I am sitting here at IKE as i would normally do...just wanting to be filled. full. I am so hungry...physically and spiritually. Its crazy how two days without food will do that to you. I long for nothing more than to see His face.
Two days ago, I was sitting in the same place I am sitting now, I was getting stressed out about the fact that I have to figure out how to get my loans deferred, how I have so much money to raise in support and I have yet to see God work in those areas. I felt like I was being told to fast...with no given time period. Just until God tells me to stop. Its been a rough two days. But Last night when i was praying and reading...I begin to ask My Father to lead me in his word...And all i could think about was Joshua...
So i turned to my bible in Joshua...
"Be strong and couragous"
"do not be terrifed."
"Do not be discouraged."
"The Lord may give you rest."
"Be strong and courageous."
This is what I feel the Lord wanted me to hear...As i have been praying for the Lord to work in me...to cleanse me...to surround me.. He is doing just that. He is in process of refining me...making me pure. I desire more of Him. I really had to check into why I was doing the things that I was doing, why was praying the things i was praying...With a clean heart, I do nothing more but seek first His kindom. all for HIS GLORY..
God is amazing. let it be known.

Dear Miss Noel,
I am so glad to hear that you are hungry!!
Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people need more than bread for their life; real life comes by feeding on every word of the LORD.
Duet 8:3 NLT
Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread! Prov 30:8 NIV
Jesus answered, "It is written, 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Matt 4:4 NIV
Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry again. Those who believe in me will never thirst." John 6:35 NLT
Kelsey shared your letter with me today. I hope you don't mind. It gave me joy to know where your heart is. It fits right in with our Thursday night Bible Study, "I Really want to Change, So Help me God!" James MacDonald. Check out his teaching on walkintheword.org He's a great teacher that goes straight to the heart. Let me know what you think.
Please email me at 5_newmen@sbcglobal.net I'd love to hear from you. I'd also like to chat about camera's.
May God Richly Bless you Noel
In His Love,
Kelsey's Mom, Michelle
