Next!
I am seriously in awe at how fast this year has flown by...my nine months spent completing Second Year at BSSM appears to have disappeared like a vapor. The months that I have spent going to school at Bethel have been well spent and have abounded with numerous lessons and trials.
I look back and see nothing but the goodness and faithfulness of God throughout my journey. He has most certainly surprised me, strengthened me, challenged me, but most of all He has shown His love that always remains. Through every up and down, twist and turn, I am constantly reminded of God's promises to me and the future He declares that He has for me.
After returning from my incredible trip to Norway school went by in a flash. Since March I am being challenged to choose to listen to God's voice and His heart for my life and now I am being gently pushed into a deeper level of trust by returning to Canada for the summer. I trust God that He provides and that He is a God of His word! He also speaks to me about Him constantly being in my life. Over and over again, as many times as I listen, He tells me that where I go He also it going!
My plans for the summer is to spend the three months I have with family in Edmonton and work, hopefully two jobs like I did last year, and then return to Redding for my third year of BSSM which is an internship. This internship has my heart racing and I am so excited to move on from the "schooling phase" to the "hands on phase"! I will be working with an organization based out of Northern California called I.Dignify and will be writing and serving this newly established ministry that sets captives free from the sex trafficking industry. I am very ready to serve I.Dignify's heart and vision and make a difference!
Now...hopefully I'll have more opportunities to write in this blog and keep it up to date! This summer is completely unpredictable! :)

Norway...just the beginning!
It has been a few months since I had last written in this blog...lots has changed within 2012 so far! It has been the most amazing year and I anticipate many great things for the upcoming months!!
God has blessed me so much and He provided all of my funds to be able to go on my missions trip to Norway...which I am currently on!!! Norway is a beautiful country and so far the food, the people, the culture...has been an incredible experience! We have been in a city called Hamar and have been working with the youth here.
There is a Christian outreach to youth that involves a big dance party and it draws 300-400 non-Christian teenagers called "Viva La Vida". It's an awesome way to reach out to the kids and it was at this event that I got to share my testimony and I thoroughly enjoyed doing it! We have had a couple of services and have been given the opportunity to pray healing over people and prophecy! People are getting healed of pain and physical problems in their bodies, God heals!
I got a word of knowledge about a left shoulder and this guy eventually found me and told me it was him...this was very exciting because it had been a while since I had given it and I assumed that I might've gotten it wrong. I prayed for him and then he mentions that he has rib problems and asthma....I pray again and he feels a strange, but good pain move in his ribs! He was so happy and joyful after I finished praying for him! I also got to pray for a young girl who had headaches and problems with her nose...I prayed for her and her headache left!
There are many more healings that are happening here in Norway and I have a feeling that this is just the beginning!!!
Tomorrow we are taking a train from Hamar to Oslo, the capitol of Norway, and will once again be working with youth and the churches there. We will get to prophecy and minister with a couple of the local pastors as well!
Thank you to everyone who so generously supported me on this adventure and I hope to keep you all posted!!

A New Year!!!!
It seems like 2011 came and went far too fast! I spent the past three and a half months completing my first few months of second year at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry and was blessed to be able to come back to Medicine Hat to celebrate Christmas and the New Year with my family!
The lessons I have learnt over 2011 have been numerous and all that Bethel has taught me has impacted me in so many ways in the way I live, in my relationship with God, and in how I love. I am very thankful for where God has taken me, completing first year at Bethel, going to Ecuador on a missions trip with my school and getting the privilege to return for an additional year of schooling in Redding, California.
Last year my missions trip to Ecuador blessed me so much, it was unlike any ministry trip I had been on. My team and I saw so many people get healed physically and mentally inside of hospitals, churches, and parks. I was able to pray for multiple women who had problems and pain in their stomachs, and as I recall they were healed of all pain! Also while doing ministry at a hospital, with the help of a translator, was able to pray for and encourage a whole floor of a hospital while other members of my team were scattered all throughout the hospital. We had so much favour in revealing God's love and heart for the people of Ecuador!
I am still thankful to all of those that have poured into this trip with prayer and being so generous! But once again, this year, I have another opportunity to go on another missions trip with BSSM to Norway. My team and I will be able to minister at a Christian club that draws more than 400-600 non-Christian youth called Viva La Vida. I am very excited for what God is going to do in and through my team! Here is the description that BSSM gave about Norway's missions trip!!!!
"Norway is an epicenter of revival in Europe We will be traveling to a number of cities all over Norway, pouring into the family/relationships we have there. You will have opportunities to see His Kingdom established on this trip through conferences, youth camps, outreaches, as well as the Nordic School of Ministry. We will also be working with the founder and leader of Get Focused, a nationwide network that has birthed one of the largest youth movements in Norway. This is a trip in which you will get to partner with Jesus as He transforms a country. You will be empowered to preach the Word of God, release the Kingdom, and to invest into our Norwegian family. Our desire is for you to see the Father’s heart for Norway, just like we have. This trip is definitely going to be a fun filled adventure with Him!"
What this trip will be doing for ministry excites me so much and I am inviting you to partner with me, financially and in prayer! I am in need of finances to be able to go on this trip and the total cost of my missions trip to Norway is $2,450, but I have already been blessed with $250.00! God is good and He is faithful to provide for those He has called! Please consider donating to me and helping me get to Norway to bring the love of Christ there!
Here is the link to donate online if you would like to pour into my life! Thank you so much for your support, both in prayer and in finances! I am so blessed to have you all walk with me in this journey of my life!
