God's Gifts To Me Today

1. I decided that I am going to be a prayer warrior, and I am going to start by storming Heaven on Europe's behalf. I started tonight before the SBC send-off devo. I used the Prayer for Nations booklet that I got from Greater Europe Missions. I started with the UK, and it felt SO good to pray for them. I followed the prayer requests listen on the UK page of the booklet but not word for word. I am going to pray and pray for Europe until they can pray for themselves, then they can start praying for others, and maybe, in the end, we'll all become part of God's family. I am begginign to realize that the followers in Europe are part of our family, and they need us,and non-believers need to be prayer for! I realized tonight that I may not be strong physically, or mentally, or maybe even emotionally(i cannot hide my emotions!), and I may not be the smartest, most social, prettiest, beautiful,outgoing,etc. but I can be a prayer warrior, and I may or I may not end up as a missionary in Europe(although that is one of my passions-I SO want to go to Europe and be a missionary), but I can still storm Heaven on their behalf, praying for each nation to become engulfed in fire for Jesus.
2. I found that studying in the library is actually really nice.
3. LOVED SBC send off devo! the talks, the songs,especially the prayer. for some reason, deciding to become a prayer warrior and to storm heaven on Europe's behalf made me even more....into praying. feel it more, if that makes any sense. it was like...I did my own praying, on my own time, and that helped me to be able to be more the community praying with others.
4. had a good 30 minute talk with Stacy about England and study abroad. it was like a sigh that I should go back this summer(and I AM going back-not going is not an option)and I ran into her in the campus center and she asked me if I missed oxford, and that is how it got started. I went to lunch at harvest moon with shannnon, and my fortune cookie had two fortunes inside. one said to stop talking about my plans because I will have more luck with them and the second one said that I will find my solution where I least expect it,and Stacy was like a sign of that, that my plans for this summer should be to work may and june and go back to Englannd in july-mid august you know? :)
5. had a really really good day :)
6. been thinking more about what God told me on Sunday(to not be afraid of a broken heart because He will heal it)and maybe He was telling me to not be scared to like you -you-know because I will get hurt;God will help with the broken heart that is sure to come my way eventually.
7. Tyler Allen tried to hug today after the Send off SBC devo as he was leaving, and I did say that I am not a hugging type person, but it is still cool that he tried to hug me because he's never tried to hug me before. lol
