About a week from now i will be starting my journey across the United States putting on the Aquire the Fire youth events. We just got back from Houston about one week ago.
Houston was actually a true test run of what is going to happening while we are on the road. The Lord revealed so much in me and clarified so much also knowing that i am where i am supposed to be! God did so much and taught me so much also while i was in Houston.
How do i know that i am where i am supposed to be? God showed me why i am on the Ministry Team for this time of my life. My job is Head Usher and Security. Some of my tasks include doing a seat count, doing two head counts, making sure that there is not many distractions going on in the arena, helping with the security line for worship, concerts, and alter calls. The Lord showed me that as i am doing this i should be in prayer. We are all called to be in prayer day and night, but the Lord really stressed upon me to really pray for every person as i do a head count, pray over the arena as i do a seat count, pray for everyone as we are in worship, pray while the ater call is going on. Also another thing i get to do in interact with volunteers. I am supposed to be ministring each one that is under me. The Lord showed me this at Houston, and i finally found where i belong at this season in my life.

Birthday/ Beginning of the Road
So, in just a few hours from now, I will be leaving on a bus for Houston, TX for the ATF this weekends. I just wanted to recap some things that have been happening on my birthday and also during the week.
My Birthday, January 17th, a great day in the end. The beginning of my birthday was ok, I was a little disappointed and also homesick during my birthday. The main reason, my twin sister, we were turning 20 together, and this would be our second time not together for our birthday. I really miss her a lot. So as the day went on it got better. My friends did not plan anything that i knew of, or told me anything that was happening so i had basically the whole day free. One of my friends was going to this thing in Tyler, TX, about 45 mins away, called Burn 24. Burn 24 in 24 hours of non-stop intercessory prayer and worship. So i decided to go an attend it, since there was nothing happening. What better way to spend your birthday than with Jesus for about 5-6 hours. After Burn 24 i felt so great. It was so awesome to just spend time with him, and on the day i was born into this world. After we came back, my friends took me out to Dairy Queen to just hangout, it was a lot of fun and had soo many good laughs.
The Beginning of the Road.
So less than 12 hours away i will be on my way to Houston, TX. The feeling is so exciting! I can't wait until we are there. God has been laying on my heart to be praying for Houston, I know he is going to show up in a great way. So i found out that me and James, my partner, will be basically running the whole event. We are Head Ushers and Security, which is going to be really cool. I have been an Usher Captin before so its going to be so great to do it again. I just can't wait to see what God is going to be doing this weekend. Right now i believe that the total registered people is over 4,000. God is going to totally show up. Well i have to go pack now, so please be praying for my team and Houston, TX to see God move.

Ministry Team Pre-Production
So I have finished my first week of pre-production. Pre-production is the "training" of the Acquire the Fire Youth events. We have been working crazy hours and long days getting prepared to set up our stage and learn the ins and outs of it.
Yesterday as we were closing for the day, they told us our jobs that we would have for the Minsitry Team. I was given the job of Head Usher. I was so excited to hear what position I recieved. Head Usher is when you are responsible for all the people in the Arena and traffic flow of the concourse.
But for me personally I have been struggling. It has been real hard to just spend time with the Lord with all the things that are going on. Last night was the Committment Banquet. I committed to the Lord to stay here at the Honor Academy for the Acquire the Fire Ministry Team until August.
As we were at the Banquet the Lord opened up my eyes to something so amazing. I have thought about it before but it just seemed so great last night. I just pictured God, looking at me right now. He sees the past, present, and future all at the same time. So I am picturing God looking at the Present section, in a window type setting, then looking in on the Milky Way, then our solor system, and then Earth, and then the United States, and then Texas, and then the Honor Academy Campus at me. And he is caring what I am doing right then at that time! WOW! I think that is such an amazing thing.
So right now I am still doing pre-production and will be until we leave for the Houston Acquire the Fire which we will leave on January 20th.
