"One thing I have desired of the LORD that I will seek after: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple." Psalm 27:4

im starving!! :)

so, the Lord has greatly increased my desire for Him. like the term hungry cant even describe how strong this feeling is. Im pretty sure that when i do feel the Lords presence and love like the way im desiring it, i will surely explode! So what is the next step? what happens when you feel like youre the only one around you really chasing after this? well i started reading "forgotten God" by Francis Chan yesterday. Im already half way through it which is suprising since i dont read very often. this book is so good! All i want is the Holy Ghost to come and totally ruin me. i have asked for this for a while now but not in full expectation and this book has made me realize that if im asking for the something the Lord has promised us then there is no way i wont get it! so im now humbly asking for this but in full expectation that my Father gives good gifts to His children. Also a while ago the Lord gave me a guitar and told me that when i play, He will come. So thats what i have been doing and He really is having grace over me and im getting break through with guitar. even though i only know one strum pattern that i play to every song and i know the same chords but just move the capo, it doesnt even matter. my Daddy still loves it!! Its amazing and i know that He has been delighting in me and just dancing over me when i play, like a father watching his child perform. If only i could just run into His arms and feel Him hold me really tight. thats what i truly desire. I know its coming because the Father is the creator of affection and i know He can show the greatest amounts of it.
well i guess thats all for now :)

new to this. a trip to wonderland


So my first blog will be about what the Lord revealed to me recently through the new movie Alice in Wonderland.


  • the theme throughout the movie was finding your identity and the authority you recieve when you learn who you are.

  • in the beginning alice talks about her reoccuring dream to wonderland. i believe this is talking about your destiny. Alot of times the Lord reveals things by reoccuring signs, whether it be dreams, thoughts, or even seeing repetition of symbols.

  • Towards the beginning of the movie alice also talks about being proper with her aunt. the word "proper" to me represented a religious mindset. The only reason it mattered was for the pleasing of other people.
  • When alice falls into the rabbits whole she is entering a whole new world. she leaves everything behind, any mindsets, fears, possesions, etc. she goes in a childlike amazement into this place of wonder and doesnt look back

  • The queen of hearts and her army. this can represent many things. the first time i watched it i just saw it as the dark side. but the second time i watched it the Lord revealed something new about it. so society today teaches us that love is a synonym for lust. The Lord has shown me otherwise: real love actually has nothing to do with feelings. its about sacrifice, honesty, and trust. But because Jesus is true love our definition of love has been attacked. red and hearts is a common symbol for love as well as hearts. all the people surrounding the queen are imposters (fake nose, belly, ears, etc.). this is also clearly seen by the way the king hit on alice in order to trick her. This is so deceiving and the world has made it so common that people don't even realize that they are not one in the same.

  • one of the most prophetic parts of the movie is when alice goes into the house where the beast is kept. It had harmed her before so she entered in her house with fear. It wasnt until she conquered her fear that she saw the authority she had. as soon as her fear was gone the keys around the animals neck were handed to her (keys of the kingdom).

  • The Lord created us to be in community with people. The whole purpose of friendship is to encourage each other and share in each others joy and pain. in ephesians 6 it talks about dressing yourself in armor. The only thing about the armor is that the back side of it is left uncovered. I believe that is where the encouragement from your friends comes in because it is meant to build you up.

  • scripture says that the word of the Lord is the sword of the Spirit. The word is truth and is used as an offensive attack on the enemy. The truth needs to be kept sacred because it is so powerful. The way that alice defeats the jabberwocky in the end is by the sword. the first thing she cut off was his tongue. because that represents the enemy being able to speak lies into your life. it is knowing your authority and that you dont have to listen to that. Alice was told before the battle: "the sword does the fighting, you just have to hold on to it" He was slayed by faith and the perseverance of being able to hold onto truth.

"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:4-5


There is so much more in this movie to be revealed but i thought i would share just a little bit of what was shown to me through it :)
