Prayer With Heife

This was the first time that I have used my anointing oil in a very long time, but I got to use it tonight. Jeff and I prayed, and we had a great time. It was the best prayer time that I had in a long time. I left energized. I anointed and prayed over him, and then commissioned him, and then prayed over him again. Then I gave the oil to him, telling him that he needed to put some on his hands before he goes to school, and remembering that it is a symbol of God's presence - that anything he touches, God is there. As I said, this is the first time in a long time that I have prayed like that, and I really believe that God is bringing me up from a deep, dark sleep. Peace out.

Fewer kids today

Hey, guess what? The kids weren't nearly as bad as they were the other day. Although there were only eight of them at most. It was fun because we had to stay inside at first (rain), but then we got to go out side after a few games and a lecture on respect and attitude. Anyways, I want to get a keyboard in there so the kids could mess around on it (I got a new one for home). One problem is that they would have to have headphones, so my supervisor is going to talk to the director about it bc there has been studies on how headphones make us deaf sooner (like it can really be proven). If nothing else I could learn a few kids songs and not let them play it. NEways I thought I would stop by.

So I'm exhausted as all getout. The kids at school are a pain in the "bottom". Disrespectful to the max. I think that if a couple decides to have a kid, they should automatically have another one. Besides me going insane, God has been drawing me closer to Himself inch-by-inch; back to where I was once before. In fact, yesterday I read from the bible for the first time in who knows how long (I think we know the answer to that), and God just jumped right out of the page and spoke to me.
Know what's funny? I've always had more charisma when I knew God better. Interesting concept huh? It all works out too, because it's not me that the charisma is coming from!!! It's God who then gets glorified.

Church Things

So what about the complications at my church? First of all I want to say that this is only a summary, without many details. If you are from our extended church fam and havn't heard this yet I apologize that you had to hear now, and I implore you to get the appropriate info from the church office.
SoI have to say something about this sooner or later. Pastor Scott resigned. I believe that the newest Naz Manual came out in 02, however not long after in 03' there was a letter published stating within it that tongues-speaking or prayer language is not acceptable in the church. So my beloved pastor, resigned because of his will to be real and stay true to the promises that he made at his ordination (To resigne if his life or believes became unalignable wi the naz church). He recieved his prayer languages five years ago, and some recent events had forced him to research the these things. After all was said and done, I would like to say that I am proud of Scott and what he has done, and also of our DS Dr. Fairbanks for hanling things in such a Goddly manner.
And what does this have to do with me? Well, if I would have read this letter three years ago, I may have been compelled to turn in my Local License. However, I don't have the problem anyways, b/c I never renewed. In fact, about a year ago, I was talking with Scott, and brought up the point that God would in the future have me leave the Naz (but I had no clue why). We decided that I shouldn't renew until I knew why. Well what a delivery...I can no longer be a part of the Naz, b/c I too speak in tounges. Of coures I do not feel released yet, I am proabably going to wait untill after we get our new pastor (which I think will come quickly). However, that is not final.

Churches I'm thinking about...
Four Square Gospel
Vinyard
Tyler's (coworker) nondenom
Cedar Creek
other nondenoms

I've wanted to brag on some people lately, but have scarcely found the time. Actually I should have been in bed by now but was watching “Drumline”. I couldn't hold back any longer.

Despite some complications at the church my parent's small group is quite the example of the early church, (especially in the way of having everything in common). My parents have decided to take one of my nieces under their wing (Summer), deciding to pay for her tuition to the Montessori school. They do this by way of collecting cans and getting money for them in MI (a truly illegal, but moral undertaking. Many of the people at the group collect their cans and give them to my parents. Further, there is also a girl (11), a granddaughter of one of the group members, who has ADHD. Paige has had lots of struggles with school in the past, and the group decided that she should be able to go to the Montessori school's new middle school. One of the families at the group is paying for her tuition (her disabled g-ma took her on b/c of irresponsible parents).

Wana know what else is cool? Tomorrow, I get to help Paige with her math homework (she fell behind in her class...ADD people just can't function while missing a day of important lessons). I may not be in their group, but I do know the people and love them dearly.
