I'm back!

Hey everybody!
        Well I am back in Kansas City shortly heading into my third week!  Time sure fly's.  Being home at Christmas was such an incredible blessing.  It was fun catching up with friends and seeing how much life at home is changing!  My best friend is pregnant, several of my friends got married while I was away and several more got engaged!  I got to spend a considerable amount of time with family which was amazing.  I spent time almost everyday with Jason and Rachel, poor guys :p
        My mom came with me to drop me off.  She ended up spending over a week here and even joined NightWatch one night!  It was such an incredible blessing to be able to show her what day to night life looks like for me.  Thanks again mom :)
        These first two weeks have been tough but great!  It's a different hard then track 1.  In track 1 I found myself dealing with so much stuff from the past...God still brings up stuff here and there but not in such an intense way.  Now the Lord is challenging me in other areas.  I would say one huge vision and goal I have for these three months (and of course the rest of my life) is to rid my life of religious and American culture mindsets, theory's and theology.  I long for my life to be solely based on the Word of the Lord and that's all!  It terrify's me when somebody brings up a theory that I have been living my life upon and then prove that it is not biblical.  Just for an example Stuart the other day asking me how I would share the gospel with somebody.  Of course I shared how I would emphasize God's love for the person and who they truly are in Christ.  He asked me to go and look up all of the times the word 'gospel' is used in the New Testament and then read through Acts.  Well much to my shock whenever the apostles preach the gospel they never even MENTION God's love.  We have all grown up in such cultures filled with media that portray's different ways of receiving love and we strive for comfort in our everyday lives.  The truth is the foundation of the gospel was not love!  Taking from how these two weeks have been I am guessing the Lord wants to open my eyes to many HUGE areas where I walk in blindness following what I've known all my life but is not actually of Him!  I am THRILLED however it also hurt's.  It's not easy to realize how 'off' you are on your faith however I have so much confidence and trust in my Lord that I am excited for the journey :)
        Well track 2 is looking quite different from track 1.  We are taking IHOPU classes and are doing service hours around the missions base (prophetic rooms, healing rooms etc.)  Stuart Greaves is teaching track 2's in almost all our classes which is great!  I am very excited for a change!  Our schedule is a lot more open and we simply have to get in our service hours/homework/get to our classes etc.  This is making the transition to moving home much easier for us interns and it's a lot more about us and how hard we go after God and less about us being forced to go here or there.
        Now that I am back in the prayer room for 6-8 hours a night and I want your prayer requests!!  PLEASE send me anything that comes to mind and I would greatly love to pray for all of you :)  I will once again be keeping my blog up to date hopefully weekly.  I hope you all have a great God centred week!
