Jesus
I am off struck by the
Weight of your glory

I look to you
To find my way
I look to you
To find my strength
I look to you

To find the love
that never fails.
Jesus
All I want to do
Is live my life for You.

Cause You are
My Father
You are my
Creator
My friend and brother
Jesus You are more than
Enough, I love you.

~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 fiancĂ© (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.

~A Revelation of the cross~

It's been some time since I last posted something on here. I want to share with you is burning on my heart, but before I do that I want to tell that getting to where I am now was a long, long hall. I went through very dry season. I had a very hard time finding time as well as wanting to read my Bible and intercede. It was very hard.

Let me tell you though, I have learned things through this long dry season. I have learned for myself that even when it's dry we must seek God out with all our hearts (that is easier said, than done) I have experienced God's faithfulness, I have learned that the dry season is only a season... it's not forever!!! PRASIE THE LORD!!! I have learned that even in the driest times God will show Himself in unexpected ways!! Thank You LORD!!!

I am so full of the joy of the Lord. I have been brought out of this dry season. God has stirred this new passion, hunger and desire for me in my heart. Man I am so excited. I feel like my heart learned something. Ha if that makes any sense to you. I was watching a Todd Bentley Video and he was talking dwelling in the secret place. After I heard talk I felt my heart had been opened up to something new. I want to seek out God with all my heart, mind and soul. I want to dwell in the secret place. God has been giving so many more dreams, visions and words for people. I am so hungry!!!!!

Seriously there is so much I wish to share with you, but I can honestly I cannot put what my heart in feeling into words. The last couple weeks I have feeling God's love for his people. I was home group one night and I closed my eyes and I got vision of Jesus right before He was put on the cross. I saw Him getting beating and then I saw Him beating put on the cross. I felt as though I had revelation of the cross and God's love for us. Man it's incredible.

Today I went to the Good Friday service at my church. My dad and the Bishop carried down this huge cross from the back of the church to the front on their shoulders. Watching this was very moving. There was time anyone who wanted to go to the cross and kneel before it. I sat in my pew and starred at the cross. I began cry because it was so powerful. I felt God's heart I began to picture him on that cross.

It's easy for us to forget what God has done for us. I pray that everyone that reads this blog may have a whole new revelation of God's love for them and a revelation of the power of the cross. It's only through Jesus dying on the cross for us that we are able to have a relationship with him today. Remeber He died for You and me. He loves You so much that he was willing to die on a cross for you.I am so thankful for that. I pray that whatever it may be that is holding you back from knowing Jesus that, that may fall to the ground so you may draw near to Him. He is my first love and Ilove Him with all my heart. May He pour His Spirit down on you this night. I am so thirsty for more of God. Jesus fill me up with MORE OF YOU!!!

~The Heart of Jesus~

Yesterday I was sitting in Tim's reading my Bible. God became to really show is heart to me through what I was reading. I was reading Matthew 15: 29-32. The Story of Jesus feeding the four thousand.

Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down. Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them. The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.


Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way."



As I sat there I began to picture myself being there as Jesus was sitting on mountain side. There were CROWDS of people coming to see Jesus; they believed with ALL THEIR HEART that they would be healed. Imagine CROWDS of people who were lame, blind, crippled, and mute and many others. These people were all laid before Jesus.

Imagine this picture. It's it beautiful?

Jesus healed them all and people they were so amazed to see what He was doing. They were encouraged and their faith increased.

Jesus called his disciples to him and "I have compassion for these people, they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way."

Right here I saw and felt the heart of Jesus. He has compassion for these people. He watched them as they follow him for 3 DAYS and then he healed them of their sickness. He had a heart and a deep love for them. He didn't want them to leave hungry.

I can go further with this but I wanted to share with you my heart and what is burning inside of me. I sit here and cry because I feel the heart of Jesus. He is showing me and having me experience the same feelings He felt for His people.

I wish there was a better way I could expression the deep love and compassion I am feeling right now. I am so overwhelmed and overjoyed with God.

Picture yourself there
What are you experiencing?
What are you feeling?
What are you seeing?
What do you see?
What is your heart saying?



God is taking me into a new season. I feel I have come out of a long and dry season and I am excited to enter into a new season. Jesus thank You so much for showing the things You have shown me.

