So, the Lord gave me a vision. I asked Him to show me His heart for Tomball. And now... I want to see my little town(ok, its not so little anymore) taken for the Lord. I want to see the people of God in Tomball rise up and take a stand against evil. I want to see them take hold of their calling in Christ and do everything thing in their power to make Christ known to the world. I want to see the Church(ALL of the believers in Tomball) unite and work together to declare the Kingdom. I want the us to constantly build each other up so that we can better serve Him. I want the Holy Spirit to pour out His anointing on this city to the point that anyone who so much as drives through this town will be affected. I want to see MIRACLES! I want us to expect GREAT things for God and attempt GREAT things for Him! Let us not be satisfied with where we are. I want Tomball to be a place where God's work is seen on every corner. I want people to look at Tomball and say, "I want what they have!" I want the non-believers here to be loved. I want them to see God's mercy and grace. I want the believers to realize their potential and calling. I want them to live a life of reckless abandonment for Him.

So last night I drove through Tomball praying these things over the city. I ask that yall join me in these prayers. I am now praying for the Lord to show me what he wants me to do to accomplish this.

Perspectives the other night...

I've been taking a class this spring called Perspectives . Its a sweet class about missions and God's heart for the world. Its been such an eye opener. Anyway, this last week we had a great speaker, Jimmy Dorrell, who talked about some really neat stuff. My dad posted on his blog some quotes so I stole them to post on here too... :)

"Tonight's speaker was Jimmy Dorrell, who started a church for the homeless under a bridge in Waco, Texas in 1992. He also has a ministry to the poor called Mission Waco.

Here are a couple of quotes from his talk tonight.

"People with problems, need to be part of the solution for the problem"

"We have taught so much and done so little." Talking about the American church.

He says they have an abundance of requests to help between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Come the middle of July, there is no help to be found.

My favorite story of the night is how they minister to poor families during Christmas. Instead of bringing free gifts to families and embarrassing the parents that cannot afford gifts for their children, they open a store and sell gifts and toys for 80% off. This way dignity is maintained and there is a price paid."


I really enjoyed listening to him!

Joyfully!

Been awhile

I've decided to start blogging again. Just because. So...

This year has been such a fantasmic year so far. :) I just don't know where to begin. For starters, I'm not taking any college classes. :)I am enjoying not having to go to class every week. I was planning on clepping my two history classes but... somehow things didn't work out quite how I planned them. Mainly because I was lazy and did not force myself to study for them. Time crept up on me. :) HOWEVER... the Lord is gracious and instead of clepping them I will be going BACK to tomball college and taking the actual class. This is a good thing for two reasons.
1) I will have a current student ID which means I can workout up there for free
2) More importantly, I will have a second chance on making non-christian friends up there.

I feel like I wasted my years at TC as far as that goes. I made a few friends up there but not really any lasting non-christian friendships. I really wish I had now. So, the Lord is giving me a second chance and I do not intend to waste it!

Well, more some other time because Allison needs the computer! (I need to get myself a laptop...)

Grace and peace to you, and all the joy of our savior!!!
