Weekend Awakening

So I went to Valley City this past weekend because some things were going down with the house that we were leasing. The house was on the riverbank, and the river is pretty high again. The City of Valley City is actually purchasing the entire street that I was living on, and the plan is to tear down all the houses on that side of the street to make room for a permanent Dike (It's about time). The river shows no signs of going down anytime soon, so they probably just want to add on to all the riverbanks. I don't really know. I'm just praying that the whole city doesn't go under because the Lord's work is NOT done.

Anyway... the landlord purchased a newly renovated house for us (pictures to come); it's WAY nicer than the other one, smaller, but nicer. It was really awesome that he snatched up that house for us as soon as he knew. I knwo he paid a lot of money for it too, and he's charging us the same rent for it. I've got a fantastic landlord. But I will say, I was freaking out more than a little bit when I first found out, especially because the picture on googlemaps showed a significantly smaller house, it basically looked like a little box. It is a box, but it's a very LOOONG box. Which actually makes it a quite a bit larger. There are two full bathrooms (last one had 1.5 bathrooms) and it comes with a washer/dryer. Overall, I'm very pleased with where I'm going to be living for the next 3 years. It's going to be wonderful to have my own space.

Being back in Valley really stirred my heart again; it reminded me of the Lord's purpose for me in this season. It even made me a lot more confident about the season that is just around the corner. I had a lot of doubts about what I was getting into; when I say doubts, I mean a lot of fears. I'm not saying that those fears are gone, but they are definitely trusted in the Lord way more than they were a week ago. The Lord even gave me some revelation and advice as to where to step first. I'm going to be talking with a good friend of mine almost immediately upon my arrival in Valley next week (August 17th) and I'm hoping that he will jump on board... I let him know what I wanted to talk about, and he seems ecstatic. So PRAISE THE LORD, He is in full motion.

The Lord is pleased with the campus of Valley City State, please partner with Him in prayer for this campus, that it may be in unity with the Holy Spirit. Something is stirring, the wind is upon us!

This is the song He sings over us in this season. Awake, awake oh valley. Take the slumber from your eyes, it's time to arise and have the Lord as yours.
