Since enrolling in the School of Urban Missions I have had the privileged to attend Chapels. Well the other day we were blessed to have one of our fellow students pray over us, Pastor Hector. We have not known Pastor Hector that well just mostly a friendly hello here and there not really ever delving into personal things. Well as Pastor Hector was praying for me he spoke to me about ministering to Children. He said he saw me with lots of children gathering around me. He also told me that I need to not be so harsh on myself and that if God did not think I was adequate He would not have chosen me. As most know I have felt and still feel like I am not a great teacher and am lacking in boldness. I wish I was able to remember everything Pastor Hector said but I just can't but I know God spoke.
We also had the privilege of hearing Becky Correa speak during one of our Chapels just recently. The day before I had just taught my first Friends Club girls for our Wednesday service. As I was driving home that Wednesday night I was praying to God telling Him that why did he choose me? I felt as if it was a mistake or something because I didn't feel like I did well teaching. I also asked God to use me to speak His words and to not let me think it is about me. I wanted God to give me boldness to proclaim His truth. Well when Becky prayed for each of us she prayed over me and told me that God was giving me boldness and confidence. She said He is going to give me His words to speak and I won't be able to stop myself and I will not know where it is coming from. She also said my Rod of Faith is tall. Which went along with what she preached. She spoke about Moses' rod of faith God gave him.
God is amazing he can speak to everyone and anyone. If you want Him to speak to you in a real supernatural way pray! Prayer works. I know from experience.

God is that you speaking?
So lately I have been asking God "Why" a lot. Why is it such a struggle to get through school? Why are we not in India yet? Why are we not Pregnant? Why am I chosen to work with children? I am not a good teacher. Why Lord? It is funny to me that even though God has spoken to me before, each new time He speaks to me I am still like, "Wow God." Well as you all may know every once in a while God will speak to me through dreams. Now I don't dream a lot it is very rare but when I do dream I know if it is from God or not. This was from God.
Like I said I had been asking why a lot lately and Friday, September 20, 2012 He spoke to me. In my dream Brad and I were sitting in our car when a young girl came up and folded a piece of paper and placed it on our car. As I rolled down the window and grabbed the folded paper she looked back at me and. I opened the paper and it had something scribbled on it, Proverbs 3:1,5,6,7,8. There was something else that was written on it but I could not put it into focus. The girl then turned to me and said, "You have a little girl right?" I said, "No, but my husband and I have been praying for a child." Before she could say anything else my alarm woke me up. I pray God lets me finish the dream but I believe what he really wanted to tell me was to read Proverbs.
Proverbs 3: 1 My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart.
Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
I feel like God was saying do not try and comprehend why things are the way they are with my own fleshly understanding but to trust in him with all my heart and he will direct my steps. God is so great and it is such a blessing that he chooses to speak to His children through dreams. If you want more from God you need to seek Him. Ask Him to give you dreams, visions and gifts.
