Sunset.

Today I got to see the beautiful sunset from my 9th floor apartment in Mexico City. The deep oranges juxtaposed on the cold blue and gray hues, it was just amazing!

I cried (not like a couple tears, I sobbed for a few minutes).

Yes, ok, call me a baby, or better yet a child. His child. I cried because it was so beautiful! At that moment, it wasn't just the beauty of the sunset, it was the beauty of dreams come true. I get to see the sunset in an apartment I rent in the city I was called to, where I lead a school about living life to the fullest.

That moment was it. Gratefulness just filled my heart so much that it came out in the shape of tears.

This may be a short entry, but I had to share. He is God, He is so good. He made sunsets for little girls with dreams fulfilled to look at and have the courage and desire to dream again and inspire others to do the same. For He is faithful.

No Filter.

More Than We Can Ask or Imagine

Four months ago, when the Spanish Curriculum for the First year of the School of Supernatural was released starting a School in Mexico was a mere dream, a set of ideas in my head. I had shared those ideas with a couple people, but didn't really know what it was all going to look like.

The plan was to move to Mexico City (one of the largest cities in the world), connect with people, start attending a church that would provide covering, and well, start a School of Supernatural. Easy, right?

It actually wasn't hard, it just required action, follow through, determination. It seemed so intangible when my small team and I would sit down and brainstorm on the how's, the when's, the where's. Yet little by little it started to become a reality. A website, a FB fan page, a classroom... and then students.

The pastor who was invited to our opening said that this first class, both students and facilitators, are pioneers. People love the term, but at times don't realize the implications. He said we'd be going against what is called "normal", against the status-quo. As Bill Johnson puts it: "We all want God to do a new thing, as long as He does it the way He's always done it."

Two weeks ago I got to stand in front of the 70 people who have believed in this project enough to submit themselves as guinea pigs. 70 students ranging from 17 to 62 years old, male and female, from about 10 different churches. Their faces so real, their lives so ready to embrace the transformation that has already begun to happen.

Now it's real. It is tangible. I stood on that platform on our opening day soaking it all in. Realizing that God does in deed give us more than we can ask for or imagine. I just didn't know He trusted us this much.

The first week of class we saw bodies healed and courage released as our students prayed for each other specifically in the subject of physical healing. It was all the more fun to see those who were skeptical see a miracle through their very own hands.

"His world is breaking into ours" said Bill J. in that first video; and I see it.

I'm just a broker for Heaven; He's decided to show up and we're just going to go with that. He is in deed good, and I look forward to everything He wants to continue to do in this season.

Mexico School of Supernatural Ministry

"Now is the time. If it's not you, then who?

 If it's not know, when?"

I heard that phrase a long time ago, but today is rings true just like the first time. In exactly two days, a team and I will be starting a School of Supernatural in Spanish, one of the firsts of its kind here in Mexico. It is a dream that was sparked in my heart a couple years ago, but beginning to see it become a reality is breath taking.

With 70 students from about 10 different churches, denominations, and ministries, what once felt like just a good idea has become the tangible reality of that whole "He does exceedingly, abundantly more...", and we're just getting started. My team and I believe that this is the time, NOW.
Now is the time for the body of Christ in Mexico to rise up and be who we are made to be, now is the time for miracles o be normal in Mexico; it is the time for all realms of society to be impacted; for families to be restored; for love to be spread, for businesses to prosper; for art, education, inventions, movies and scientific discoveries to happen just as His kingdom comes, as Heaven becomes a reality in this country.

I'm all in, no turning back, no plan B. He is good and He is worthy. May the Lamb of God finally receive the reward of His sufferings in Mexico, as we embrace the life of abundance that He won for us.

Unto Us a Child Is Born.

I know Christmas was a few weeks ago, but I hadn't had a chance to sit down and write and process what it means for us, for me, in this season. It is an everyday reality; Jesus was born, He walked this earth, He died and resurrected; and He did it all for us. "For God so LOVED the world...", He loves us. HE LOVES US, HE LOOOVEEES US!!! For us believers everyday it's Christmas, each day we get to celebrate that our Savior lives and how much He loves us.

His love is something I've felt so strongly as I transitioned from 2014 to 2015, partially because I had the privilege of traveling to a Caribbean island for a mission trip at the end of December and beginning of January. I love missions because going somewhere else always highlights the reality of a God that crosses cultures and languages to love on ALL His people.

The people there are so precious, and even though I always go with a heart to serve and bless them, their lives and hearts bless me more.

I had the privilege of sharing with a small group of leaders who are getting ready to start a School of Supernatural. They got the curriculum donated, but it was a gift to me to get to deliver it. In many ways I felt like a midwife; helping them focus on what they're giving birth to, and making sure they're prepared to raise this child. I asked them to think about the why, how, when; what is this school going to look like. What do we want to see happen there? And when they gave me the usual "Christian" response of "we want revival", I asked, What does that look like? What does it look like for the moms and dads, for the musician, the baker, the hairdresser, the school teacher? I wanted them to see in the eye of their redeemed mind what Heaven on Earth looks like culturally, what it would look like 50 years from now, a 100 years from now.

Every parent wants to be a good parent, but what does that look like on daily basis, while feeding them in the middle of the night, and attending to them when they get sick. I think of Mary as she carried "revival" in her womb, as she realized she was raising the Savior of humanity. In some ways and because of the sacrifice of Jesus, we too carry revival, and we're learning to "raise" it and see it happen in our lives and communities.

I don't have all the answers, but I'd like to think that I helped these leaders unlock the answers they carry for their community, and I cannot wait to see how it all turns out. I am also about to "give birth" to a school, and as a first-timer I'm excited, nervous and expectant of what is to come. In the midst of it all I'm just thankful, because I know that this is something that was first born in the heart of God, and I simply get to watch it unfold, co-laboring with Him in love.
