Getting stoked!!!!!!

God is knocking, I am answering! Will you support me?

Nine years ago, I was called into the missions field and I’ve been running from my calling ever since. I have come to the realization that the plans I have made for myself have always ended up with me making bad decisions that only led me further away from my true calling. I now know that God's plans are what I need to follow in order to be in His will, which is to fulfill the calling that He has placed upon my life. I know that God has huge plans for me and my future if I just continue to listen to his voice. I find myself once again surrendered, and at his feet and I will no longer run. I know that this is what I must do and I will not waver no matter what! I choose to surrender my plans at the cross and step toward a future that is led by my King. Kingdom work is the most important work that we could invest our time in, so that is why I am asking for your support both prayerfully and financially. By allowing God to use you, you are not only investing in God's family, but you are changing the world.
I am embarking on The World Race Tour in July 2010. The World Race is an 11 month journey through 11 different countries in which participant’s minister to a lost and dying world while experiencing a real and living God. I will be traveling to different nations and meeting people from many cultures. I will also be going to orphanages with the opportunity to have a love encounter with many broken orphans. Part of my duties will be planning church services, preaching, working in construction, evangelizing, praying and whatever opportunities arise to minister. It is at this time I am asking for your support. In order to accomplish my goal in raising $15,000 which will go towards travel costs, living expenses, food and ministry, I need your support. If you feel called to support me you can do so by contacting me through email and I will give you the PO Box to send it to. It is important to remember that in order to be successful in reaching my goal in a timely manner, I am asking that all donations be turned in no later than February 15, 2010. All gifts are considered as tax-deductible. If you are also interested in partnering with me through your prayers as I travel, please e-mail me at: Krystel415@yahoo.com. I will put you on my e-mail list and I will send you updates and pictures on how I am doing and sharing the good news of the great and wonderful things that the Lord has done throughout my journey. Your involvement will be greatly appreciated! I am truly excited for what God has in store for all of us who choose to be the change that we wish to see in this world.

May God truly bless you,


Krystel

LIFE

I have soo been neglecting my blog spot! Ughh MY bad!

So what's been going on in the life of ME!

Right now I’m at the point in my life where it should be the best!..BUT it’s not; I walk around smiling like nothing is wrong when inside of me I’m just screaming out WHY? I’m 27 years old and I have no for real career, no husband, and no children. I just feel so helpless and feel like I’m going to have to just settle for the next thing that comes along!

I don’t understand why things keep going wrong in my life! I decided to give 2009 to God and totally trust in him to do all things for me. I gave up relationships with some friends, sex, and I gave up social drinking and as well as partying! I’m not going to say I don’t miss is b/c that would be a lie! I just miss the fact that I could go out and have a good time every now and then. But I told God I would totally be committed to him this year. And in return I figured he would bless me and send me a husband! Here it is May and I have had the worst year ever so far! I don’t understand it! I met a guy in Jan, and we truly felt like it was a God thing…Well that ended in a train wreck! He used me emotionally from Jan-till the end of April! I don’t understand!!! That’s all I can say, how he said he loved me and wanted to be with me forever and now he’s saying I’m just too good for him and has moved on to another girl….total shock! Then in Feb was my car wreck that set me majorly back finicaly, emotionally, and physically! ..why …why did that wreck have to happen to me? I don’t understand!

I go to church and hear the word and usually I can relate to a lot of the message………..but I’m still empty inside! I read my bible almost every night and I’ve been really searching and looking into the word ……but it’s like God is silence in my life right now!

I try to keep myself busy so I won’t have to worry about the guy who ripped my heart out…I stay busy with Athletics, and now I’m a youth leader, and thinking about Mime! But when I go home at night it’s all still there. The same feelings and worry as if I’m ever going to have a family all comes back again!
I have great friends @church but.. I feel so out of place when I’m with the married couples, and when I’m with the youth I feel so old! I hate it! I don’t know what else to do! I don’t want to be alone forever! My life seriously SUCKS!


I just wish God would pour out on me like I want him to but…..it’s not happening! Why????????

