Victory in the Wilderness

2011 ended in a BANG. As you guys know I last went to North Dakota, Ohio and Scotland. In North Dakota and Scotland we were hit with some battles that to God we knew weren't impossible to conquer. Like always God comes at just the right time for us to see how magnificent He truly is. In North Dakota the ending of the tour we weren't able to share about our shows, but still thousands came hungry to know who Jesus is. And Like always Jesus showed up in such a great way that hundreds of people came surrendering their lives comletely to Him. Praise God for all His blessing.



Scotland we were hit with a huge bump from the media. I guess this is what celebrates go through... Things were spoken wrongly about us and so all our school assemblies and the place where we were suppose to have our big show said we couldn't. You know the funny thing is I was at peace about everything. When God calls us to some places He will ALWAYS provides everything in His timing. So at the last week Island Breeze was still able to minister at Nursing homes, two school assemblies and we had an even bigger venue to perform our big show. God is so amazing.


But that wasn't all God did for me in 2011. Amazingly I was able to go home and surprise my whole family. Ivan my boyfriend at the time came with an expectancy to ask my mom for my hand in marriage. Like some of you know my mom is not an easy person to go through and especially because I am her baby. Well, I knew that my mom was going to move in the timing of the Lord to say yes to Ivan and the timing was perfect. My mom announced on Christmas Eve her blessings to Ivan to have my hand in marriage. Not expecting anything else I turn to see Ivan come to his knees ready to ask my hand in marriage. Of course my family got up excited and all video taped the proposal. To me, it was honestly the best way to ask me... Being able to share the special day with all those who have been there for me was the best gift ever.

So as you can tell I AM ENGAGED and is preparing for my wedding in September of this year. I am excited to see how God will prepare us individually and together for this new season we are about to embark in. God knew at just the right time when it will be a perfect time for me to receive the Prince Charming He always had for me. I can not say it's all been joy, laughter and love in the air, but I can say that through each rough time God has always showed how He is in control of it all. God has proven in my relationship, minister, and family that He is more than able to shape and mold us to become the man/woman after His Heart.

I know some times we go through things that seems too hazy to see, but I can tell you from experience....just call on Jesus. Jesus will walk with you and be there right beside you when you can't seem to bare it. He will catch you when you fall, and if your not ready to get picked up He's waiting for the time your finally willing to tell Him, "I need Help".

Thank you again for all your prayers and support. You all have been a blessing. If there's a verse I could give you for when your in the wilderness it would be, "Jeremiah 29:11-13; "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans that will prosper you and not harm you, plans that will give you hope and a future. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me." The Israelites were in the wilderness when God spoke these words. They knew God had a promise land for them to enter but couldn't enter because they weren't ready to receive the full blessing He had for them. Know that there is a reward for you at the end of the road. Trust and obey and know that He is God.
Love you all and bless you as you experience the beauty of Jesus Christ.
