God is still moving in a mighty way!

Hey everyone!

Despite the fact that I haven't posted in a LONG while, that is NO indication of the amount of amazing things God has been doing lately! It would literally take me probably 5 hours to sit here and recount everything to you all... I am in complete awe and amazement of the things He's been bringing forth in my church, my youth group, my family, and my own life personally, and to think that this is just a GLIMPSE of what He desires to do! Anyway, though I still don't have the time to tell of all that's been going on, I will say that we are actually in the beginning stages of revival at my church, and have started to see a huge amount of fruit just in the past few weeks. The number of testimonies of healing and the goodness of God displayed are increasing, not to mention that God has started a wildfire in the youth group. In fact, I'm more excited about that than almost anything else because it has been an INCREDIBLE transformation to watch. It has honestly been a move from night to day, watching the kids move into significantly more freedom in worship and expression to God, increased desire for His presence, and hunger for genuine encounters with Him. And this has literally taken place over a period of just a few weeks! Before we could hardly get them to talk or express their thoughts about God, and now they're sharing testimonies with one another of encounters they've had with God, and how they've been changed because of them! Come on, Jesus!

Needless to say it has been an incredible summer that absolutely falls into the "exceedingly abundantly above all I could ask or imagine" category. No joke, it has been phenomenal, and I am beside myself with all that God has done. And the crazy thing is I've only got about 2 1/2 weeks before I head back up to Bethel, and only He knows what MORE is to come! My greatest prayer now is that I will finish the summer well, in honor and love in all my relationships, and that I'll head into this next season prepared for what's coming.

Before I sign off, I want to release a flood of new prophetic art over you! :) We just had our last prophetic arts workshop on Friday night and it was AMAZING. It was bittersweet for me because I have been so blessed to be able to teach and share with everyone, and I will dearly miss our times together, and yet God's presence was SO strong over us that evening that I have no doubt He will only continue to increase His work among the artists in my church in the months to come. I'm posting alot of pictures here so I won't be able to write out descriptions for each one but if you want to know specifics, feel free to email me and I'll fill you in!

Blessings on you all! I'd so appreciate your prayers over my last few weeks of summer! Thank you so much for all your love and support thus far!
