Oh what perfect love He has given us...

Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating the past week. I have been working on getting the blog done for Solomons temporary homeless ministry, which I recently found out is called Faith United. :) Please check out the blog and tell me whatcha think: Kingdom Perspective

We went out to Tampa last night and wow God is really raining down His blessings in that city! The clouds yesterday were dark and very ominous looking so Solomon and I prayed for God to keep the rain away because if it rains no one comes out! And of course there wasn't a drop of rain in Tampa while we were there. It was raining in Sarasota and all around Tampa though... Our Yahweh is so awesome. :) There was about 50 to 70 people there last night too! The word is really getting out! We only had one pan of food last night but of course Yahweh came through again and provided enough for everyone to get first, second and even THIRD servings! Hallelujah that's grace! Yes it was a beautiful night full of laughter, prayer, smiles, hugs and lots of Yahweh's perfect love. :)

I also have been reading this awesome book called Recognizing the Real Enemy by Miguel Demelli. I met Mr. Demelli at a Shabbat home fellowship a few weeks ago and had the privilege to talk with him for quite awhile and listen to a really powerful message (and be blessed by an amazing prophecy!). This book has been a huge blessing and I recommend it to every believer! I do not have a link where you can read about the book and buy it yet. I will get it and post it soon. :)

My Aunt Michelle and Uncle Bill is in Florida visiting from Colorado too! I am hoping we get to spend lots of time with them on the beach, fishing and just hanging out. :)

Well I gotta get going, I promise I will update again soon! Love you all! Be blessed! :)

Yahweh our provider!

I have been meaning to post about last Thursday temporary homeless outreach. I am so sorry it took me so long to do it. But let me start out by saying how awesome and wonderful God is! Thursday was amazing!

We usually have food on Thursday nights for about 40-70 people. Well last Thursday there was about 100-150 people! The word is spreading! Yay!

So we had two pans of spaghetti and one cake, one tray of cookies and one tray of cupcakes. Oh and we had 2 of those orange 5 gallon drink coolers (both were only filled a little over half way because usually that's all we need). Well once Solomon and I got to the park and saw how many people were there we immediately started praying for multiplication. We knew that unless God multiplied the food there was not going to be enough! And of course God was completely faithful! Not only did EVERYONE get a FULL plate of food (they do not skimp on the servings cause we KNEW God was going to provide) but lots of people even got seconds!! Hallelujah isn't that AWESOME? :D

I was the one cutting and passing out the cake and helping pass out the cookies and cupcakes, it was so awesome cause once the cake we had was gone I looked next to me where I had this big plastic tub that has all the extra plates and cups in it and on top of it there were two more little creme cakes. So I cut those up and they went really fast, well after that on top of that tub were a few bags of muffins and some sort of pastry that I didn't even know what it was lol. To make a long story short I kept passing out desserts like crazy and we never ran out, in fact we had so much left over we piled up plates and gave them to some people to take with them. WOW! God totally multiplied that food and BLESSED the whole night!

I had the chance to sit and talk with this sweet girl named Ronda and found out her 14 month old daughter is in the hospital needing surgery. I can't remember what her condition is called but it is something about her having a hard time eating and getting her formula and food down and keeping it down. No not the flu some sort esophagus problem. Anyways the doctors wanted to do surgery to open it up so she can get food down easier but she started showing signs of the swine flu (on top of the other problem she was getting the swine flu!) and the doctors said that until she gets over the flu she can't have surgery. Well this woman was of course beside herself with worry cause it is her little baby girl. So I talked with her for awhile and she asked me to pray for her daughter (Oh and her little girls name is Gracie... :D). So I prayed for healing, for peace and for comfort. She told me after we were done praying she had to leave but she said she felt so much more relaxed and at peace than before. Well that is just awesome by itself! But it gets better!

The next day Solomon came over to Mom and Dads to have Sabbath dinner with us. Jacqueline and Grandma and Grandpa all ending up having dinner with us as well. After dinner Solomon wanted to go back to the park to talk to some of the homeless people there to see if they wanted to go to church if the church provided a ride for them. Well I ran ran into Ronda while we were there. She was glowing with happiness and instantly started to tell me that she went to see Gracie that day and all signs of the swine flu were completely gone! AND she started sleeping better, eating and keeping her food down! Wow hallelujah! She said that Gracie will still be going in for the surgery (especially now that she is not sick with the flu and can have surgery) and I am just praying and would like all of you to come into agreement with me that either she gets completely healed so she wont need surgery or that when the doctors open her up that they see she is healed or gets healed right in front of their eyes! What a testimony that would be! :) So it was awesome to get a praise report on little Gracie so soon. I will be talking to Ronda this Thursday to get more updates on Gracie and I will make sure to keep you guys posted.