~Engaged!~

Yes many of you know Christian Gowan and I are officially engaged. Christian got down on his knees Friday night, February 16th 2007 asking if I would marry him. I said yes.

Hilary, Susan, Katie and Jen came home and they knew right away what happened. We all went over the chapel and began to worship God and give thanks. They all decided to pray over Christian and I. I was blessed and encouraged by everyone who prayed over us that night.

As it stands right now, we are thinking of getting married sometime in the beginning of May 2008....No set dates yet. We will keep everyone updated though.

Thank you Jesus for how you have directed both Christian and I in this relationship. All glory goes to You God.

Thank you to all of you who have been praying for us. May the Lord bless you greatly.

~Meeting Them Where They Are At~

It's been a while since I last posted something. I just thought I would share with you want God is doing in my life. As some of you already know I try to go to Tim's on Tuesdays to talk with people about Jesus. I find that this experience has been so stretching for me. I am stepping out of my comfort zone and stepping into someone elses so I am able to meet them where they are at.

Last Tuesday I went to Tim's and I sat on my own for a while. After reading a book for a little while I spent some time looking at the people around me and praying for them. I asked God to make an opportunity where I can talk with someone. As I continued to pray my eyes kept getting drawn over to this one side of the restaurant. I saw that there was a man sitting there all by himself. He had been there for a while. He was probably in his late 60's early 70's. I felt God wanting me to talk with this man. So after sitting there and trying think things over in my head, such as how am I going approach him, what am I going to say, I finally I got the courage to get up out of my own seat and sit down with this man at his table.

I asked him how he was doing and if it was alright if I sat here with him. We talked about what he does for a living and what I am doing in school. Also I told what I would be doing after I graduate. It was a very short conversation because his friend came for him to pick him up. As he left I got up to leave as well. I got outside and at first I really bummed out because I felt really disappointed that I never got to share the gospel with or even talk to him similar interests. As I lelt Tim's praying for this man God reminded me of something.


What God reminded of was, I said just enough to that man for him to understand who I was, what I believed in, and what I do. Also God reminded me that I what just did was awesome. It's not everyday where someone of my age would sit down with a stranger much, much older than they are and give them the time of day to just listen to them. I felt God really encourage me after that because I felt really down for a little bit. I wasn't sure if what did was right. God just completely encouraged me. He reminded me of what I was doing and how rare it is for someone to talk with a stranger. I left praising God and praying for the man I met at Tim's.

Thank You Jesus for all that people I have met and all the opportunities you have created and are creating. You are so good!!

~What Is On Your Canvas This Year?~

A couple of nights a go I was listening to a sermon on my laptop by Judah Smith. I found that God really spoke to me through this sermon. So I really want to share with you what God has put on my heart when I heard this sermon.

This is a new year. What does that mean though? With every New Year there are things that change, for the good and for the worse. Did you know that with every year it’s like we have this blank canvas, a new a fresh white canvas.

It’s exciting to think about a beautiful canvas every year. It’s up to us to find out from God what He wants to see on that canvas.

God gives us different seasons. It’s up to us to walk in obedience and walk in that season God has placed before us. As we walk out what God is calling for us on our lives then this will paint a beautiful picture on our canvas.

Now if we know what God is asking us to walk in and we don’t do it. Then the picture on your canvas will be blots of paints and it would really messy looking. It won’t be beautiful. Why is this? God wants us to be walking in the season He has placed for us.

We are His children and loves us, but it hurts Him beyond belief to see that His gifted and talented children are not walking in the calling He has set out for them.

I just want to relate these pictures together and how important it is for all to really press into God and His word and seek out what it is He has for us.

I think it’s important for all to ask the Lord what for in 2007?
What do want me to do?

As we seek after God more and more we become more intimate with Him. As you continue build a stronger relationship with God He will show you things that need to be taken away or possibly added on. God is our Heavenly Father. Like any Father is going to show us those things we need to put away.

For example when I younger I use play with Barbie’s, and dolls. I loved playing with them. As I grew older I came realize that I was getting too old to play with dolls. My mom decided to sell them at second hand store. After I got rid of them I felt better I even felt little older knowing I was ‘too old’ to still be playing to dolls.