Good Friday we had communion at our new location..when we first came in we were handed our communion cup/bread all wrapped up together....well Pastor Boggs told us all to sit down while wings of worship danced to their song.
As we were sitting down..Kegan looked at me and said "oh my I just sat on my blood" (he sat on his communion ha) it was sooo funny we couldn't even pay attention!

My first fish!

I caught my first fish at the age of 26!!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Seriously, i freaked out when i started to reel it in i didnt' know what to do so i gave my pole to becca b/c i didn't want my fish to flip n flop all over me. Had to have some guy unhook it b/c didn't know how to do it..lol

rollar coaster of love

my heart is racing my fingers are jumping..i really don't know how to explain it. so i won't, until i see him tomorrow night. everything can change once i see him...and all the emotions that I'm feeling could get better or worse! God only knows! I'm just trusting in God b/c he has brought him to me and he will finish just what he started! I am continually reminded, Psalm 46:10 ~Be still and know I am God~

Just gonna be real...

Friday night I went and saw Rick Pino....he rocked my socks off!!! That was the first time I have ever heard him...and I absolutely loved his style of music.. He shared a story about how God spanked him and really brought him to reality. It was awesome!
Twila was there and she prayed for me and the nightmares that I have been having. I haven't been able to go to sleep for more than 4 hours a night...it's been horrible..and that night God delivered me from that! I have been able to sleep at night now!

Sooo Saturday night I went and saw Rick Pino again...to be honest I wasn't feeling that great b/c I had been out all day and my leg was killing me and my hand was throbbing.
Anyways I was sitting in church and the host got up there and started meditating in the spirit..after about 20 minutes I started to get really aggravated..my leg was killing me...my ADD was kicking in... I was thinking...ok where's Rick? God spoke to me and said .."Krystel, if anyone was ever wanting to hear from me.. this would be the service"... We ended up going into really deep intercessory prayer....after about 45 minutes Rick started ministering .....it was totally awesome....he followed after God in deep worship! We sat in silence for about 2 hours and listened to the voice of God. It was the most intense thing I have ever felt!

I began to talk to God about my situation and the circumstances, storm, and trials that I have been going through. I know that I have read and posted blogs about how God is gonna take care of me..etc but I'm human I'm going through a lot right now..well that's when God spoke to me and said "You Doubt Me!" WOW I wasn't expecting that! I began to freak out! I do doubt the situations that I'm in! I began to ask for forgiveness and God began to restore me!!


Well I guess God isn't done spanking me either....my storm is still brewing! Tonight I had more thrown on me...I really don't understand it..but I know that God does!
I seriously had a break down for the first time tonight....I laid on my bed and asked God why didn't he just take me that day?...! I'm JUST GONNA BE REAL!!! I cried and cried...and cried! I don't know why I'm going through all this!!!! My mom came in during my break down....and acted like it was no big deal...kinda funny now that I think about it! She said, "umm what are u doing?".. Then my step dad came in and gave me a box of Kleenex's and said, "Krystel it's because your trying to live right"!

After I had my melt down God gave me this scripture;
Hosea 6:1-3
"Come let us return to the Lord! He has torn us in pieces, now he will heal us, He has injured us, now he will bandage our wounds. In just a short time, he will restore us so we can live in his presence. Oh that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him! Then he will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring."

Changes-
What do you hope to gain from your religion? Do you "repent" easily, without seriously considering what you need to change? Don't treat your relationship with God carelessly.


And then it hit me~!!! I told God that 2009 was gonna be his year! I gave up a lot of things as well as past relationships. I started my new year out right with some new positive friends.
I haven't gave into temptation when I was faced with it. I have tried soo hard to live for him and the devil is MAD. The enemy is soo used to me flirting with the things of this world and me treating my relationship with God so carelessly...but I have staid strong this year and now the enemy is attacking me. God is testing me to see if I will stand! To see how strong I am! And guess what it's Spring time baby!!! I'm ready for my blessing! I'm getting closer to God than ever before and it's real..for the first time ever I'm beginning to really Know God ..to trust him and to need him more than ever in my life! For once i'm not ashamed to say Living For God is Fun! I don't know where I would be if I didn't have him to call on every single day.

Holla back yo!

Is getting beatdown from this hurricance! Waiting for the storm to pass...and ready to receive my overflow~~~~
