I Stand in Awe

Wow. I'm just floored right now. I had the opportunity to speak at another church in my hometown today, and I was met with so much support. I couldn't believe the checks I saw coming in, so much more than I had anticipated. I almost cried, and for those of you who know me, you know it generally takes a lot to make me cry. These people were so loving and supportive and I was jut floored. It was the kind of support you really expect to get from your home church, from the people who really know you well, and maybe not so much from other churches who are just sorta like "Yeah, who's she?" You know what I mean?

I'm just feeling so blessed, and more than that so affirmed is really the only word I can think of. I've been really worried, honestly, about getting my funds raised, and this just kind of hit me between the eyes that God is so good, and more than that, that this really is where God wants me next summer. I've been pretty confident of that, that I was called to Australia, but this just made me even more confident. God wants me there, and God will get me there, and if I'm praying and working for it, God's gonna meet me and make it happen.

Thank you so much to the Calvary Temple Church, for giving me the opportunity to come worship and fellowship with you today, and for the love and support you have shown me. God bless you guys, fabulously and abundantly.

And P.S. check this awesome worship song that was the inspiration for this post. :)

Prayer Requests

Wow, so I can't believe that it's already here. Tomorrow is the 29th, which means that I'm speaking at the Assembly of God church tomorrow here in Wibaux. I also sent a letter to the ECNA (I think) Church in Beach, and if I can speak there in the next couple weeks, hopefully I'll be doing a concert here in Wibaux with my cousin Devin. So just pray really hard that I would have the words to speak at the Assembly church tomorrow and that they'd be really open and receptive to what I have to say and to my mission. Pray the slideshow works, because I think we all know how fickle technology is. (lol)

And beyond that, pray that the church in Beach would be willing to let me come and speak and sing a song and that things for the concert would come together, because it's going to be tricky trying to schedule so many different people. So yeah, that's kind of what's going on at the moment and those are the things it'd be really awesome if you'd be praying for.

Thanks guys, and God bless!

We in Business!

So it's official. I will be speaking at the Assembly of God Church here in Wibaux on the 29th. So that's definitely something you could be praying about. Pastor Lam was really gracious about letting me come and offering me use of the projector so I can do a slideshow presentation and what have you. So just be praying that God gives me wisdom and the words to speak and that HIS will might be done in the end.

The other thing is that I sent letters to those churches in Dickinson yesterday, so you could be praying about that--just pray that they receive them with open hearts and are willing to let me come and speak.

God bless you guys,
Erika Rose

WHOO!

Kay, so I just talked to the pastor of one of the churches here in Wibaux.He was super gracious and I didn't even have to ask if I could come talk, he was just like, "So you wanna come ask for support and stuff?" and I was like, "yeah, that would be awesome!!" So on the 29th, I will be speaking at the Assembly of God church. SO amazing. I was so nervous about it, and all for nothing. I'm still kinda shaking and coming down off this totally awesome high. Sooo, basically God is so good and now I'm off to work on my presentation.

And hopefully there will be good news from the Dickinson churches, as well!

Letters

Okay, my envelopes are addressed. I'm getting ready to proof read the letters one last time, and then print them out and fold them up so I can send them tomorrow on my way to school. Letters going to EBC and The Living Word Fellowship in Dickinson. So just be praying for me, please? Totally bathing these letters in prayer, because it would be a HUGE opportunity if I could speak at both of these churches to ask for support, because they're both pretty big congregations. So yeah, praying hard.

love you guys,
Erika

Sending Letters to Churches

So I just got done typing up letters to ask a couple of churches in Dickinson, namely EBC and my sister's church, if I can speak during the service to ask for support through prayer and donations. (Hate asking for money so much.) I'm really hoping that they'll grant me the opportunity--it would be amazing, because between the two churches...that's a LOT of people. So yeah, just be praying, please? That they would receive it well and allow me to speak, and that if I do go, God gives me the words to speak and that He touches people's hearts with the desire to support me.

Love you guys so much!
God bless,
