I have been having some really cool dreams the last few months. Just every once in a while but in these dreams I am just going about my daily business and I will see someone and pray for them and see God totally heal them.
I just woke up from a nap about a half hour ago and while I was napping I had this dream and It's pretty cool so I'll share it with you.
In my dream I was in Brazil with my friend Alex who was on the team with me in Puerto Rico. Alex is actually Brazilian and speaks Portuguese which is Brazil's primary language. I'm not really sure what my original purpose was for being in Brazil but I got the sense that I was there to do missions work of some sort, which is totally believable. In the dream we were on our way to go to this big sort of mega church, and we weren't yet in the sanctuary of the church we were maybe in the hallways leading to it, or right outside of the church.(I can't remember) I saw this guy (not sure on age,over 8 and under 20) and he was sitting against a wall and he had some sort of defect. His legs were kind of twisted around in a weird way: his bones were turned almost sideways and it left him sitting on just one hip which his chest was completely upright. I saw him, and I just kept looking at him and got the feeling that God really wanted to minister to him. SO I pulled Alex over and told Alex that we need to pray for this person, and Alex totally agreed and so did one other guy in our group. So we went to the guy and Alex asks him if we can pray for him (remember Alex is the only one who speaks the language).
The guy gives us permission to pray for him but something distracts our group for a second and we all get tied up for a few minutes. I then go back to pray for the guy and I find the one other person on my team who wants to pray for this guy but we couldn't find Alex.
Then everyone starts telling us that church is starting so we have to go in to service. That made me so mad.
I got really assertive and was like "No! We are praying for this guy, we all felt lead to pray for him, God obviously wants to do something, and we have the permission from the guy! We are praying for him!"
So this person on my team and I kneel by the crippled man and ask to put our hands on his legs. (He didn't understand what we were asking, so I had to make alot of exaggerated hand motions, but he agreed! ha)
So we start praying for him and as we are praying and just asking for the Holy Spirit to come and heal his legs, his legs start to straighten and kind of stretch out and turn and just move in ways as if the guy were trying to stretch them after sitting for a long time. His facial expressions didn't really change much though. We just kept praying. After maybe 4 minutes, his legs were alot straighter, just a little bent by the hips still but not much, and randomly the once crippled guy gets up and just runs away from us. We had no idea what was going on, but then we realized that he just ran away and he couldn't walk just 5 minutes before. So we found Alex and asked him to talk to the man. Alex did and the man told him that he was healed. We then went to the church service.


In the past I have had dreams where I was at work and one of my gymnasts got hurt so I prayed for her on the spot and saw God show up. It was so cool. I don't know why I am having these dreams but I love that I am. These are the best dreams I have ever had!

Ok I know, I did promise that for those of you wiling to take the time to read my blog I would provide stalking worthy information to make up for the lack of it on my facebook.
So here is the latest. I have to be brief because not only is it getting late and I am so tired, but I also have a math quiz to study for.
Big news!! I talked to a Lady (Karen) from VCOM (Vineyard College of Missions) in Boise Idaho on Monday. In case yo are one of the few ppl who don't know, this is the school I have been wanting to go to for the last few years to study medical missions. So anyways, I talked to Karen last Monday and it looks like I am officially going to be moving to Idaho this fall. Classes start the first week of Sept. They are looking for housing for me now and possible job opportunities. She also said that I do not need to get a car there because a bike or scooter with suffice for the school year. It seldom snows and does not get below freezing. I am so excited. She also said that there are a bunch of coffee shops that may be possible employment options. I am so excited!!!
Well that is all for now. I have to go study. I spent all weekend celebrating birthdays, so I need to get back to reality now.

I hate when people justify inhumanity with "knowledge"