1 Corinthians 13:11-12

11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

It’s the same with us today. Sometimes we carry things on from when we younger that shouldn’t be carry on as we grow older.

For example if you saw someone my age playing with a toy truck you would think that is really weird right. Maybe that is a little extreme but sometimes we don’t even realize t but we might we carrying on things we have not yet put away.

It’s important that each when have blank canvas we not only to ask God what goes on that canvas but also to ask him what do I need to put because I am older now.

God might want you to put away some things in the physical. It could be CD’s, tapes, books, clothes, magazines, movies anything. It’s you and God.

God might want to put away things in the emotional. It could be different attitudes, your way of approaching people,

As put things away we grow more maturely and also grow more intimately with God because are obeying what He is asking us to do.
I know that there are thing God has already layen on my heart that He is telling me to get rid off and to put.
He's showing the seasons I am to be walking. It's exciting, challenging, strentching all at once. Through it all we grow to know Him more which is so much better than anything else.

There are two questions I really want you two think about and leave with. I also want you to try to take time and ask God these questions as well.

1. What does God on my canvas this year?
2. What do I need to put away this year?

Take these questions to God

~Coffee and Conversation~


Yesterday I decided to go to Tim’s in hopes I would be able talk to someone about Jesus. I went by myself. When I got there I bought a coffee for myself and sat down somewhere central so I see where most of the people were. I pulled out a book from my bag and began to read. I read for a little while until I was caught off guard when I accidentally over heard some men talking about preachers and the different churches. My ears perked up.

Now let me tell you in the corner of Tim's there was this crowd of men ageing from 60's -late 70's. They were all in getting breakfast and their morning coffee. As soon I saw them I felt like there was someone there I needed to talk to. I was a little intimidate by them because there had to have been as least 8 guys all talking theirs trucks fixing and other people's trucks.

So I am still sitting in my spot far away enough so doesn't look like I am watching but close enough to see them. haha I continued to read my book or at least try because my mind was on the group of people and I was so nervous to talk to them. So as I reading I just began to pray for the right opportunity to arise and for God to be in control of the situation. Then something came to me. I really wanted to go to the Baptist book room to buy a Bible. I also didn't know what direction in was in from Tim's because I had never gone to the new BRB. Then a man walked in to Tim's and got his breakfast and his coffee. He ended up seating fairly close to me. As I was thinking about talking to this man about 5 of the other men left. I was just about to turn myself to say hello to this man sitting just down the bench from me when a man from the table to was looking at with all the men called to him and asked him to come over. I knew then God wanted to go to THAT table where those men were. I was still nervous.

I decided to go and ask to them where the Baptist book room was? So there I was went I got up out of my seat walked right over these men and asked them... excuse would you know where the Baptist Book Room is? They had to think about it for a second but they did end up helping me about. After telling me where it was I asked them if they came Tim's every morning. I also told them I went to school here and what I doing. From there we ended up talking about ministry, the church and how they see that there aren’t as many people in the church these days, we talked about what Taylor College, we talked about a lot of different things. After that one simple question where is the BRB? It went from there and we just talked about everything to do with the church. I remember asking them what their names were.... they told me their names and then younger of the two looked at me and said ' what are writing a book?' hahah I laughed and said no I just enjoy talking with people and getting to know them. They were both very surprised by the fact I was talking with them but they did enjoy telling me stories. I had such a good time talking with them and sharing with them about Jesus and then them sharing with me. It was really amazing.

Thank You Jesus for opportunities like yesterday where I could share and talk about You with other people I do not know. You are good!!

~The Pouring Out!~

Acts 2: 14 - 28

God’s promise is that He will pour His spirit out on all flesh. This began on the day of Pentecost where God poured out His spirit on the people. God continues to pour His Spirit until the day God will pour His Spirit on ALL flesh.

He does not say I will just sprinkle my Spirit here and maybe there, and I will chose who I want to sprinkle. No it does not say that. God will pour out his spirit out on to ALL flesh.

It’s like taking a big bucket of water and pouring it out on to soil so the seed may grow. God pours His spirit on us so we may grow more intimate with him.

