I am so blessed!!!

    Man guys gratitude is just consuming me!!  I am so incredibly thankful and blessed to get to spend time at this place!  Everyday I get to spend six hours in the prayer room!  I mean who gets to do that at my age?  Or maybe the question should be who does God impart enough grace on to be where I am in life at my age.
     I remember being a kid and coming across the verse in Ezekiel 22 where it talks about searching for somebody to 'stand in the gap' but nobody is found!  Me being the crazy child who needed to understand and know everything in the bible that didn't make any sense I pounded my poor sunday school teacher with questions which she couldn't answer to my satisfaction.  Poor lady!  Love and humility hadn't exactly abounded in me yet.  I went home and questioned my mom on it and I remember her saying it was like pleading for salvation for somebody when they couldn't do it on their own.  That statement fascinated me!  That was possible? I mean seriously so I could pray that my friend would come to know Jesus and he would do some crazy stuff in the spiritual realm and the would come to know Jesus?  How weird!  And since it was weird...I wanted to learn more about it. I remember telling Jesus that I thought that was probably the weirdest thing he had come up with. (Clearly I hadn't studied the end times yet!) However if this was actually legit I wanted to know more about it.
     Man did God ever answer my prayer!  I am still absolutely fascinated with the life of an intercessor.  The fact that Jesus has poured his grace out upon me to the point where my 'job' right now is to sit at his feet for six hours a night and listen to him speak to me and then to stand in the gap for my family, friends and injustices around the world.
    Once in a while the devil tries to shoot a fiery dart at me that says something like "wow Terri-Lynn this is what you have chosen?  You could be a ballerina at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet or owning your own dance company or learning how to help your Father run his business but instead you chose this?  You chose to live in an apartment with four other girls and sit in classes for hours a day?"
     Ya it is what I chose!  I am so thrilled about it!  There is nowhere I would rather be then right here.  I am so excited with what God is teaching me, healing in me and revealing to me right now.  I can't wait to look back in two months with absolute astonishment with what the creator of the world can do with a prairie girl like me.  He sure is faithful :)
