I am currently going through a struggle right now in my life.
I admit that it has been a long time since I have been down like this. But I am excited for God to pull through as He always does.
I really don't know what college I am going to anymore :/ CBU has always stacked scholarships, but has changed the policy THIS year. So, if I was just a year older I would not have to deal with any of this. Now I have to deal with expenses, and loans are not my preference... Not large loans. And my girlfriend is going through the same situation. Its funny how a week ago, I thought a major chunk of my life was planned out. But now I must rely on God.
I ask you to please remember me in your prayers. That Gods will will be done.
Psalm 34:18
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
O, how only Christians can rejoice in their trials!
Thank you Father for giving us victory through the blood!

Did You Hear The Voice?
I am honestly so speechless at this moment.
I keep reciting Psalm 100:5 "For the Lord is good. His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations!"
Just minutes ago I completed quiet time with the Lord. I started by rehearsing my sermon, and I found the Holy Spirit speaking to me. Teaching me about true suffering and the reward of it. I found that I learned a lot from the sermon (sounds funny I know) but God truly spoke to me. He told me to give it all for Him, absolutely everything in every area. And I have had this sort of moment before, but not in such a great degree as today. I really felt His grace. I really felt surrender of my own heart. And I really felt His presence. O how I wish to suffer for His name!
After the sermon, I prayed for an extended period of time. But time seemed to not be an issue at all. He spoke to me. It was such a powerful voice that I have never experienced before. I can still recollect the voice and I know that it was very real. Its an answer to a prayer that I have been shouting to Him for months now. I begged to experience Him at such a deep level, and God's timing was perfect.
I found myself crying before the feet of my Father, asking for His power! That He will use me, a small vessel, for His huge story of His glory!
God's grace is truly... I don't even know how to describe it. My prayer is that others in Arizona, America, and the world find that grace as I have. I did not deserve a single ounce of it, but I have received it! O Lord, how everlasting is Your mercy.
I felt led to writing this to encourage the believers. God is merciful and we (myself included) need to be CONSISTENTLY reminded of that.
I encourage you to come to the Gathering this Sunday night. I am very passionate about what I will be talking about and I am reassured that God will truly speak through me.