What does God pouring out His Spirit on us look like?

Peter quotes on the day of Pentecost what the Prophet Joel prophesied. He prophesied about God’s fullness when he pours out His Spirit. You see what Joel prophesied was a fulfillment of the last days. The day of Pentecost was only the near fulfillment of the last days.
We know that we are living in the last days now.

Before this day God’s Spirit was only poured out in drops. In the Old Testament people would meet in the tent of meeting but it was only the priest’s who were allowed in the Holy of Holies. When you entered the Holy of Holies, it was only one person allowed in there at a time. They had to tie themselves to a chain so the people on the outside can pull them out incase they die there or fell or pasted out. This was not a pouring out of the Holy Spirit but it was God’s presences.

Now since Jesus’ crucifixion the veil in the tent of meeting dividing the Holy and the Holy of Holies has been torn and we are all free to worship as if we are in the Holy of Holies. But God had not yet poured out His Spirit.

What did the day of Pentecost look like?
What would it look like to see God pour out His Spirit on all flesh?

In verses 20- 21 Joel prophesy that even though the pouring of God’s Spirit will happen and it will be poured out on to all flesh. He continues to say that there will be judgment.

The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (ESV)

There is judgment. What are we willing to do? What are we willing to let go of for God to pour out His Spirit into us? Maybe we are holding we are holding on to things that are keeping us from getting closer to God, maybe our focus in our things not us God, Maybe our words and our actions are not reflecting God.

God is still going to judge us, this why we need to go to Him and confess our sins.

God has forgiven us. Peter quotes David in verses 25 -28.

'I saw the Lord always before me.Because he is at my right hand,I will not be shaken.Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope,because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.'

We have been redeemed through Jesus Christ dying in the cross for us. His Grace is Sufficient for us. God continues to fulfill His promise by pouring out His Spirit until the day He pours it out on to all flesh.

Call out to the Lord and ask him to pour out onto you. We can live in the presences of God, God’s Spirit pours out on to us because the veil has been broken and we are free to worship God as if we all were in the Holy of Holies.

~Cleaning Out My Closet~

Happy New Year's Everyone!!!

Family time, Turkey, leftovers, game night every night, chocolate everywhere, late nights, many conversations, knitting with my older sister, movies…bad ones... and good ones, an exhausted dad day on Christmas day (he had 4 serves to do within 24 hours), and a family that is thankful to be together during Christmas and celebrate the wonderful birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and wait for His second coming.

It has been really interesting for me lately. I have been in the midst of cleaning out my room. I am actually really enjoying it. I am doing this because I really do not have any other time to do it other then the one month I am home in the summer. I have been finding all sorts of different things....papers, old poems I wrote when I was in elementary school, old notes I would write to friends during class, old dolls, and toys, pictures I had drawn( ha I was amazed with my drawing abilities at that age).

I felt like I walking through the very stages of my childhood all over again. There were pictures of me when I was all of 3. I saw a picture of myself and my best friend Holly when I live in Quebec. Oh it brought back so many memories. As I looked at all the things on shelves, in my closest it brought back the simple mind set I had about life. The imagination and the things I would believe triggered within me. I had such a creative nature.

One other I have been experiencing is how important it is to stay in touch with friends. I miss all my high school friends and I wish I had the chance to stay in touch with them. I do what I can by talking to them online. I wish I could spend time with them. There is only so much one can do. Part of it is that we have really grown apart. I know and understand that they are in different places in life but I wish they would see how important this is to me.

I am also realizing how important it is to stay in touch with those who don't go to school with you and live outside of the city and/or the province. I came to realize that I have been doing a horrible job at staying in touch with people. I think a lot have a hard time with this ... or am I on my own. What I want to do for myself is get into the habit of e-mailing and staying in touch NOW so that when I leave college and am out on my own I hope that I can still stay in touch with my closest of friends.

I am sorry to all my friends that I have done such a bad job in keeping in touch with all of you. Please forgive me. I really want to do a better job at staying in touch with everyone.

Well that is all for now folks. May God Bless you in this New Year!!

~I Have Been Chosen~

Lately I have been thinking about my next couple of years and where God might want me. Questions spring in my head like….

What am I going to be doing this summer?


