LJ in BELIZE!: 3/18/12

This is a quick mini update. I have not had internet for the past two weeks, but wanted to say that the conference was SOO amazing. So many pastors got blessed to the Nth degree. Now that the team is gone and it is just me, Tati and Shelbye, we are learning how to be big, middle and baby sisters. The Lord is making it clear that He wants to redeem some of our family roles and has already started to bring up some ways for us to minister to each other in inner healing / prayer ministry / healing memory / elijah house / etc ways. I am loving having Shelbye here, and having a new little sister to do crazy things with me that Tati would never do ;) . A friend to jump and dance on the trampoline and go jogging and exploring with :)

I will be posting soon with pictures updates and realer details, but first I need to share the fact that

I am trying to get home to the states and am almost out of money. I have about $200 and for a one way ticket it will cost $499 before tax and without my bags cost, so I am needing around $600 total (altogether).

If you feel like the Lord is placing this burden on your heart, you can donate and help me at this link:

The Lord is totally making it personal now with learning to be present, not worry or stress about the future or about money, but truly trusting Him to totally provide in EVERY way. It is hard to be vulnerable, especially when the whole world struggles with placing self worth on $dollar$ $signs$ . It is a new thing for me. I will be honest to admit that I don't know how to (but am desperate to learn how to) be content and unaffected by how much or little money I have access to. So, now I get to practice what Tati and I did together, and practice what I preach :) It's gonna be good. Fernando hit it home when he said, "If you know what you are doing, the holy spirit is probably not involved".

Anyway, I found the link that goes to the national morning show we were on, on PlusTV :
