A creative wind...

'Ello everyone!

So this week has been great- we have started our AMT's, Small Groups, and outreach is starting tomorrow... I'm so excited!

My AMT is Creative Arts- prophetic arts. I am really excited- I feel as if there is going to be a great outpouring over my art- which is crazy, because i haven't painted since i was 10. It's really interesting- Trisha was telling her testimony of getting into the prophetic arts, and she had said something had happened when she was young and stopped painting. Well- during class I was asking God what had happened to my desire to paint and be an artist, and he showed me that someone had made a comment about something i had done, and then i just gave up right then.. Anyways- so i have been feeling like God is going to be stretching me and maybe that Art is something that'll my outlet.. But i have signed up for painting on stage at the Simpson university service. Anyways- it's been a great week, so far.

My outreach is starting tomorrow- I'll be working at elementry schools doing an afterschool program with kids grade 1 through 5. I am so excited!!!!!!! I have to be apart of a childrens homegroup on tuesday night as well, which means i have to drop SOZO, but im going to pick it up as one of my AMT's next time.. cause i think everyone should have SOZO training.. cause its amazing!

Anyways- if everyone wants to pray in some money right now- that'd be pretty sweet.... the canadian dollar dropped this morning, drastically.. and its hurting my funds quite a bit right now. I just finished applying for my missions trips and all but one range from over $1000.... God is good- its going to come!

Anyways- mum and dad and the rest of the family will be here tomorrow.. and i am quite excited to see them all!!!! Pray for mum too- since she messed up her foot and calf!!!
She's going to get healed, i know it!

Anyways- i must get to bed.. lots of love!!!

I Live Only To See Your Face...

Hey Everyone

I just got home from the retreat, and it was utterly fantastic... More than I thought it could have been. I absolutely loved it. It was fun though- getting to know all these people, who are ALL utterly fantastically made. I love being in a culture where Everyone is moving towards the same direction- and everyone is ever supportive, honoring and loving. This is my type of place.

We left on wednesday in the afternoon, and got there around 3. We stayed at the Chico YWAM Base- it was brilliant. It's a hotel from the mid 1920's. What's really cool about this place is that it used to be a place of recovery and retreat for the wealthy/ hollywood stars. So it's absolutely gorgeous- the hotel is breathtaking, and the grounds are just amazing!!They have a HUGE pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, a sand volleyball court, a gorgeous waterfall that is like a ten minute walk, and so much more! It was great getting to know everyone, and playing volleyball was absolutely AMAZING. I have missed it so- ha ha.

But the services- WOW. So on wednesday night worship was like breathing.I was worshiping at the back of the sanctuary, and i began to soak on the ground and then i was gone.. I was talking with Jesus- just thanking him for this amazing year so far- just hnoring how much He has done in me.. and Just my heart for Him, and then God speaks to me and says "Dani, You have relentlessly pursued me, and now, it is my turn to relentlessly pursue YOU." And he kept speaking this over me.. I dont know how long I was gone, but it was the most amazing experience with GodI have ever had.. And I'm so compeltely pumped. Later that night I was completely intoxicated by Him,a nd was utterly full of joy.. you know how it goes.. ha ha
Thursday night was awesome too.. It was like celebrating new years! And Paul spoke on the unlikely revivalers... and it was awesome!! I was worse off than the night before.. so, it was a good time. ha ha

Anyways, I'm just so happy here, and for all of you who are still keeping me in your prayers, keep it up and know I'm praying for you. I really hope all is well, and that God is seriouly rocking BC with something incredible, because its coming and when it does WATCH OUT. Jesus has big things planned for those who are obedient and have interceeded for things to come...

To release it like a wave,
oh watch the Glory come,
Fill and stir,
we are crying out for more...

PS. We had the first rain today!! YAY- whoever thought I would be so excited to see the rain; I guess I really am a true BC girl.. ha

Won't relent until You have it all, My heart is Yours..

It's pretty simple today:

I Love, Love, Love, Love, Love JESUS!!!

I need sleep.. I have the retreat tomorrow. I'll let you all know how it goes- but know I am quite excited.