Where am I going this summer?

Where are you calling me God?

Where am I going after I graduate?

What will I do?

What do you want from me?

What can I do?

Let tell me you I am not worried at all I am more just thinking about what God is planning for me in the next couple of years. It is rather exciting. I look to God for direction and guidance with these questions. I give them all over to Him. I give my thoughts, my dreams, and my life to Him.
One thing that has been popping up for me in the last little while is Ephesians 1 after I read that chapter I found it very encouraging to me especially where I am right now. I encourage you all to read or re-read it. It is so good. There were a couple verses that really stuck out to me I’ll share a few with you.

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.

When I read these verses and the rest of chapter one, I really felt God speaking that into me. I felt him confirming my thoughts and my questions. Saying ‘everything is in my hands Jessie, just trust me.’ I felt so encouraged. I find that every time I read it I feel more and more wrapped in God arms. I feel the peace of Christ all around me. I so encouraged. FOR HE IS AMAZING GOD!!! HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I want to be wrapped in His Glory!! Thank You Jesus!!!!
Take these verses and be ecouraged. Make these your own between you and God.
WE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BY THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS. THE EVERY HAND THE CREATED THIS WORLD HAS CHOSEN US TO BE HIS OWN CHILDREN. THE HAND THAT CREATED THIS WORLD WAS ALSO BORN IN THE MOST HUMBLING OF PLACES… A STABLE. JESUS YOU ARE SO GOOD!!!!

~Breathe~

Breathe in
Breathe out

Every breath I take
I breathe in Your Kingdome
You’re Holy Spirit
You’re Creation
You’re Glory

Breathe in
Breathe out

I absorb the quietness
The moment
Where I am with You

Jesus said
Fear not
For
I am
With you


In the Stillness
You are there

Be Still
And know
That
I am
God
~ Psalm 46:10

Thank you Jesus, for You are so great and Your love is unchanging. For you breathed life into me.

I am finding the Lord taking things that I do and that are natural to me and saying-‘get rid of this and that’ I love my Father as my Father loves me. I Thank God, for showing me where I am wrong so I can continue to pursue Him more deeply.

Just wanted to share with you a little bit of what is going on for me.

~Truly Was An Answer To Prayer~

Today was an amazing day!! It truly was an answer to prayer. Many of you know my Dad. Many of you also know that he is a solid believer in Christ. Many of you don't know that I have dreamed of the day where my dad can see for himself where I go to church and how the community here worships God as one body. I had been praying for this day for a while, that my dad and I could worship together and he could see me worshiping God in a different setting than he is use to.

My dad drove here just to go to church with here today!!! We got to church and he and my pastor hit it off right away. As I was singing and worshipping I felt so thankful that my dad was able to come to church with me. I began thank God for His goodness. As I stood there next to my dad worshipping my heavenly Father, I began to cry with tears of happiness. This truly was an answer to prayer!! My dad said he really enjoyed the service and loved what my pastor had to share. He also said that he had preached on something very similar to that the week before so it was really good.

Thank you so much Jesus. You are so faithful and so wonderful. I love you so much! Continue to do what you’re doing in me.!!

~Where Are The Women and Young Girls?~

I just recently write a paper for school of Chinese women and girls, and why they are missing. The question is why are there so many women and young girls missing in China? It is because there are people form Easter Europe that human traffic these women and young girls. They become poverty to pimps. What are they used for? Their jobs are now to sell their bodies for money. This sickens me. My hearts breaks for these people. The pimps have complete control over them. They can torture them, chain them, drug them, and put in them into brothel homes. There are young girls as young as 4 are being rapped on a daily basis. Jesus help people. The sex trade is a multi - billionaire industry. These women have no choice but to do have say they are told. Their lives have been snatched away from them. It hurts me so much. This isn't just happening to Chinese the women; it’s going on all over the world. This is the slavery of the 21st century.

God please I am asking for a break through. I am pray for freedom from slavery. Change the hearts of these people who are buying the women and children. Have these people turn the hearts to you Jesus.

It's time to be praying for women and young girls all around the world who have been bought into sex slavery. JESUS SHOW YOUR FACE TO THESE PEOPLE!!!! MY HEART ACHES! IT BREAKS!!!

