Extraordinary events

Today was probably just a typical YWAM day for most, but for me, it was extraordinary. First thing I came downstairs to was a spectacular breakfast. This morning was a pastor breakfast, where some of the pastors from the area came and ate with us and fellow shipped. After that, they all laid hands on whoever they felt called to among the students, and prayed for us. It was the coolest thing. I felt God's presence. I was told that God wanted to give me a new name. Maybe not literally, but basically He wants to re-write my story. Change my destiny. Change my life. And I believe 100% with every bone in my body that that needs to happen. So praise Him! I heard that from a couple people... That He wants to re-write my life. Although it will take a while, it will be worth it in the end. And that God just wants to bless me with gifts... Anyways, that was so awesome. Then tonight we were at a bonfire. And Elle fell off a bench and smacked her head on the concrete. And obviously, like most two year olds would, started bawling. I grabbed my daughter and whisked her away as quickly as I could. As I was trying to comfort her on the hill away from others, Nicette, a staff member, came over and laid hands on Elle and prayed for her. Immediately she stopped crying. And immediately, the egg that was on Elle's head started going down. It is such a humbling thing to see that the God who created stars that the earth could fit in 2.2 million times, cares about a mother and her daughter so much , that He will take away the daughter's pain instantly.

Talk about WOW factor.

Movin' Day

Finally, the big day. We are here. We are settled. We are happy. J came. My parents came. Everyone seems pheonominal.

In these next 5 months, I am sure there will be friendships that are bonded together so solidly. I already am getting to know some of these girls. They are so amazing. Their hearts are wonderful.
Everone here comes from a truly different part on their walk in life. I have an awesome bunch of leaders here, too.

And get this: THE FOOD ISN'T CAFETERIA FOOD!!!!! It is delicious and spectacular.

Oh yeah- and Elle LOVES it here!!

We are both exhausted. And content.

Small little prayers

We have been implementing prayer before meals, and at random times of the day with Elle. I feel like it is important to teach her young to have a friendship with the Lord. This morning as I was getting ready for work, I heard Elle mumbling to herself. As I zoned on to what she was actually saying, I realized that she was praying. She was saying "I love love love love love you, God. And you keep me safe and so I'm not scared. Thank you for not making me scared..."

This little girl knows who her Father is! She knows that she can talk to him at any time during the day if she desires to.

It made my heart melt right along with her sweet words.
