A still small voice

Hello all out there!

First, I want to apologize for not keeping you up to date as much as I would have liked.

But can I tell you about this last week!

Every Monday night I am involved in an extra curricular "club" called Terra Nova. Our goal is to be the spiritual leaders for campus through prayer and servant hood. We were meeting this last Monday and God spoke to me in such a personal way I have tears running down my cheeks as I testify to you now.
He told me "Gretchen, just like I told Elijah (1 Kings 19:11-13), I am not in the fire, nor the wind, I am in the still small voice. Gretchen, if you don't slow down, you are not going to hear my voice." This was not a rebuking statement, just a matter of fact statement. That if I did not quiet my soul and of my busy life style, I was not going to hear Him. And if I do slow things down, I am going to hear that still small voice. And by George, this last week has been the hardest but the best week of my life here at the Honor Academy. God is just telling me "to be still and know that He is God." "To come to Him when I am weary, and He will give me strength." Campus had the privilege of having KP Yohannan come and share his heart with us. He told us that godliness is not reading books, listening to sermons everyday, or going to church. But every moment of every day, living in brokenness, humility, and repentance before the Lord our Savior. My eyes were opened. God does not desire the sacrifices or burnt offerings I try so hard to concoct up for Him. Rather, a broken spirit, broken and contrite heart. of me just living and communing in His presence.

It is a dangerous prayer, to ask God to humble you. :) I have been learning humility and work ethic like crazy this last week in my ministry placement with Global Expeditions. God is preparing me for this next year as I am getting ready to come and to serve Spokane. I want to be able to serve Christ in everything I do, as I want to do it unto Christ. He is calling me home to Spokane to serve the city. Through working, intercession, and relationships. He is already doing a huge spiritual move in the Pacific Northwest that for the next few years at least, I know He is calling me to be a part of.

I am going to specifically get involved in the Healing Rooms in Spokane and be an intercessor. There is a church as well that God already has a place for me, I just don't know which one yet. I am also feeling a call to work with the homeless, to speak life into them.
The Healing Rooms are going to prepare me for the mission's field down in South America.

For my missions’ trip that I am required to take before I graduate, I am going to Alaska for a month. From July 10- Aug. 5th Did you know Alaska has the highest suicide rate out of all 50 United States? God is bringing me here because of the Joy of the spirit that I have. It is to bring hope to this depressed and hopeless nation. We are going up to the Anchorage area to minister to the Indian Villages. We are just building repoirt and relationships with the families. Please be praying that with every conversation I have with every man and woman will be anointed. God is going to do miracles up there. Normal ones, like healing the sick and raising the dead! I truly believe this!

My dear family,

I love you all so much, I appreciate the prayers, letters, and emails. I don't even think you know how much they encourage a sister in Christ to continue to not just run the race, but run to win!

A praise!
With all of the faithful support you have been sending in monthly, my internship is just about paid off, and with the continuance of support coming in, my mission’s trip to Alaska (which costs about $2460) will be paid off as well! Thank you for being faithful, I can't wait to see you all, show you all of the pictures from Alaska and my year here after I return August 12th!

A prayer request:

The tornado's have started and one struck about 20 minutes from campus. I am not afraid at all, because if My God could tell the storm to calm, I know I can as well and campus is covered by the blood of Jesus.
Can you please be praying for the small community of Van that was devastated by this tragedy? That the church will come together to support and to bring light before the state does. This is just another ministry opportunity!

Thank you all once again, I cannot wait to wrap my arms around each of you as I see the three months left on this campus are going to fly by!
