"it's falling from the clouds...

...a strange and lovely sound." -Phil Wickham

Wow. I have been a busy little bee as of late.

This will be the another weekend that I will be away from home because of a retreat or conference. I must say they have all been pretty awesome. Idea Camp in Las Vegas, Encounter in San Diego, and next a retreat with the leaders of Mexico Outreach. Hopefully we'll get to bond with some other people seeking to spread God's love!

God is really moving on our campus and is beginning a revival! Last weekend a handful of people I know went down to San Diego with me and we were able to worship and be fed by others seeking after the Father. Boy, did the Holy Spirit show up! Worship was great and people were receiving spiritual gifts and encountering God's presence.

But before we left there was a little hiccup...we were supposed to leave around 2:45pm so Rachel and I were going to pick up people around 2:30. But one of the girls called saying her car broke down and she needed to move it from the spot it was in because she would be gone for the weekend. So we go to find her. She's obviously stressed and upset. Campus safety comes and tries to jump it. It does not work. They suggest getting it towed. No thank you. They cannot help push it anywhere. I call Brian. He leaves class to come help. She had parked the wrong way in the slanted spaces but it ended up being perfect. She put it in neutral and steered. Rachel directed traffic. Brian and I pushed. hahahaha It was so fun! And was much easier than I had anticipated. Then we left for the weekend.

When we came back, her car was safely in the spot where we had left it. We went over, laid hands on it, prayed for it, and then it started. VROOM. Thanks God! Basically, we resurrected a car in the name of Jesus Christ. lol And experienced spiritual warfare through that small circumstance. But God remains the same in this corrupt and chaotic world.

I'm excited to learn from whatever He has in store for this coming weekend!

Also, my roommates and I had heard a story about a pet store in the area. Apparently several years back a few parakeets got loose and have been roaming free. I was unsure if this story was a comical local legend or a true story. Until today. As I was biking home from campus, in a tree right on my street I heard lots of birds. Then, when I was right underneath the tree I see two clearly green birds swoop and gawk. It's true! There are flocks of green parakeets flying around my neighborhood! hahaha Awesome.
