Revival Group
WoW! Last nights revival group was Awesome!! I got to be the one in the prophetic circle this time. I recieved so many encouraging words as well as a few negative but HE outshines them all. I have a new sister in the group who I know God put us together for such a time as this. Can't wait to get to know her more! I am so glad I listened to my Lord about staying in this particular group. This week He has taught me more about the prophetic. This school is so much more of a learning and growth opportunity for me then I ever imagined. And I still gots 6 months to grow...go! Ha!

Book # 2
We started our new books today. This one is called Experiencing Fathers Embrace. I actually read this book last year and know how good it is. It's all about the Fathers love for us and experiencing His love. So I am really excited about this one.
We are required to read assigned books during the school year. We just got done reading the first one called When Heaven Invades Earth by Bill Johnson. This was my second time reading this book as well. But this time I got something totally different out of it. The first time I read Johnson's book the ideas he presents were so new to me. And this time I actually had more of an understanding b/c I have experienced some of the things he says in his book. We also had to answer a few questions on the book and do a book report on it. That helped me to ponder more on what I was reading.
Doing the book report was a bit intimidating at first but when it came down to it I thought I did an awesome job. Out of this experience I have learned something about myself....I can write!

Releasing the Prophetic - Weekend with the Backlunds
Last weekend I got to hear Steve and Wendy Backlund. They are awesome!! They did a confrence here at the church AuSSM is through. AND they were our AuSSM guests for class Sun. night. Plus, once a month AuSSM students can attend something called EST. It stands for Empowering Supernatural Transformers. This 2 hour class time is optional. EST'S are taught by guest speakers. This was my second EST to attend. The first one was with Chris Gore and last weekend it was with the Backlunds.
The whole weekend was on releasing the prophetic. I learned so much about the prophetic, words and prophecy, that it is kinda hard to process it all. I also recieved a word from the Bethel interns that were with the Backlunds. All thru the whole weekend I gots 4 words from different people. I did'nt know it before but after this weekend I love the prophetic. It is so fun to call out the gold in people! I got a couple books that the Backlunds wrote. One is doing a 40 day negativity fast. You can check out the Backlunds at ignitedhope.org.

10/10/10 - AuSSM
Class this week was sooo good! We did an activation exercise where we had to ask God how He sees us in heaven and what our name is in heaven. The name thing comes from when God changed Abraham and Sarah's name, as well as Jacobs. I got Belle, like from beauty and the beast and Prince for my husbands name.
We also sang a beautiful song that the girl leading worship that night wrote herself. It was such a sweet time in His presence...
Here it is! The song is called Head Over Heals in Love with You.

How I Came to Attend AuSSM
How I came to attend AuSSM...
When I first heard about Bethels school of supernatural ministry I thought it sounded really cool! Something I could only dream about attending b/c it so wouldn't work for me and my family. Then I heard about AKA, Austin Kingdom Acadamy, a school of supernatural ministry that opened at a church where I attended there womans ministry at. Still it did not seem doable for me.
So to make a longer story shorter...God hooked me up with a girl who ended up being my neighbor. I am so blessed to be here in Hutto with her! I started taking my son to the youth group at her church where they started AuSSM. It had been a couple weeks into it when one night I was dropping my son off for youth there when I saw a dear friend of mine from my church. (A baptist church by the way but I'm not baptist - this is a whole nother story) I was in shock! "What are you doing here?" I told her. And she replied "I am attending the school here, AuSSM" I was like What???? I began to tell her how I wished I could have done the school too but I didn't have the money and She began to tell me how she doesn't have money to attend but she commited to a monthly payment and she knows this is something God has led her to do. She said they will work with me in making payments go talk to the girl. So I did and here I am! I signed up that very night and made my first payment, after talking to my husband about it of course. I got my first book, student manuel, put in a revival group and homework. Got my first book report due on the 31st.
God is so perfect in His timing! AuSSM is perfect for me in that it's not to much or to little but just right for me And my family!

Family Restoration
I have finished reading the book of Job. What a story of tragic circumstances. You know that saying ppl like to say, when it rains it pours...
Well, the rain sure poured down on Job. Truly this man went thru a wild storm.
How lonely he must of felt not just b/c he experienced such great loss but those that were still with him only spoke negative into his life. On and on the bible talks about the things his friends said to him and not just one guy but Job had 4 guys speaking a whole lota crap. BUT God, He spoke in the middle of Jobs storm, and has job pray for his friends.
And after job prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.- 42:10
I wonder, what blessings am I missing out on b/c I am not praying for those who are against me, my enemies? The Lord restored everything to Job, including relationships. And the Lord blessed the latter part of Jobs life more than the first. v12
Last night I read a small portion of the story of Joseph. I read how he wept when he made himself known to his brothers who had hurt him so very much. But Joseph forgave and he saw Gods goodness in the midts of his circumstances. He welcomed his family into the kingdom, restoration took place. Again, we see restoration and provision.
I have some family I have not talked to in a while. I know that God desires restoration but its hard. However, when I read these stories of Job and Joseph I see that God wants to take my family relationships and bless them beyond my imagination. We were not made to live in conflict with eachother but in peace. Confict is one tool the enemy uses to keep us from seeing how God sees. He sees beauty in my family relationships and He longs to bless the latter part of our lifes more then the first.
Am I willing to take the steps needed so that restoration can
take place??

New Year's Verse
My verse for the new year is Proverbs 31:21
She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
I am looking forward to seeing what this new year holds for me and my family. Excited to see what treasures He holds that await me!