Lots of L.O.V.E

Do you know where your Heart is?

Hey everyone!

So it has been quite a few days, and I finally have my laptop, which is as good as new! It's really and truly amazing! ha ha. Anyways this week has been quite amazing! Seriously the first few weeks are all about cleaning up some of your crap! I have been dreaming amazing dreams- one of which I'll go into in a bit. We have been meeting lots of people, and really- I love it here so much! I come home from school disappointed that the day is over, and absolutely drunk from the holy spirit (yay!!). It can't get much better than that..

Tonight we had some girls over from school- they also live in the same complex as us! We just talked and watched Ever After (of course!).. I really love these people! It's amazing how real everyone is- you skip all of the polite small talk and actually get to know people. I despise small talk, so it's pretty sweet.

Last night Roz and I went over to a few of our friends place- and we kidnapped aaron and billy, and headed to red robbins.. it was fun. We just talked over some drinks.. pretty sweet.
Aaron and Billy are our canadian friends- they came with my roommate from toronto!

Anyways, so last night I had an awesome dream:
So i was at the sunday night service in the sanctuary, and bill Johnson comes forward and asks two first year students to come forward and give words of knowledge- he asks for Robyn and I by name. So we come forward and start giving off words of knowledge like crazy! we give out so many... then the dream gets a little fuzzy here... and then we pray for this guy that has a terminal disease. In my dream het gets healed.. and then i wake up
It was such an awesome dream!

ha ha

anyways, i should get to bed, but thanks all and keep me in your prayers!!!

Lots of L.O.V.E

Hello all!

I have a bit more time to post tonight.. which is nice.

Today was a bit of a different day- class was great, but i felt like i was being attacked.. there were a few of us that felt the same way. Worship was awesome- we had another new worship team on today; but once worship was over i began to feel achy, tired, and just really blah. It was awful... But I just found out that there were quite a few of us today after worship that felt the same. I'm feeling so much better... I just prayed whatever it was off..

So tomorrow we have the usual day at Bethel-... whatever that is

So tomorrow I have to finish writing my book report- but it shouldn't take too long, O'm almost done. The really nice thing is that we don't have to write like a 10 page report... we just have to answer questions... sooo nice!

Anyways, i have been dreaming a lot lately... so i guess that has been pretty sweet...
umm.
I'm trying to think of things to write...
but i should probably go to bed
keep me in mind

Love you all

xoxo

Hey Everyone!!!

I am totally sorry that I haven't been able to post much- I have been super busy.. We have been getting to know tons of people, and it's been great just connecting with all these people! I love love love it here!
I think I am more at home here then ever before!
The second week of classes just started, and it has been good. Today was on prayer! The whole day- Benni and Bill johnson both talked today.. and it was absolutely amazing.
I was feeling kinda low today, partly due to a huge headache. But tonight I went to my first SOZO class- and wow! it was awesome!

Anyways- i have to finish my book report.. but I will post again!

Lots of love!

oops-

Hey everyone-

Sorry for the change of blogs, but it appears that my other one won't let me in. But for those who want to see my first post please go to: http://the-new-season.blogspot.com

Alright so the first week of school has finished and it has been absolutely amazing! I have loved every moment here, and everyday more so than the last. Jesus has been doing some amazing things with me lately- you know how it goes- can't build on something when it's broken.. ha ha. I feel a million times lighter and I have never been so utterly happy and content ever in my life. It's only been the first week and seriously, it's going to get even better! Worship was utterly fantastic yesterday... by the end of it we all had gold dust covering us. it was sooo cool!

So basically this week we have just been going through the student handbook, with the exception of bil johnson and kris vallotton speaking. What i absolutely love absolutely love about this place is that the focus on the culture is amazing: it's abou honoring one another and of course, loving one another to no end. I love love love love that..
I basically just love it here.
When i get some more time- I will write about one day's main lecture... bacause they are so amazing and mind blowing and just completely simple and obvious

Anyways, thanks for all the prayers and I am totally sorry about the change of my blog.. but I will be able to update this one, easily!

Lots of L.O.V.E!
