Holy Spirit Rush through My Veins

OOOOOh MY goodness was tonight amazing? YES...can i get an amen?

OK so, here at PLBC we had a night of prayer/worship. I was asked to paint as a form of worship to the Lord while the band played and while people prayed. I have always wanted to do this. And i had my chance...lets just say i was SO nervous about it. Everyone was going to see me painting and my end result. So ultimately i was afraid of being judged. But i God totally set me free of that and I'm pretty sure that was the best worship i have ever given him! the painting ended up blessing so many people. A lot of people had different interpretations to what the meaning meant and i was totally fine with that! Because i didn't want this painting to be about me, It was for the Lord and His people, i was merely a tool. The Holy Spirit guided me through the whole thing. I feel like i dont even have good enough words to describe the feeling i got tonight. God answered my prayer when i asked to be stretched, to experience Him in a new way. I have never felt the Holy Spirit rush through my veins as He has done in my the last few months.

I want to encourage you to ask for the same thing. Step out of your comfort zone with the way you worship God. Maybe that new way can be: cleaning your moms house, dancing while you worship, smiling at the people passing you by all day, painting, fasting, lifting your hands as a symbol of surrendering while you sing praises....there are so many things the list goes on and on. The point is, God wants you to know Him, to touch Him, to hear Him. You cant know every aspect of God if you only sing praises, or if you only pray. Find new ways to worship Him and I  promise you will be filled :) Let Him fill you up!

OH and OOOOOH my goodness this morning was an amazing morning can i get an AMEN?!

Ok so my Spiritual Formation 1 class (my favorite class) went to malls today just to bless people. Me and my friend Emily teamed up and set out to make someone's day worth it. So we went down aisles "pretending" we were looking for something and just asked people how they were doing, about 60% of them were so shocked and excited, one lady said "Its so nice to see smiling face" My heart just warmed!!! Near the end i got to have a conversation with an older woman named Dora. She was the cutest thing i have ever scene. So we got talking and i asked her if she was excited for Christmas. My heart broke because she wasn't excited at all. She said that she doesn't have much of anyone to be with during the Holidays. She had 9 children! 9 children and not one of them has there mother for a meal on Christmas day? I felt as though someone put my heart in a blender. BUt then she continued to talk so highly of her children and all the fun memories they have had in there lifetime. It humbled me so much that she still had a kind heart towards them and wouldn't say one harmful word against them. I ran out of time and my teacher called me over i quickly told her my name and she told me hers and i told i would be thinking of her on Christmas, and God Bless. OH how i wish i had more time with that sweet Lady. She blessed my heart so much.

After all of this i thought to myself...WOW when we go shopping for food, clothes etc. we are only thinking about ourselves, and what we need and we assume everyone around us is just another person in this world. And felt like i have missed out on so much. We went into the mall fully for others and not ourselves and we left so much better than when we came in...if we would have thought about ourselves the whole time we wouldn't have changed a bit. So why not everyday smile at the people going by you, or saying a simple hello, or ask them how they are doing. Try it sometime,  promise you will be blessed!

Can you all please come to bible college to you can do this with me? PLEASE!!!