SO I just finished my human bio project. It is due on tues so I am now done worrying about it forever. I'm not going to lie , I am a little annoyed about it right now. The 10th article I had to find and review was supposed to be about scientific proof supporting human evolution. She made it very clear that she(my teacher) wanted nothing dis proving evolution or mentioning creationism but merely an article with scientific evidence supporting it. I emailed her asking for an alternative for this article but she told me it was required. By some miracle I found an article talking about how viruses have played a role in "evolution". I read it and it makes alot of sense. I totally believe in micro evolution just not macro evolution and this article i took to be about micro evolution. It was about how people getting viruses caused our genes to mutate because these viruses mix with our genes and over time cause changes. That make perfect sense, just like bacteria over time building resistance to antibiotics. The part that made me upset was that as part of the assignment we were supposed to tie every article to something discussed in class or in our book. Well thank God we didn't talk about evolution in the class yet(and hopefully we wont), but I still had to look for something in the book. So I went to the chapter and the whole thing is talking about macro evolution and how we all came from the same whatever..and then they explain how they justify the theory, but never once do they mention that it is just a theory. Man! So I couldn't find anyway to relate the book with the article. So I had to write about how I couldn't relate it.
I am just so mad about it because it goes against my rights to have to do something on evolution esp. since I asked my teacher for an alternate assignment. Then to read this sad excuse for the chapter on evolution. It is so sick. This book make me so mad sometimes. I can't even convey what I am thinking because of how annoyed I am. The most upsetting thing about this, is that those people who force this agenda on people are going to have to answer to God for the lies they are spreading. Evolution should be an optional field of study. Just like seminar and such requires going to a different school for.
Then to top it off I had an article about a home sperm count test for men, that I had to link to the book, and the entire chapter on reproduction barely mentioned anything on fertility or infertility at all, The only mention they made was like 2 sentences that stated if a man had a spinal cord injury it could result in infertility. Almost the entirety of the rest of the chapter was about birth control and prevention and such. Nothing about fertility and the problems there. Like having children is not even worth talking about anymore. I almost threw up when I read about how they described abortion and talked lightly about it. I think the wording is so ridiculous. They never mention baby, it is always a fetus. Even when they talked about partial birth abortion, they birth the fetus most of the way then crush the head of the fetus with surgical scissors to allow it to come the rest of the way out. How can anyone read that and not want to throw up the contents of their stomach. How selfish does a person have to be to justify something like that! GRRRRR!

life is truly ironic

Im easily stalling on doing my bio homework right now.
I'm just sitting here thinking...which I do too much of.
I'm just thinking back over how many ironic conversations and moments I have had with people.
I am going to be pretty honest about this, and alot of you will know what I am talking about right away and some of you may not. But I guess you may learn a bit more about me and how I can actually being very symbolic in alot of the things I do. I'm not really sure who all reads this blog, so it could be interesting. ;)

I was ust looking at some pics on my myspace, since I have had my myspace so long it is funny to see what sort of pics I took over the last few years and deemed importance to. I found this one:
Autumn leaves  (July) 2008


This photo had so many meanings linked to it. I titled the photo "autumn leaves"
This is actually a play on words, alot of my friends will get that one. This is also the same time that i started wearing the tribal beads. In honor of this person.
I actually sketched a photo like this that I took just moments later.I titled the sketch "Tall shoes? soon."
tall shoes? soon!
I entered it in the fair, and placed with it. The person behind the inspiration behind this photo has actually seen the sketch and remarked on it. It is ironic how this person saw the sketch and had no idea.
That is the funny thing about art, the person viewing it may get one impression from the piece but there may be much more behind it really.


Then there is this situation where I had a series of dreams about a person. (I still do dream about them actually, or they are in my dream for about a second or too)
I can't figure out for sure why I dream about them. I really don't know.
I am scared to tell them though because I don't know how that convo would go. The irony in that is that this person and I have had conversations about dreams, and prophetic dreams and gifts. I still didn't tell them though.



I just can't believe how much I talk in riddles.
I look back on facebook statuses and laugh.
Times that I felt like a third wheel and actually put down statuses like " you can call me the third wheel, because without me we wouldn't be a tricycle"

Sounds like a rap song if you ask me. haha


It's almost as ironic about talking with another person about how lonely you are. ha

Or my dream about having the weird parasite worm , then finding out that Ghana and Ethiopia have a health concern with Guinea Worn disease. The crazy thing is that in the dream I was babysitting while trying to get rid of this worm. And I want to medical missions work in Ethiopia, and maybe if I am done with school when I go to Ghana I will be doing that there too.
I still can't decide if there is a connection there or not.

Some ironic things I can't figure out if they were truly ironic or if they were a bit more planned out than I realized.

Maybe when I think of more of these things I will post them. It is just interesting to think about how ironic life truly is.



Next time you look at someones art work regardless of what media they use, think that there may be something ironic about the fact that you are looking at it. ;)


Haha this is truly ironic. haha

currently listening to :Josiah Lemming.

not sleeping is a good time. ha!
I dont want to go to sleep, even though I realize that I have a math quiz in 8 hours. I'm really not too worried about it. My math professor is really good so I am not struggling in the class. Just about finished two of the 10 article reviews that I have to do for my human bio class. They are all due the 13th.
I was reading this one article, that I am doing a review about and it is about a worm infection that is a really big problem in certain countries. I want to say it is called the Guinea worm or something. AS I was reading the article II found it interesting that it is most common in Ghana (a place I may have an opportunity to visit in the near future) and Ethiopia (Where I hope to do missions work). Just interesting. Then I just noticed that last night I had a dream where I had some sort of worm parasite living in my body. It was really a nasty dream and I will spare you the details. In fact Im not sure why I am typing this now. Kind of crazy stuff huh? Eww just thinking back on that dream is grossing me out.

well that is all I can think about right now. Night
