Welcome to the New Year. New Dreams, New Vision, New Seasons, New Goals, New Trials and New Journeys. Thank you all for supporting and praying with me through our journeys of 2010. I pray that you all will continue to support and pray for me as my team and I enter into 2011.
Last year I ended with a season of patience. The Lord had blessed me with a friend who later through many prayers, fasting and awaiting the Lord's timing have now become my official boyfriend. I know this might be a shocker for I have not spoken anything of this till now. I met Ivan during our Philippines tour as he led the GX (hip hop dance) team. We were only friends and actually had no interest in each other till three months after; during Kentucky and Ohio tour. We were really close friends and started getting feeling but had no peace about starting the relationship. After talking with our leaders, family and seeking the Lord's guidance we both felt to wait till this year 2011.
As I entered into this relationship I began to grow fear of past hurts and break-ups that I thought I was healed of. Praise God for revealing things I needed to work on before and even during this relationship. As I entered into this relationship with caution the Lord kept showing me so much ugliness in me that I need to take care of such as; pride, impatient, moodiness and other imperfection. Praise God that God blessed me with a Man after His heart and not mines. Ivan continue to encourage me, uplift me with Truth... God's Word, as well as encouraging me by his actions. God loved me so much that He knew I needed a patient man that won't run when times got hard but fought only harder. As I began to notice my pride I began breaking it off with apology.... it was hard but it broke a lot when I stepped up and claimed my wrong. Then I began breaking my moodiness and impatient with the opposite... taking time to make food for him instead, encouraging him with words of affirmation. In this two week (lol yes only two weeks) we both were able to see the needs of each other and able to understand what we would be fighting as we continue to fight for this relationship. I thank God for Ivan for he is Exactly what I asked God for... A man who was so deeply into Him that he found me through Him and a man who is the human form of Jesus to me. (Maybe not totally perfect but really close)As we continue our commitment to our team we trust that this year we will continue to learn how to love one another the way God loved us first. This year he came to do a outreach with Island Breeze in Hartville, Ohio. It was amazing getting to see our friends from last year as well as meet new ones who I pray we will be able to get to know each other even more. Praise God he came because we had a small team. He was able to drum, cook, dance and just help and serve as we practiced for our luau. A little less than two hundred- fifty people attended our fundraiser luau which will help for our tours to come. All Glory and Praise to God for what has happen in Hartville, Ohio and thank you to all how help make it possible.
As we continue to fight for the Victory of thousands and millions of people surrendering their lives completely to Jesus Christ; whether with each other or with our teams we will fight. He will be with his ministry in Kansas City, Missouri as I will continue to serve in Kona, Hawaii.
I pray that you all will stand with me as I enter this new journey with God, Island Breeze and Ivan. This year will be another booked year. We will be going to Korea, China, Japan, Israel, Scotland, Minnesota, Ohio, and possibly Philippines and Brazil. Please pray for provision, finances, health and peace in every thing we walk into... whether hard or fruitful. Thank you again for all your prayers. Love you and please let me know how I can pray for you guys too. Thank you and God bless you all.
