Intimacy + Prayer = Big 'Ol Changes

Currently my 2 fav. things about our magnificent God?! That no matter how much time I spend @ His feet I've only just begun to barely even scratch the surface of getting to know Him and that no matter where in the world I am asked by Him to go, no matter what we do or who I am surrounded by- this identity grounded steadfastly in Him is unshakable if I'll only discipline my mind and heart to live according to Truth and Love and not feelings or emotions.

Spent about 2 weeks in Chicago doing prayer walks in some of the foreign neighborhoods asking God for His vision to reach the nations,' cause nothin less will be effective. We passed out food to some homeless people living underground...actually living right beneath the most fluent, ritzy street in Chicago- quite the oddity. We performed our drama/hip hop dance/sermons/worship time show several times in elementary, middle, and high schools all around the city, too. It was so enlightening. God truly is rasing up an army of young people searching for truth, looking for a life that rises above the status-quo current sweeping away this country's youth in drug abuse, suicide, apathy, and aimlessness. Getting to preach a short sermon, praying over them, doing the hip hop dance, clowning for the younger guys and leading worship for my teammates as well as some of the youth services were my primary responsibilities and I loved it all so much.
Wednesday, 3 of us took an Amtrak train from Chicago to Washington, D.C. and arrived about 20 hours later here in D.C. We are doing 24/7 around the clock non-stop prayer and Daniel fasting (fruits, veggies and sometime rice or oats) to stand in the gap between this nation and God. We are begging with all our hearts and souls that God have mercy on the life-killing, apathy, devauling of human life, and family-demolishing our country has, whether willingly or passively, participated in the last couple decades especially. The upcoming Senate elections are a major prayer points as well. We are split into 2 teams and I am on the rockin 4am-10am shift. We also pray as an entire team from 7-10pm every night as well. So, needless to say, being called to a full-time job of praying 9 hours every day is pretty sweetness. We walk all around the Mall-praying over the Senate, Capital, White House, etc. and also spend time @ the prayer house here, too.

Anyhoozie- things be amazing. real fun, real stretching, real forcibly removing any insecurity, passivity, self-doubt of hearing God's voice, aimless/worthless thoughts, etc. I'll be here until Nov. 4 and then back to Texas for about 10 days. Beyond that it's unknown to me currently but totally known by my Priest, Provider, Good Gift-Giving, Vulnerable, Always-Present Almighty, Brave King and so it's all gravy.

I am so nuts about you all. My fam and friends are the greatest treasure in my life here on this earth. Crazy about each of you.
