I can respect why IHOP encourages us to raise support. After meeting with many people from my home church, CASC, it's really helped me reconnect to my "family members." So many of them encouraged me to pursue God's will and are willing to support me through prayer and finances despite their own financial struggles. When I was growing unsure about what I'm doing while raising support, so many of them prayed and prophesied over me. During those crucial moments where I was questioning whether I heard from God or not, God would always encourage me through them. AHHHH I love my CASC family so much!!!!! They are so in tune with God's heart and willing to submit to God. It's so hard to find a community in the church nowadays and God has blessed me with not only a great biological family, but also such a genuinely loving spiritual family.

Spending countless hours with my awesome sister Grace at the One Thing conference and at home also is not making it easy for me to leave Naperville this time. I loved whispering things on our hearts to each other, trying to interpret our dreams on my bed each night we came back from the conference. I also enjoyed veging out in front of the TV with her in Naperville.....hahaha....Grace has truly become one of my best friends.

ah!!! this is all making it hard to leave Naperville. I bet I'm going to cry tomorrow. My spirit is longing to be back at IHOP though. I desperately need to straighten up and get back into my prayer room schedule and have some decent conversations with Jesus. I also need to get back into the Bible and feed my Spirit. So..... so long, farewell all my beautiful lovely Illinois friends and family. I will miss you all very much.
