Some things that I would love to receive miraculous prayer for:

. Finances (And that there will be God's grace as I meet with those in charge of finances to have compassion and help bring me to the best payment options.) I'm believing for miracles in this area, truly, I know money shouldn't hold me back but I have to responsible. I have never been in this position before in my life where that dollar amount loomed in front of me in such a daunting manner. But I know God has told me not to let money be the only thing that holds me back, because He is the God of everything--even that hard thing of money. Amen!

. My Roommate. I have yet to meet her--but I know this will be a special friendship.

. My work-study (I need a good job that can work with my hours)

. My connections with people on campus (Just that God would lead me to the right clubs/activities/people/ and such)

. Christian community and fellow worshipers (God has already begun to answer this prayer through Phil and Linda. They are the couple I stayed with when I flew in yesterday. They are relatives of friends of mine in California. What a wonderful, generous Christian couple! I felt so much peace spending my first night in Massachusetts in their home. It gave me joy as I feel asleep.)

So much love to all my friends and family! <3 p="">

From Here to There

I've returned from Norway. ;o) I did that in June. Well, technically I returned from Switzerland, by way of Germany. :o) On the plane to California I wrote in my journal wondering to God when I would be back in Europe. My heart already missed it as I flew over the Atlantic. Being back for 6 months has brought me through a time of transition. A friend of mine said about transition times, "Ah, yes, Transition is always hard. It's uncomfortable and things come up that you didn't even know were there, but it's only in this time of transition that you can really concentrate on those things." So. True. I feel I have learned so much in this time back home--from God and from myself and through the closer relationships around me. It has not been a particularly fun season, but I've definitely had some hearty laughs and good times. I noticed the laughing more because of the lack of it and realized--I needed to let God really get into my heart and bring back the joy of being free in Him. The joy of being a worshiper. 

     "The Lord your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy." Zephaniah 3:17 

Who is like God? No one. I mean, really, He's incredible! No one else satisfies my heart like Him. My pursuit of God, who He has called me to be, and what he has called all His children to do (make disciples) has led me to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Because, there I will be attending Lesley University, majoring in Expressive Arts Therapy. (More on that later) Freedom, hope, love--these are the key words that come to mind when I think about what I want to do with Expressive Arts therapy-how I want to serve others and God and see many come into the Freedom of being surrendered to God. There is a vision, and it continues to be shaped and changed, just as my heart does. I will be going into the school as a Junior and will be living on campus for this first semester. It will be quite the climate change. I am looking forward to it. I miss the snow-truly. :o) 

I plan to periodically share more insights, awesome information I'm learning, and pieces of my heart on this blog as I start yet another adventure! Please pray for me. Please pray for humility and a heart that is always yielded to God--where it doesn't matter if I know exactly where/how/when/who/why--but I know HIM--Jesus, my Lord, Love, Savior, Friend, and Expressive Arts Inspiration. And please pray for my family. We are all in different places in life and literally in location. Pray that our hearts will be encouraged in the individual callings God has for each one of us, and that we can support one another as a family in those callings. That is a heart's desire of mine. From Here to There, back again, off again, out, in...."The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever." Psalm 121:8 (Amen!) 

"Deuteronomy 28:6
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out." And I have been blessed! 
This was just a little "gett er' goin'" post and soon I'm sharing a bit of a video that's a work in progress (a personal project of mine)....check out the following post to come shortly. ;o)
