Update on Liz and Glory to God!!

(Here is a picture of me and Andrew before going to see Cats over break)

I have not written in so long and I would never know where to begin to try to fill in all that has gone on...

Christmas Break was great and way too fast...All the family met Andrew and they LOVE him ALOT. My parents got a new house so that was fun. I went to a family Christmas celebration with Andrews family and they love me too. So that was blessed...on that front God is blessing us more each day and grew us both in Him during the break, espically when we went to Kansas City to OneThing. It is exciting to know God is blessing you and see His soverignty in your life.

I love my family and I miss them, I am 24 now so I dont see them much, time with all of them was good. Although I did work...OneThing is a prayer Confrence at the Internatinal House of Pray in Kansas Ciry. It was so amazing, I got so much of the word sopken into and was challenged. To spend New Years Eve fasting with 20,000 people praising God was amazing.

Now I am in Toccoa, which I call home at this point and feel blessed to do so..Winterim is kicking my tail...but it is soon over. However hard, it is amazing how much I have been challenged in the last week and a half by this class and discussions.

I am so ready for 2007 semster and all God has in Toccoa and for TFC. I believe in my heart He is preparing a great work for our school. I am pumped about SeedSower and Prayer ministries and feel humbled to be a part. It is also my FINAL semster! Thank you Jesus...I found out I am giving my senior testimony on March 5...suprisingly I am nervous. However feel called to do it...God is the only reason I am making it to this point and He deserves ALL the glory.

This is the year for me to find the place at Jesus feet and be with Him before anything else. Some things I want to work on this year or want more of in God....Wisdom, Humilty, Intimacy with God, Finanical Peace, Healthy living (loosing weight but no diet), The Knowledge of God through a Hinger for the word, a quiter spirit...there are more I am sure.

I love all my friends...God is moving and working and I am so excited. My prayer for you all this semster...

"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. " Eph 3:14-19

Faithful

God has been so very faithful to me...in so many ways over my entire life and over the last week. I love you Jesus! Below is one of the most amazing songs to Jesus that describes how I feel. It is by Enter the Worship Circle II circle. If you are worried, scared, tired, etc...trust HIM, HE is faithful and knows so much more than we do! "For His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts!" Isaiah 55:8

"I wanna sing you a love song, you are the thief of my heart. Rhythm and Rhyme try t describe it, no matter how hard I try I cant hide it!

Faithful you are faithful I have found nothing, but good in your heart. Loving you are loving I am in love with the way that you are. Thankful I am thankful, I had been running away on my own. And then you found me, oh how you loved me, I know you'll never leave me alone! (CHOURS)

I wanna sing you a love song, you are the love of my life. Rhythm and Rhyme try to explain it, no matter how hard I try I cant contain it!"

Never Underestimate My Jesus

Today is a NEW day.."Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassion NEVER fail! His mercy is NEW every morning, great is thy faithfulness! Lam 3:22-23

I just returned from the gym, it was so amazing. Granted I am really out of shape and made me realize how much "work" I need. It was just so good, God is so good. I have missed waking up in the morning and caring about myself and Jesus and just being with him as I ride the elliptical and listen to praise. Today I feel God is saying it is a new day! Thank you Jesus! As I was doing my last 5 mints the song by Jeremy Camp came on "Take me back" I know this song, but it wrecked me. This is truth...how am I not weeping in joy every morning that HE took me back and is still! Everyday I am so full of me...and dent REMEMBER what He has done and is doing!

The reason why I stand
The answer lies in you
You hung to make me strong
Tho my praise was few
When I fall I bring your name down

But I have found in you
A heart that bleeds
Forgiveness replacing all these thoughts of painful memories
And I know your response will always be

Chorus:
I'll take you back always
Even when your fight is over now
I'll take you back
Even when the pain is coming through
I'll take you back

You satisfy this cry of what I'm
looking for And I'll take all I can
and lay it down before
The throne of endless grace now
that radiates what's true
I'm in the only place that erases
all these faults that have overtaken me and
I know that your response will always be

(Chorus)

I can only speak with a graceful heart
As I'm pierced by this gift of your love
I will always bring an offering
I can never thank you enough

You take me back always
Even when my fight is over now
You take me back
Even when the pain is coming through
You take me back

Then as I was driving home I began to hear these words...

Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?
Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you, you're wrong.
Never underestimate my Jesus.
When the world around you crumbles,
he will be strong.
He will be strong.

I throw up my hands.
" Oh, the impossibilities."
Frustrated and tired,
where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly.
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fears.
I think I can't, I think I can't.
But, I think you can, I think you can.
I think I can't, I think I can't.
But, I think you can, I think you can.
Gather my insufficiencies and place them in your hands.
Place them in your hands.
Place them in your hands.

Oh how I underestimate my Jesus every day! He is always faithful and always providing. He has much in the past 48 hours from finances to rest to new joy. Thank you Jesus...wreck us God! Make us new over and over and over again!

Update

So this school year has been in for 2 weeks and it feels like months. It is truly the most amazing semester ever. God is doing so much at TFC and in my life in general. God has wrecked me and is consistently calling me to go deeper and deeper. Like the title says this is just an update, because I could NEVER say all that God has done.

So..it is my last year! YES! I graduate May 19th at 10:30am. After that, I am not sure what is going to happen, but most likely staying in Toccoa. I love it here, more than that I have a burden for this city that through intercession and servant hood I believe God can enable us to make a huge difference! I love some of my classes, espically Addictions Counseling, I am thinking of getting a CAC when I graduate. Which is a Certificate in Addictions Counseling. Which does not require grad school. But well see...trusting God in that. That is hard to do...but as I am telling myself everyday..."wait on God Liz, follow HIm and be in His presence, He has the best for you!" No eye has seen and no ear has heard the things that God is preparing for those who love Him. That is awesome cause I love him a lot!

The heart for prayer has increased at school SO much. We have a new prayer room, that is getting prayed in constantly. A 12 member intercessory team that intercedes for school, and many many others involved in the 6 regular ministries. We also have a weekly bonfire/worship time where God has challenged us and 50 or more people come together in unity to be free and seek Gods heart. The campus as a whole is hungry for God. Chapel is amazing and Jim is an awesome Spiritual Director. I am so excited for all God is doing.

God has given me some AMAZING new friends and I am starting to let them and my old ones really know and love me. I am meeting more new people as I transition from college kid to adult graduate. I moved off campus and now I am enjoying the space of preparing to graduate. I work at Stephens Co. Recovery Academy...love it!! :) God is so good to me!

So there is an update! Read LUKE 11...When asked how we should pray Jesus says...be persistent and know that ask it WILL be given to them, when they seek they WILL find, when they knock the door will be opened to them! WOW...Be blessed today and let the joy of the Lord be your strength! His power is made perfect in our weaknesses!

HIs Glory came down!

I am humbled in awe of the beauty and the GLORY of God. Last night I can honestly say God changed my life and heart and restored to me joy and faith like never before! Oh how little faith I have had and still do

Last night we had a bon fire at the college, that was just open worship and Revival was birthed and has begun. The new students are amazing, the are divinely here by God alone. There is so much I want to say about this, but I am still as Isaiah was in awe of seeing God and His glory. I could named specfic answered prayer, there was much but there was an outpouring of God. Joy was restored to many and a heart was birthed for the campus. All done in unity, as we prayed Acts 2 and begin to see we are a body, community with diffrent gifts denomnations, but ONE GOD. As prayed God is a consuming fire and we prayed down the fire of God. Dancing was much and prayer/praise errupted all night!

For me personally still in awe, realizing I am nothing God is everything! We prayed for this and God answered! Through the boldness of a brother in Christ I received prayer along with my other dear chaplin John to see myself the way God does and have full confidence in my gifting and see the authority I have in Christ. That was a blessing and in that moment of love God restored my unbeliving, hardened heart and gave me joy forever. HE is on the move at TFC, like a pent up flood HE is coming! Breakthrough is here! Thank you Jesus all the praise is defeered up to you! I love you! Also I love all of you, who read this if you do. God is so good and Jesus loves me!
