Daughter of the King
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
It's been 2 months! I never know how to start these blog posts. :) Yesterday I got my first butt shot. I was kind of nervous but I was excited to say I've finally gotten a needle in the butt. We don't do that in Canada or the U.S. but it is very common in many many countries. I'm slowly turning more Mexican. Oh, and if you are wondering why. I woke up the other night in a lot of pain, and I could literally barely move. Nothing was comfortable so I couldn't sleep. I've had a lump in my neck for a while but was told it was just a swollen lymph node or something like. I had my blood tested and everything was good. But then here, the whole right side of my neck was super swollen and sore, and the pain moved into my right shoulder and back. So yesterday I went to the doctor, and she didn't say much about what it is. (But part of it could be I missed something cause my spanish isn't super high up there when it comes to medical stuff) And I just learned, that the shot I received, was to reduce inflammation and a vitamin booster. haha So if you want to pray for my health, that would be amazing. But above all pray for my relationship with God. I do believe that some of the health problems I have been having, have been an attack on my spirit. Cause Friday morning, not only was I in pain, I felt really low. I felt oppressed, sad, and was super discouraged. I went to the prayer room and just cried. One of the staff came in and prayed for me, and then later my amazing one on one came and talked with me and prayed for me. I also prayed to God, reminding myself of who he is and spoke out that these things aren't happening to me because he is making them happen. He is not upset with me. And actually when I feel like I am being attacked, that probably means that I am doing good things for God and the darkness is trying to bring me down. (I don't want to necessarily say the Devil because, he is not omnipresent (I think that's the word) so it may not actually be him, but he does have his followers)) I also have been learning a lot about daily dying to myself. I am a new creation!!!! Romans 6 has been my theme chapter these past two weeks. Please read it! haha I was united with Christ in his death, buried with him in his tomb, and I share in his resurrection. I am no longer a slave to sin. Christ didn't just die to forgive my sin, but he died to break the curse of sin off my life! And I love Colossians and Ephesians, so read those too. I have been reading scripture that I have read so many times, but I am just receiving so much revelation and seeing things I have never seen before. And I am just simply enjoying reading it. The gospel is so amazing. So yeah yesterday I woke up way way lighter than I felt on Friday. And I started laughing again haha. Picture below is of us waiting at the doctors. Mandi my one on one :) She is my favorite! And then my two lovely friends, Tim and Joshua accompanied us for emotional support. STORY:
I had been feeling like we just really need a time of prayer over our school and our outreaches. Many people have been feeling sick and attacked. And one of the leaders mentioned to me that a lot of people from my Mexico Outreach team have been feeling attacked. And in general pray is always needed. So I posted in our group face book page that I'd be in the prayer room at 6:30 to pray over outreach and if anyone wanted to join that would be awesome. So there ended up being 5 of us and oh my goodness!! haha. We started with the steps of intercession that we learned. Praise God, get our hearts ready before him, ask the Holy spirit to lead and that he'd remove all distractions and that any thoughts from the devil or our own thoughts would fade away. And stuff like that. Then we had a list of things we could pray for that my lovely friend Emma came up with. Things like Unity in the teams, Protection, Prepare our hearts, for those we will meet on outreach, I don't remember them all but there were 10 things. We then each chose two and prayed for them. Then Emma left, but then came back like 50 seconds later saying God told me to come back. We then had a time of worship, and sat in a circle resting in the presence of God. Then Mike said, "everybody ! Ask God what he is saying to Emma. Because if he brought her back, then he wants to tell her something" So we had a time of listening, and then we shared what we felt God was saying. And it was so cool. Then we prayed those things over her. We then ended up doing that exact thing for every single person. And we got words for each other and they actually made sense to the person we were talking to!! haha We didn't share anything beforehand what we wanted prayer for, but the Holy Spirit inside us knows! It was super cool for me, because I have felt like I had words for people before, but often I haven't been able to see that it actually connects with their life. But this evening I received some words and they were actually relevant and meant something, and it was so cool. All of a sudden we looked at our watch, and it was 11:00. We were praying for 4.5 hours. It did not feel like that at all. Today someone was like "I still don't believe that that was 4.5 hours". So yeah, cool things. I've also been learning to be obedience. Immediate Joyful obedience! Partial Disobedience is disobedience. That can be a challenging thing to hear. But I am learning! Last week there were I few times I felt God saying do this or that and I actually followed through and was able to bless people, and receive so much joy for obeying. So I need to continue in that, because often I dwell on the past and think, woah God that is so cool that that happened when I obeyed, but I forget to keep listening for more things to do and I get nervous again when he tells me to do something. Every day is a choice to follow him. And he is so faithful and loving and good. Thank you for reading!!! I hope some of the stuff I said made sense. haha Love you all. And know that God loves you and he never leaves you. He decided to place his very own spirit inside you, how far away could he be? haha!! wooohoo God is good. You are so loved.

