So Great Is His Love

During class today, Allen Hood talked of Jesus and His love.  I am now sitting in the prayer room, (which I encourage you to check out the links to the RIGHT to see what it's like) I can't help but think of the incubator I am in, being at the International House of Prayer.  

How could you not fall in love with Him here?

He continues to reveal Himself in ways I cannot describe in words.

I hope to put one of the messages online for you to hear, if you would like.  I am everyday ever more grateful for your prayers and support.  Thank you for getting me here.  Much love, Alexandra

HEY HEY HEY! God is GOOD!

It's hard to believe that I have been living in Kansas City for two weeks.  It has gone so fast!  Danielle and I were talking last night and I said, "I think I feel like I live here now."  =)  Thank you Jesus!  


After two days of orientation, I went to Hays for a Luke and Sedera Sholtz's wedding.  It was such an amazing time to celebrate what God done in their lives with them!  Throughout orientation, I was blessed beyond measure!  People prayed for us, some received words of prophecy, we enrolled and talked with Student Affairs and campus administrators.  I have been praying for divine friendships and mentors as well as nothing to hinder my heart from being fully His during this time.  I know the reason I am studying at FMA is to be equipped for the calling on my life, so HOLD ON, Alexandra, the Lord is saying.  I'm going to be blow your mind!  =)


We are taking Modular Classes this semester, so for three weeks, I will be studying under Allen Hood "Excellencies of Christ."  WOAH!  What a class!  I left every class with so much revelation on the person of Jesus.  I've always known that when Jesus comes back, He will come as a man, but HE WILL COME AS A MAN!  I get it now!  How powerful!  Day 2  was incredible.  So much to share!  We're reading through Matthew this week.  Gotta love those words in RED!


One thing I underestimated was the quality of people at the International House of Prayer.  I found out that 1,500 people auditioned for FMA and only 150 were admitted.  God will make a way where seems to be no way!  Even after waiting five months to hear back on my audition, I am able to join them and I'm so grateful to be here!


Blessings beyond what you can think or imagine!  God continues to provide financially.  I pray that the overflow of His love poured out to you blesses those around you.  Thanks for being a blessing to me!  Much love - Alexandra

Home Sweet Home

Danielle (my roommate) and I settled in to our new abode as of Sunday here in Kansas City.  What a wonderful place to call home!  I hope to put a video up soon to show you.  Currently, our living room is filled with trash from our last Target run.  Danielle figures it will take three days for us to clear the room.  I'm hoping it doesn't take that long.  =)

Danielle and I have been getting to know each other over the last 48 hours.  That poor girl doesn't know what she's in for!  =)  We're having a great time finding out all kinds of things about each other.

Orientation starts tomorrow!  I can't believe it's really happening.  I have known God was sending me to FMA for a long time, so the reality that it all begins tomorrow is pretty surreal.  Orientation will be Wednesday to Friday.  I'll let you know how it goes.  I have already met some amazing girls that are students here too.  Life's about to get a little more interesting, I have a feeling.

Blessings to you all...until next time...
