1. I buy a loaf of bread just to feed the ducks.

2. I love to learn. I'm like a sponge!

3. My love language is Quality Time (so invite me to hang out!!! but don't call often, I'm not a phone person... but am certainly trying to be).

4. I got kicked out of high school band and was abhorred by the entire band my junior year of high school because I made a website that publically exposed the bus sin of my band members (I didn't like hearing/seeing them making babies a seat behind me) and made fun of them (I was a bully when I wasn't being bullied)

5. I drink my coffee 1/2 caf, 1/2 decaf.

6. Backpacking Europe is something I hope to do within the next 5 years.

7. I was fired from my first job as a shoe salesman at JCPenney because I marked down a pair of shoes I planned to buy (my co-worker told me it was okay!!! .....I might add that I was 15)

8. Call me and invite me for a crazy adventure, and I'll likely drop everything to join you.

9. People are my passion; particularly children. My heart melts at the sight of a child.

10. I've had every haircut and haircolor imaginable, from a bull cut/short, spiky punk cut to long hair, to going red/black/brown and I was completely blonde for a few years.

11. I once repented to God of my sin for flushing my hermit crab down the toilet. He was already dead but I thought I was sending him "into the depths of hell". We had a burial service in my back yard for the next little guy.

12. I'm not passionate about cooking or baking, in fact I dread it.

13. I pierced my own nose when I was in 8th grade. It hurt.

14. My ideal bed time is 9-10pm and wake up time 5am... I've ALWAYS been that way.

15. Laughter is my release from frustration, and I often end up laughing at myself DURING my frustration.

16. My only fear is swimming too far in the ocean (had a bad experience and only go in to my waist)... but I'm willing to get past it if someone would stand with me!

17. My natural temperature is 95 degrees, I swear. (translation: I am always hot and rarely wear sweaters)

18. The only problem I have with bugs is that I stare at them with a papertowel in my hand and can't smoosh them for like 15 minutes. Stomp on them, NO PROBLEM, but feel their texture, BIG PROBLEM.

19. I honestly don't remember the last time I was mad--irritable and frustrated are more the words that describe my "other" half.

20. The first and last time I ate shrimp was when I was 8 and threw up... the thought of eating seafood still makes me sick to my stomach (other than a few types of fish), but I am always open to trying it again. ....possibly.

21. I am an intercessor and find myself becoming more passionate for God and people every day.

22. I see things in pictures and am very much a visual learner.

23. I'm not yet a football fan because I didn't grow up in a "football family" and have never fully understood the game because every time I watch it with people they're too "in it" to explain it to me... yet I've always wanted to date a football player because I think they're sexy haha. Help me understand that one?

24. Anything relating to the country brings me fulfillment (I grew up in the country) and so much joy.

25. I discern a lot more than I share, but have a terrible time reading certain people. And that bothers me.

26. I give 110% in everything I do and am known to be a "go-getter, nothing will stop her, determined" woman.

27. I've always been a saver and for three years have had a special fund building for my big day.

28. I have a REALLY bad memory. As much as I want to remember certain things sometimes I can't, and if I meet you for the first time, unfortunately I will probably ask you your name five times before remembering it.

And 29. I like confrontation.. PLEASE don't beat around the bush with me, I want the truth straight up and right away.

Must say 30. Bring blankets when you come to my house--it always stays at 63 degrees and under.

Can't forget 31. I'm a multiplier!!! If you ask for 25 I'll give you 30. If you ask for 30 I'll give you 40. Not always a good thing, though!

Last one, I promise: 32. I am very descriptive, love to share stories, and have a hard time limiting my words =)

I'm not sure if this one is directed towards any specific person, but I know it's relevant for the church!

I had a vision in prayer this morning of a hallway... I saw blobs of darkness (people) slowly walking towards glass doors where sunlight was beaming through. I couldn’t see their faces or their body shape and they were weakly holding onto the rails in the hallway as they walked forward into the light.

The Lord says He is drawing those to His light who are living in complete darkness. Those who’ve been living in the darkness, & become overwhelmed and emprisoned with darkness are being led into the light. Hallelujah! The process seems slow as the blobs were inching with small steps toward the light, and the process is surrounded by spiritual warfare, but they’re headed in the “right direction”. But God keeps saying that WE play a crucial role in their progress!

Those of you who are interceding for lost family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors to receive salvation: Don’t give up!!! Don’t loose hope!!! Keep praying!!! Your loved ones need prayer to resist the devil so he will flee from them! When the blobs of darkness were moving into the light they were holding on to the rails with everything they had, but they were so weak because the powers and principalities of this world were pulling them back into the darkness--back into their sin. You have to keep praying!!!

We are in a pivotal moment in time where God is calling us to go deeper in our relationship with Him for the purposes He plans to bring about in this year. Warfare is increasing, so remain alert and obey the Spirit of God, but know that the gates of Hades have already been shattered; they shall not prevail against the church! Stand strong, church! Keep praying! I even see demons shuttering and coming under God’s authority because of prayer!!!

God wants to give our family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors the breakthrough they need! But you have to keep praying, intercessors, keep praying!!!

Seeking and Finding

Seeking and Finding

Monday, January 5, 2009 at 10:19pm

After hearing some disappointing news tonight I decided to change my plans, fast and pray and go to a young adult prayer meeting… specifically for young adults and the deception the enemy is using to blind them and keep them in darkness.

I was crying out to God, calling forth the Kingdom of God in this generation, asking Him to bring breakthrough where there is warfare and an awakening to hearts. I asked Him to open the blind eyes; revive spirits again; bring revelation, and as I was asking Him to wake young adults from their slumber to His purposes and by His Spirit cause them to resist temptation, I saw a very clear image of Jesus raising a man from the dead. I heard God say, “Kellie, this is what is happening. I am bringing back to life those who have fallen asleep. I am recharging and reclaiming your generation in this time. And this will continue.”

Whew, what a scoop of hope! He's already doing it. And His power is the only way it will be done. My impatience so desperately wants people to “GET IT” and run with it (an intimate, dynamic relationship with God), and can’t understand how they can’t want to go deeper with God, or seek godly disciples to teach them how to go deeper, after hearing the Word. I am grieved by complacency. I understand relationships take time to establish and build trust, and God has His timing for everything, (I am living proof) but my prayer is for God to stir hearts so much that we can physically see young adults and every generation seeking God wholeheartedly and pursuing a radical relationship with Him. I want to see transformation and intercession. My heartcry is for people to experience deep intimacy with God—an undying hunger to know and encounter their tangible God. Everything else follows. I want to see ordinary people living extraordinary lives. God is a God who loves to woo, and I want people to know and experience Him in a foreign way.

Some say I’m a little too radical, others that I’m a little too intense, and some may think I may be a little too “expectant”. Or, maybe I am just that in love with my Savior that I can’t help but believe in the unseen and for the seemingly impossible, and risk it all for the cause of Heaven. The way I see it—I was created to worship God; I long to do everything I see my Creator do and be all that I see my Creator being. 20 years of my life were wasted away, then they were restored, by a loving God who pursued me and finally received an answer in response. I refuse to let another day be ordinary.
