He loves me, He loves me not, HE LOVES ME


So this is kind of a end of the week update taking that it's 20 minutes to midnight here currently. So this week has been really good minus the destruction of my ankle of Wednesday. Our speaker Etienne Peiterse (South African) was hilarious. Very random humour that just kept us laughing. Get this - He's SEEN Jesus.. like seen Him.. with his eyes.. twice. Like how many people can say that! Anyways.. so beyond my jealousy on that point, he (Etienne) also got saved by a man he held at gun point. He asked the guy to pray for him, the man said no, and he pulled out a gun and told him to do the prayer with him. I know right, ridiculous. This guy has an amazing story.. absolutely incredible. Anyways he's very prophetic (sp). So this week I've been dealing with a few issues and I've just been praying that God would help me see what's going on and stuff. So today during class I was sitting down as people were praying out whatever was on their heart after the lecture and then Etienne chimed in and basically said he got this picture of a girl that felt distanct from God, that was seperated by some wall. And he wanted her to know that God is just waiting for her to reach out for Him so He can take her. And the entire time I've been here I've been talking to Aggie about this distance I have with God even though I can here Him speaking to me. So I look at Aggie, small group leader, and she looks back at me and smiles cause she knows whats going on in my head, then Etienne says he wants to pray for whoever that girl is and then I just started crying. Like I lost it for a few minutes and Aggie came over and I looked at her and was like.. this is ridiculous. So that was the first time God used someone to pull me in. The second was that yesterday and today during class we had a time to get into little groups and share and pray about something that God layed on our hearts that was keeping us from going all out for him and stuff along those lines, just things that we place before Him etc. So we all shared our deal.. and then TODAY after I got back from the doctors a friend and I were walking in late to dinner and he stops me and says oh I forgot to tell you something earlier, and I'm like okay ... what is it? so hes like okay. this is from God, I swear its from God, and he said "God wants you to know you're beautiful" and I just froze and then he walked away. If you knew what I shared youd understand more but Id rather keep it to myself but still.. like 2 times in like 5 hours God used someone to pull me to Him and it's just been so great. I can't believe the amazing ways God has been ending my weeks. I love going to bed happy on Friday night!

peace & love!

Psalm 73:28 (NIV)

28 But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
