this morning i got a surprise chat from Charity, Rebecca, and the children :) how awesome is technology-- they are in AFRICA and we got to communicate!!! their kind words and affirmation of love is just what i needed. to know that countires seperate us but God's love makes us feel so close.
"WE will be praying that God will put you in a job that will bless you and fulfill a desire of your heart!!! FAVOR is on you daughter of the Most High! :)
Tonight during prayers we will lift you up!" -- this is from Rebecca-- what more could i ask for??
i appreciate everyones love and prayers during this time, not just theirs. i am extrememly blessed to have such an amazing community, family, and friends who lift me up and our out their love. to you, i am thankful :)

a love like this
i LOVE baptism sundays at the vineyard!!
they are SOO refreshing. thank you jesus for moving the hearts of these ppl, your followers, to declare your name in public.
i have seen a lot of baptisms performed before but the first time i was at vineyard and it happened to be baptism sunday i was amazed at how many ppl there were going to be!! all the ppl getting baptized line up along the side of the balcony and just filter down...that day there had to be over 100...men, women, and children. during the baptisms, they have the whole thing up on the big screens and the worship band is playing, ppl are cheering, ppl are crying, its awesome. days like that really bring everything in life back to focus. what this life is all about. i didn't know a soul getting baptized but there i was cheering and clapping, crying along with them :) my friend turns to me and he said, ash i feel like ur giving me a baptism over here- lol
i went a couple weeks ago to baptism sunday and wasn't there but 10 mins. when this couple caught my eye. the rest is from my journal, yeah, i actually had to stop worshipping and write down how much what i saw touched my heart.
there is a man and a woman getting baptized today- she looks so excited, and he is wearing a shirt that says i heart shareena. melt. they are married. as they stand in line you can tell she is just bursting w/excitment! so precious! i can't even help but watch them :)
watching her husband support her, pray over her, and stand beside her in the baptism pool was truly a gift from God. my heart yearns for a love like this from God.
Father i pray that you would prepare my heart for whatever you have planned for my life. It is hard for me to let go of my wishes and dreams but I will try.
as you wish.
God wants to give us every desire in our hearts. i believe that he has a man that is even better than my dreams. there will not be perfection. but there will be love. strength. loyalty. faith. hope. friendship. a foundation built upon jesus.
don't give up. don't settle.
can u trust god for one more day?