It's worth watching.

God Bless you this day

~Dream~

Lately I have been praying for the salvation of my friends from high school. God has laid them heavy on my heart.Monday night I remember I had a dream.

In my dream I was crusade or something it was take place underneath with huge tent. I remember John Crowder was there and he was praying for people by laying on of hands. The only people there I knew were all my friends my high school. I remember John was first laying hands on all the guys. I looked over and these guys I once knew unbelievers were getting filled with the Holy Spirit. I saw some of them weeping.I saw hearts being changed and transformed. I saw that there was conviction in their eyes. I remember looking around and almost being in tears because I had been praying for this day for so long.

Then John came over to me, I didn't look at him I was so focused on what God was in all my friends that I never even thought about myself. As John got closer I felt the presences of the Holy Spirit on him. It was so thick. I remember there was some of my friends standing behind me incase I fell.


Jesus you are so good. I love you so much. You how much I care for my friends. I pray that you will continue to work in them and show them more of who you are. I pray that they will stop rejecting you and begin accepting you. JESUS THEY NEED YOU!! If anyone feels the Lord is saying something to you about this dream please feel free to let me know. Thanks!

~Fervent Prayer~

Alright so last night I attempted to post a blog but then my laptop froze on me and I wasn't very happy. It has been amazing though with everything God has been showing in the last couple of days. I am so marveled by His works and His beauty.

I have been re-reading Revelation and last night Christian and I ended up talking a lot about it. It was really cool what we both had to share about it.

Revelation 4: 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
Holy, holy holy
is the Lord God Almighty,
who was , and is, and is to come.

Imagine declaring God's praise day and night. Not because someone told you to or because it was some sort of conference and everyone was doing it. But because YOU wanted to pray and declare His name DAY AND NIGHT WITH NO STOPPING!!!! HOLY HOLY HOLY is the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!!! WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME!!!

Picturing the four creatures saying this over and over again to me is so beautiful. It's a fervent pray.

Lately The Lord has been showing me over and over again the words 'fervent prayer.' I really feel God is taking me into a season of fervent prayer. Fervent Prayer - passionate, intense, sincere, enthusiastic, fiery.I feel like something has changed in me after last night something good, something wonderful. I feel even closer to God then the night before. I love Jesus so much. I only want more of Him. I hope that this blog isn't just another blog for you; I hope it's not just a bunch of words on a screen to you. I hope you realize I am sharing my heart with you. I am sharing my personal relationship with Jesus Christ with you.

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come!!!

Revelation 8: 1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

Oh wow!!! Silence in heaven? Imagine all those crying holy to the Lamb, all the elders all those who were worshiping God, all of heaven went silent. I can't even picture it. Can you? It's so powerful to think about it. All of those creatures who were crying Holy, Holy, Holy... day and night were silent when the seventh was being opened.

I want to know You more Jesus, I want to know more about you. The only I can verbally express right now is that I love You Lord. I LOVE YOU!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! GOD YOU SO GOOD!!! SO POWERFUL!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

~I Love You Dad~

I know it has been a while since I last blogged. I was just taking a break. God has been showing me so much. Taking little simply things in my life that I already knew but God would give me more of revelation about it. It has been amazing. God you are so good to me.















One thing God revealed to was something so amazing. It was during the Miracles in the Maritimes conference. The plan was that my dad would be coming to the conference during the Saturday sessions but it turned out that Friday night when I came home I got a message that he would not be at the conference. I was disappointed because I really wanted to see him there. Then during worship at the conference I began to pray and intercede for him. I began to cry because I knew how much I loved my dad and how much I wanted to see him there. Then I began to cry harder because it was then God showed me something amazing. He was showing me how much my dad loved me and then how much more God my father loves me. Then I became very thankful that my dad did a very good job at showing me and teaching about who Jesus is since I was a young girl. Also by him being my dad and being the father figure in my life
he did not defile my perception on Jesus.


I have to say that where I am today is hugely influenced by my dad. I looked up to my dad in so many ways. I love listening to him speak about his fiery relationship with God. He has such wisdom and understanding. All I can say is that I love my dad and I love him more for introducing me to Jesus.
