i'm heading to ft lauderdale in a few hours.

i'm excited for my time there. and kinda nervous feeling at the same time. not really sure why.. although i believe He has a lot in store for this trip. 

i wish i was better at blogging because lots of interesting things have been going on the past couple weeks in my heart. He is bringing forth desires i have never had the ability to put words to and then letting me trust Him that they are from Him and His desire is for them to come in fullness at the perfect time. 

i celebrated a traditional passover on wednesday. well, semi-traditional. a "real" one takes 6 hours! ours was probably 3 or so.. it was really amazing though. i love all of the jewish traditions and God's ways that He put in the Torah...they all point to Yeshua. and the feasts are amazing! God loves for us to be filled with joy and love and i think thats one of the reasons He put them in there.. they are apart of His heart. 

over the past few weeks, i've developed more of a love and understanding of israel. it baffles me how far we have gotten from their traditions and what not. it is beautiful. and yes, we aren't under the law but grace for salvation, but i'm beginning to think that doesn't mean we completely abandon the law and customs of the old testament. it's God's word.. and His heart. 

i'm currently praying about spending a season over there. there is a house of prayer, Succat Hallel, that you can stay at for 3 months basically for free. i just feel a real desire to go there. kinda like when you go home with a good friend and see where they grew up and what their family is like... i want to know where jesus grew up.. see the streets he walked.. his people and culture.. ah! it fills my heart just talking about it. to really know the man, yeshua :)

the other night i was just hanging around ihop trying to figure out something to do for the night and i started talking to these two older ladies. well, actually my friend, kristen, had talked to one of them the day before and said that when she prayed for her that she felt like peace was imparted to her...so it went more like me sitting on the couch in the lobby, the lady walking out of the prayer room, and me just asking her to pray for me...

anyways, she did for a while and it was good.. very peaceful.. then her friend came up and started praying for me... she was very prophetic and said a handful of things that were just little "ok, sandra God knows you and is paying attention" phrases. she anointed me with oil that i actually watched pool up in her hand! not from a bottle... just from heaven ha! the weird thing is that i didn't even think about it while it was happening, it was completely normal and didn't even really catch my attention. then about 20 minutes later it hit me.. and i was like WHHAT.. ive only seen that on youtube, not real life! i couldnt believe how normal and nonchalant i was about a supernatural thing happening right before my eyes... it was the best smell ever. 

The Father is so kind and thoughtful. 

i want to be bold and unwavering yet extremely gentle, humble and kind. yeah.

her ways are ways of pleasantness and her paths are peace (prov3:17)
