Blessed♥

Justin and I have been so blessed. We have been praying and God has been answering our prayers. It's funny how we pray because we want change, yet when it happens, it surprises us! We should EXPECT God to shower his blessings over us! He wants to! :)

Just a few happenings in our little world:

Last weekend Justin and I drove to Redding, CA with our friend Sarah to see our friends Cierra and Jason. They recently moved there to go Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry. It was awesome being able to see and hang out with them. We got to experience Bethel Church last Sunday morning and were rocked and amazed! I got a vision during worship and Justin was called to pray over the entire congregation! Before we left, Jason and Cierra and their roommates-- Ton and Rianne-- prayed with Justin, Sarah and me. We were all thinking it was going to be a "have a safe drive home" prayer, but God had other plans. We all started to pray and with our hands joined-- God's presence came upon all of us! Each and every one one of us got prophesied over and we were rocked by the Holy Spirit. We were all laughing with Joy! Ton and Rianne, whom Justin and I had just met 2 days before, spoke into our lives with such a knowing and a passion, that they would not have had any other idea, except by the Holy Spirit speaking to them directly.

Justin and I have experienced this sort of thing before, but not for a long time and not TOGETHER. We got spoken over us as a married couple and it was awesome to know that God smiles upon our relationship and that we bring Him joy just by being together :) We were told that our marriage is and will be an inspiration to others! :) It was also encouraging to know that we are not alone. Meaning there are others in our world that have the same passionate fire in their hearts, that are going through the same things as we are and that will be walking on the same path. Justin had leadership-through-teaching, prophecy, and "that he will see many healings" spoken over him-- that he was going to start actually seeing and walking out what he has just been reading and hearing about. I got spoken over regarding being an evangelist and using the sweetness that God has given me to reach others. And there was so much more! God is so good!

Justin and I have been praying for God to bless us financially and we are happy to report that we've been given extra opportunities to make money, and have been simply GIVEN money as well! Checks have come in the mail! Money has come through for us that has been definitely unexpected!

Just yesterday, Justin and I were grocery shopping with Becky (mom-in-law) at WINCO. We had a certain budget to stick to, but to our dismay we were a little over when we were checking out at the register. We both started putting items back that we figured weren't necessary and were considered extra. Becky can attest to the fact that the lady that was behind us in line, the very lady I apologized to for making her wait, spoke up and told us that she would pay for the all of the items we were putting back!! Justin and I, shocked that this stranger would even offer such a thing, told her she didn't have to and that we were fine with putting the extra food back. But she in turn insisted, and said that if her husband was there, he would have done the same thing! She then went on to say that she would be very happy to do it and that she and her husband have been blessed in the past and wanted to return, or pay forward, the favor. Justin and I thanked her profusely and Justin asked her for her name, which was Lisa. I told her that she was answering our prayers by blessing us, which she seemed delighted to hear.

God does not cease to surprise and amaze us! :)

Expect the unexpected...