Hi :) I believe it is time for another blog post.
It's already November. It's so crazy how time flies. 20 days until my birthday :) Ok, it just hit me how crazy it is that I am going to Hermosillo for my outreach. And possibly going to Ancla de Amor, my cousin's orphanage. What?! How is it out of all the places in the world God is sending me back to where I love being. I imagined I'd be going to India or Columbia (Though one day I do still want to go there) but I am just so blown away that I am going to Hermosillo. I love Sonora!! haha Anyways! Life has been continuing here in beautiful San Antonio del Mar. Some days amazing! Others days average, other days not the best. But that is life! and I am learning to find Jesus in the midst of it all. I missed class today due to being sick. So I instead am here writing my blog. Since the last time I've written we've had a week on Destiny (The calling of God on our life) and Worship/Evangelism. Both weeks have been incredible. Oh my goodness!! The package my mom sent me arrived early and it made my day. Anyways :) On Wednesday for our class we went out to a place called Playas to pray and to evangelize. I had the most amazing time! I was the only translator in our group so I got to be part of everything. This was super beneficial for me because often when I have gone with other people to pray in the streets I usually let other people do the talking, but this time people were like Kendra I wanna talk to this person. So it made me start talking even though they weren't my words. And my spanish was just flowing that day. I even got to pray for a man in Spanish and the words just came. It was such a blessing. It was actually so cool because me and Tim just saw this man sitting on a street corning wearing a blue shirt, with something wrong with his foot and we were like let's talk to him. So we got to talk to him and pray for healing for him and for his foot and Tim even blessed him by giving him his own shoes off of his feet. Others from our group ended up coming and praying as well and it was beautiful. And then later during class while we were talking about what had happened, Mily said how she had received a picture of a man in a blue shirt sitting by a street corner who needed healing. And I believe someone else in our group also received that picture! And that just blew my mind cause I was already so blessed by the whole thing and meeting him, and then to hear that they had shown them an image of that before hand! So goood!! That was such a beautiful time for me. God has also be teaching me the importance of prayer. I hit a point where I was like, what is the point? Do my prayers really make a difference? But then God was like yes they dooooo!! We also received a teaching on evangelism and talked a little bit about spiritual warfare and it was seriously so interesting. The teaching came from Luke 10. Man I wish I could just say everything I learned but it was so much and I am still processing everything. But it was super cool, we had an evening class, and after that class I just had tantas ganas to go and be with Jesus!! I don't know how to say that in english. I just really wanted to go and pray and be in the presence of God. And I was with a few friends and I was like, I really think I want to go to the prayer room, and then someone was like, yes let's go, and then we headed to the prayer room, and put some music on by elevation worship. "Come to the Alter!" and just spent an amazing time with God. We laid in his presence, read his word, spent time praying. Me and two other guys from my Mexico Team prayed for our team, our trip, and each other. It was also another beautiful Spirit-Lead moment. So yeah, those are two little stories from this week. :) I hope you are blessed! God loves you so much. If you want to pray for me, please do! One, that I wouldn't get discouraged or discourage myself, cause I have found that often after I feel super close with God immediately after I get discouraged. So pray that I would have the wisdom to fight off the devils lies and take hold of the life God has freely given me! And for my spanish, that it would continue to improve! And for boldness and confidence in who God created me to be! Love you all!! Kendra Here are some pictures! Photo Credit to Jeff and Bengi and selfies. :) |