Wow talk about an awesome week! And can you believe this is only the beginning? This is barely a drop in the bucket to what God wants to do! Whoa! :D

And tonight I am going out to Tampa again so please please please keep praying for us, for the homeless and for the whole outreach! I appreciate you all so much and love you guys! Bless you!

A very blessed Thursday!

Had a great morning and afternoon today! My grandparents are in the process of moving into a new house so I am helping them out by getting it all scrubbed down and cleaned out.

Cleaning may not sound like much fun but I was able to chat with my grandma the whole time so it was fun for me. :) I am so blessed and happy that I am in Florida now and have been getting to know family I have been away from most of my life!

And tonight I am going out to Downtown Sarasota again to feed the hungry and homeless outreach. So excited! Can't wait to see what awesome things God is going to do tonight!

Please continue to pray for us and for the people on the streets. Pray for more breakthrough, hearts being healed, for provision and for Gods glory to rain down! :D

Thank you Lord for time with family and for the opportunities You have given me to share your love!

God is so faithful and makes me so happy!

Wow last night in Tampa was AMAZING! God is moving and doing lots of amazing things!

Earlier in the day I was at the store with my dad and in the middle of the store God randomly gives me a word of healing for someone with shoulder pains. So of course I was super excited about that and looking forward to getting to Tampa and meeting the person God was guiding me to pray for.

Well later in the night Solomon was talking to a man and found out he had severe arthiritis and was having severe shoulder pains. He couldn't even lift his right arm up hardly at all (couldn't move his hand past his stomach...that was how much it hurt). So I KNEW that this was the man that God wanted to bless with healing! He is a believer and was very happy to have me pray for him. I said a pretty simple prayer for him and asked him how his shoulder was and he tried lifting his arm and could move it all the way up past his head! Something he hasn't been able to do for a long time! Haha God took the pain away and I believe is healing his arthiritis! He was a really sweet guy and very thankful for God healing him. He was so surprise and for awhile could hardly say anything cause he was so happy/shocked. :) I know that feeling lol!

Later in the night Solomon got a word of healing for someones ear and God healed their ear which was AWESOME! We had lots of opportunities to pray for many people last night. Gods love was all over the park where we were at and really is touching people in Tampa! :) I am so excited for tomorrow night, going back out to downtown Sarasota for temporary homeless outreach. Its going to be an awesome night. :)

Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. It means a lot to us and every little prayer really helps. ^_^ Love you all and bless you!

I love Tuesdays!

Had an awesome morning talking to Steffy and Aunt Kellie on Skype today. We were learning about how awesome God is, how faithful He is and how powerful the Word of God really is! I love Tuesdays so much! I get to talk to my family in the morning and Tuesday nights I get to go to Tampa to serve people in need!

I am super excited for tonight. I can not wait to see what God is going to do! I have been praying for these people we are helping a lot and I have been feeling like God has been reassuring me and telling me that more breakthrough is happening. :)

Please pray for all of us who are serving these people and ministering to them and please be praying for the temporary homeless as well. Your prayers are very very appreciated and a huge support for us! Pray for more breakthrough and for us to move in the fullness of Gods love! Also please pray that we are moving in Gods wisdom and understanding instead of our own! Oh oh oh and also all your prayers for peace and for protection not just for us but also for those who are on the streets is a huge help as well!

I will make sure to post tomorrow about what happens tonight! Thank you and love you all! :)

For Steff and Ty

I wanted to say how awesome it was that you guys were able to come out and visit us. I had so much fun being able to spend time with you two and with the kids! Too bad I couldn't make it to Disney but next time you guys come out and if you go I will make sure to not to miss out on going! :)

You two have been an amazing sister and brother to me, so patient with me and I appreciate you guys so much! Check out all the pictures I posted on Facebook from your guys visit! There are TONS! ^_^

You are a blessing to me and I love you! Miss you guys so much!





This picture makes me giggle! Ty why aren't you smiling? LOL! Mike is peaking around the corner. Steff looks good but I look like I am trying not to laugh or something. Gracie looks like she wants to go home and Zane just looks tired! LOL!









This is the best picture I could find of us three while you guys were here visiting! I demand we take better group pictures the next time we see each other! :)

Yay for family and friends!

