Praise Report!

well... you will probably read this before the problem! First of all: God is an amazing provider! After the prayer request i proceeded to look for jobs online. I was checking out Steamers, Jazz Cafe, Fitness bar and Grill, a couple day cares, photographer job, art supply warehouse and Plush... however i wasnt feeling that excited about any of them (part of my prayer pre-search was that when I came across the job for me I would know) after many wasted hours online (and not working) i began to give up for the day. During those last few min Kent was talking on the phone. I heard him say something about children's illustrations so i was naturally curious about the job. He knew that I was interested, but when he said "I have to trust that you will really pump this thing out" he was more serious then ive ever seen him be. As we continued to talk i began to realize that this job was seeming all about me... and... it was! Kent's commission was to manage a job, meaning he finds the people to do it, approves, finances and delegates authority... and i, MAKE THE DARN THING! I chose allie as an assistant (because i know she has done mural work and wants to pursue that field) there are 4 walls, 21 x 10ft, 12 x 9ft, 13 x 8ft, 9 x 6.5ft... after prayer, talking to Kent, AJ, Dad and Allie I have decided to do it! ..::sigh::.. i cant believe its really happening! And the fact that Kent wanted to ask me first is a great honor :,) im sure in the 30 years he has been in the mural business he could have found someone of more experience, but he saw my need for a job and knew that it was God's timing. (FREAKIN HECK YES!!) so... im going to be having the time of my life painting my dream job while making enough money to cover my budget (and if we make the Jan dead line we set for ourselves) ill make more! Kent also mentioned that since its such a big thing, and since we are going to blow their minds with such an amazing mural then it would get the ball rolling for future commissions that we could work together on (bashful smile) I have been most humble about being his personal assistant, but now... ill be his partner :D the signature on the bottom :

Prayer Tunnel

Thursday night was women’s night and Nicole led it (She mentioned earlier this summer in a previous posting). She had been felling that the lord wanted us to do a prayer tunnel. This is when the group gets into two lines facing each other (like what one would see at a Hoe Down) and then everyone goes through the tunnel and is prayed for. The whole time the people in line are praying for whatever the Lord is leading them to pray for, regardless of whether or not they are laying hands on the person walking through. The people walking through are not praying but receiving prayer from the tunnel.
This whole experience was amazing. People were just in constant prayer, the Holy Spirit was moving in that room. People started taking longer amounts of time to pray for the women passing through the tunnel. It ended up to be a traffic jam in the tunnel. Sadly we had to end it as it was getting to late, so more then half didn’t get through the tunnel. Nicole said that she has never seen it last that long, we just wanted to keep praying over each other. I thank God for this, because people may now see that praying for long periods of time isn’t as bad as the enemy would like us to think.
I would love to see the Train Station do this. It is awesome how the Lord gives you things to pray for as the person is walking through the tunnel. I know that there were two girls that the Lord let me see into their lives. One girl, He had me pray over her future and where she would go with that. Let’s just say that the Lord has big plans for that girl in foreign countries. Another girl, I just saw her dancing before the Lord, He didn’t want her to hold back. It was such a blessing to be used by God to speak into my sisters’ lives.
Like I said, I would love to see the Train Station do this. The staff project director told us in the beginning of the summer that “There is nothing that makes us love others more than praying for them” I feel that this would be an awesome way to encourage each other, love on each other, and build each other up in prayer.

I love you all, and as I have said many many times, I miss you all very much!
With the deep love that only Christ can supply I remain your sister,
Jessica
