Verbatim (out loud) prayers are very important. I am realizing this a lot lately. For example: when someone innocently asks me to pray (out loud) my desires to God, I start sobbing. "What? Where did that come from?" I ask myself in my thoughts. "Why is it so hard to just tell God your deep longings?" I realized then how afraid I was to ask God anything for myself! It seems really stupid as I'm typing this out, but I think it's important to write this down.
So after my little sobbing party, I started to whisper the deep longings of my heart:
"Lord, make me fearless. Give me your heart for people who are un-loved by everyone. Give me your heart for my enemies, and people who have hurt me. I long for intimacy with you, and I long to have a husband who is wholeheartedly devoted to you!"
This seems like an easy prayer to pray, but it felt like five hours as I was muttering it out of my mouth! Afterwords I felt like a HUGE weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I feel more free! Who would have thought.. If you have never talked to God out loud about your hidden desires and passions, I encourage you to do so!!
Please be praying for me! I have a few things that came up today that I need to be chewing on. Plans for the future, and finances still! I need about 5,000 still for my school all together.

Every little bit helps. Consider yourself a partner in this amazing opportunity to reach out to the public school system in the Philippines! The government there has opened the doors for us to share the gospel openly to all the middle and high schools!! SO awesome. So please please please be praying that our whole team will raise the money we need to make this happen!