Oh my goodness I am so sorry for not updated for so long! God has been laying it on my heart to update more consistently so I will work harder to keep the posts coming! Thank you for your patience everyone. :)

It has been a very wonderful couple of months. My relationship with the Lord has been growing more and more everyday and I have been learning so much! One of the interesting things I have learned is that I will always be learning more! God will always be teaching us new things, the learning process doesn't just end, we won't reach that stage where we know everything. For me that is relieving! Learning is fun for me so knowing everything wouldn't be very much fun. lol! Plus not knowing everything has created many opportunities for me and God to have some very interesting conversations. :)

I am still very much involved with the homeless ministries that I have mentioned in previous posts. I wanted to share with everyone more about what we do and how the ministry first started.

The ministry is led by my good friend Solomon. I met Solomon at The Front through my beautiful friend Elena. Elena and Solomon told me about the homeless ministry and I knew right away it was something I wanted to do and something God was leading me to do. So I started coming out to help right away and have loved doing it ever since!

The ministry was started about a year ago when God lead Solomon to go to McDonalds and buy a whole bunch of double cheeseburgers and share them with homeless people in downtown Sarasota. From that night on Solomon knew where God was leading him. He wanted the opportunity to provide food to people who were in need and share Gods love with them. A local church in Bradenton started assisting Solomon in this ministry by helping to provide the meals for these people. So he started going out with some fellow friends and volunteers to serve these wonderful people once a week on Thursday nights (downtown Sarasota at the park across from the Selby Public Library). Even though it is only one night a week it has become so much more to the people out there who are in need. Many strong friendships have been built, people are getting good home cooked (well more church cooked, but you get my meaning!) meals, receiving lots of prayer, coming to Jesus, getting healed and God has been providing jobs and homes!

The word has spread about Solomon coming out on Thursday nights with lots of yummy food and now usually more than 70+ people are coming out! We have started to hand out clothing, shoes and many other necessities as well. And about a month ago God put it on Solomons heart to start going to Tampa on Tuesday nights to help out people in need there. Solomon asked me if I wanted to be involved with Tampa as well and of course I was super excited to have that opportunity and have been helping out on Tuesday nights! Going to Tampa has been a huge blessing for us has been an exciting experience to watch God work in Tampa as well as Sarasota and to be meeting so many new people and developing relationships with them. We've only been going for a few weeks and have had the chance to meet and pray for one man in particular for God to provide work for him and already he got a contract job to help build the new Disney World theme park! He moved to Orlando this week to start working and is getting into a new home! Praise God! :D

So being a part of this ministry has not only helped the people on the streets and ministered to them but it has ministered to me as well! My relationship with my heavenly Daddy has grown crazy amounts as well as my faith! It has been a huge blessing to me and I am very thankful God led me to Florida and to these wonderful people.

I feel like this is also preparation for the time when God sends me out to other countries to share the beautiful love of Jesus. I just have to say how awesome the Kingdom of God is!! And how much fun it is! That common misconception that when you move into the Kingdom of God and start serving the Lord everything becomes tedious and boring is so frustrating because it is so not true! I have never been happier and never had so much fun! :D I am so thankful for that!

I also am very thankful for my family. :) The Millers, Herzogs, Ballingers, Carricks, Broadways and the Barrientez! It was so nice of God to give me the best family ever. :) And no that is not me being biased, that is a fact! I am also very blessed and thankful for the Trevinos (Elena and her family) and for Solomon. Jesus spoils me with the people he puts in my life. :)

And here are a few photos I took a few weeks ago in Tampa. I am going to be getting more pictures on Thursday and Tuesday nights and I will be posting them on my Facebook. :)



My friend Solomon, in the car on our way to Tampa. :)





And another friend of mine who I have met through this ministry, her name is Jill and she has been helping us serve the food and she has been preparing a lot of the food. She is an amazing cook and a such a sweetheart!





This is one of the guys God has been loving on who has been in some tough situations for awhile now, his name is Jose and we all are very blessed to know him. God has been working in his life and we are praying for more breakthrough! Jose has been very open to hearing about Jesus and has told us many times how thankful he is that all of us are coming out there and helping out. :)





The guy on the left is Jeremy and he has been coming out for the past few weeks from a local Tampa church to help serve, pray with people and just love on them. He usually brings his guitar and will play some worship music which is so nice to have while we are out there!





I have more pictures I am working on uploading to my Facebook. So check in there periodically to see more pictures. :)
