Conqueror :)




Romans 8:37-39-In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Today will go down in history as a day, I (with the Help of the Lord) conquered one of MY fears... heights! My friend Tony took me ROCK CLIMBING! It was a sweet time with the Lord. I was leaning on the Rock, TRUSTING Him!! Tony was super patient and a great leader, but it was such an AMAZING reminder of who the Lord is (Trustworthy, dependable, faithful, just to give a few) and it solidified the truth that when we're abiding in Him, fear must leave :)

After this, we went on a short hike and found ourselves among some cacti that were in bloom... I had this thought of how we often times can see ourselves like a cactus, warding everyone off, in fear of others seeing our thorns, our weaknesses, our brokenness thinking, "stay away, only come so far, watch out, I'm full of thorns..." But really feeling how the Lord sees the BEAUTIFUL blooming flower amongst the prickly thorns! He sees the end from the beginning, we see our faults and our ugliness, He sees us as we are before Him, beautiful, delightful, beloved ones.

Song of Solomon 2:2--Like a lily among thorns, so is my true love among the young women.

Full-Time Intercessory Missionary :)


Psalm 89:1. I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

Much has changed since doing the internship! I am now at Every Home for Christ full time, praying, worshiping, serving the Lord in building His house of prayer here and in the NATIONS!! He gets ALL the GLORY... It's only by the work of His hand and His POWER that He's building up places of worship all over the world :)

The above scripture has truly opened my eyes to the Lord’s leading in my life. Since starting to work with Every Home for Christ (EHC), the Lord has placed His burden for the younger generation and discipleship on my heart. He is showing me how to carry this as I continue serving Him in our prayer room where the focus of my personal ministry is in prayer, worship and missions! He is awakening my heart even more to the worship of which He is due! I am growing in knowledge, skill and confidence as a prophetic singer and musician. Thankfully, I am surrounded by skillful musicians that are helping to equip me through vocal and guitar lessons weekly and encouraging me along this path!

The Lord has tied this burden for the youth in with leadership as I will be a leader for theWall internship starting this July! The internship rocked my world and changed my life, and I am excited that I get to pour into and train up interns as future leaders on fire for the Lord, that know, love and serve Jesus with all of their heart, mind, soul and strength for the rest of their days!

The Lord is being worshiped and glorified at theWall prayer room here in Colorado Springs 18 hours a day, Monday-Saturday! Corporately, we have been feeling the stretch of the extended hours as we press on towards 24/7 worship and prayer, but also feel the Lord’s favor as it is our JOY to exalt Him here as well as in the nations. We are thankful that He is bringing people to build His house of prayer!
This past year, approximately 11 million people accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior through door-to-door evangelism of EHC!!

I'm excited for ALL the Lord's Doing, and pray that He helps me in keeping up my communication with the community He has given me :)
