fam'n it up!

I have been so excited to have my family here. It has been years since we have spent time together...even though we are still missing two important people and some lil ones we have been enjoying our time. Yesterday we went to the Plaza hung out and met up at Blanc Burger with our cousin Leann who is living in Kansas like 15 min away from me. I love having some of my family around and I am super sad that my cousin Leann may be moving back to Cali. BUT I am praying the Lord changes her mind! haha!

Anyhow will update some more...we are off to Branson, MO tomorrow. I will post pics next week sometime.

Until then...love, peace and hair grease!

Our update...soon to be regular basis blogging. I promise! lol

I just wanted to blog and give a way over due update to what is new with us! We are truly doing fantastic and are fully submerged in our lives as a Media Missionary Family! We are absolutely blown away at where the Lord has landed us here at the Prayer Room and on the Missions Base. We had no idea that He would orchestrate the two of us in the Media Department. Ismael as a director for the 24/7 live webstream that is now FREE @ www.theprayerroom.tv and myself as the Media Production Manager for the Creative Services side which is all the non-live projects we do like promo's, podcasts and tv highlights.

Ismael is working as well in the IHOP warehouse as the Head Selector. We are hoping this is just a season until the Lord releases more finances in means of support. Him working 72 hours a week including meetings and time in the Prayer Room isn't always easy but he does it with such a happy heart and just wanting to do the Lord's work and will for our lives.

The kids are doing AMAZING! Getting so big and growing closer in their relationship with the Lord. The girls are all honor roll students and are getting ready to start softball. Elijah is finishing up his kindergarten year the top of his class and reading like a champ! We truly could not be more proud parents of our four amazingly talented children. They love truly love Jesus and have such a heart for the kids around them at school hurting. Kamia asked one day, Momma why can't we just be homeschooled? Keilani and Kiana's response to her was if we didn't go to school then how would the kids find Jesus? They blow us away everyday! Oh how our hearts are stirred up by their ever growing faith in our Creator!!

We want to take the time to thank you all for your loving support and prayers that have got us through this HUGE transition in our lives. We would like to ask you all to partner with us in prayer for a few things.

1st we are coming to the end of our 2nd year lease in the house we are in and asking and believing in the Lord to make a way for us to purchase our very own home. We feel that this is the Lords will but need prayer for everything to go smoothly and that we qualify for something. So please pray, pray, pray!

2nd thing would we would love your prayer on is the Lord releasing more supporters that are called to the marketplace and want to partner with missionaries like us that are working hard and sacrificing much to get the Lords word across the world! We sit before the Lord praying for our Nation, the surrounding Nations and of course all of you! Declaring His goodness to all that have ears to hear and to open eyes and ears for those in need of His love! The Lord is hastening the day of His Son's return and He is calling for us to call out to Him! We need those called to partner with us to continue His work.

3rd and last thing...we feel one day in the future that we will adopt and take in the fatherless. The Lords heart is for the orphan and we want to carry His heart. So just keep us in prayer that if it is His will He will make it happen!

Well we are done talking your ears off...we are just really excited to see what He is doing in our lives and just want to share with the ones we hold so dear to our hearts...you!

Any prayer requests or have any questions about us and what we are doing? Please comment...we really want to hear from you all!

Testing, 1, 2, anyone there?

So yes I know...once again it has been quite a while since I have blogged. With that said this one may kinda be all over the place. Giving lil tidbits of info on what has been going down in our ever so amazing and interesting life! lol

Where to begin...well let's start with my NEW job! Whoohoo! I must say God is the orchestrator of all good things. He most definitely had his hand all over this one. I had been working in the Web stream Dept on the Missions Base at IHOP-KC and really loving the people I was working with. I mean they are some AMAZING people that really made me crave more of what God has for me. Anyhow I knew that this was not where I was going to stay...you know that feeling inside that, "this is not it". With many tough decisions ahead of me and 1 lesson learned of just cause it looks good doesn't mean it's His will...I mustered up the courage to apply for a position within the Media.

I essentially applied for one of two possible positions, but heard there were 3 open. Needless to say I interviewed and was, I guess you would say, selected for a position that I had no idea I would be doing. I within the next week or so accepted the position of Media Dept Production Manager. Whoa, even saying it makes me a lil crazed! ha! I knew very little of what the real inner workings of the Media entail. Now granted I know some things because Ismo is a Director and me working within the Web stream Dept. So again...the Big Guy set me up! He knew exactly where to place me to land me in this position. I am absolutely humbled and terrified all at the same time. I truly want to do a really good job and pray everyday that I would be able to grasp what is thrown at me. I want to be able to be a good leader with a humble heart. To be one that has my eyes so fixed on Him that I'm able to help others carry their heart through this life. Truly asking for God to help me to be Christ-like in all my ways.

Not only did I start this position but I worked my 1st Onething Conference with approx 20, 000 attendees!! Whoohoo! God so rocked us this year and I was soooooo nervous. Ismo was trying to keep focused with working in two place on the Mission Base which both are very demanding during this time...so much to do! But he did such a great job of working all the hours he did and trying to remain in good spirits.

We thank the Lord for 2010 and what it has in store for us. We had a really nice Thanksgiving and Christmas as well. We have so much to celebrate and be thankful for and these holidays give you such an amazing chance to reflect on these things.

Oh how the days fly!

I know, I know! Its been quite some time since I have blogged. We have been staying so busy with the kids 1st being out of school for the summer and all the summer activities. Then so busy once they started school again. This year ALL 4 of the kids are in school FULL time! Its so crazy and I can't believe that we are at at this new stage in life. I'll be turning 30 in 6 months we now have a 5th, 3rd, 2nd and kindergartner! WOW!! They are doing amazing in school and keeping there A,B averages. Keilani is being put in a class for gifted and talent once a week and they want to test the girls too. Elijah cant be tested until next year but he is doing amazing. He is already beginning to read...but we all know he is given his teacher a run for her money! lolWe have entered into this transition...into what you ask? We are wondering the same thing! Hubby took a six week sabbatical to focus more on the family, God and pursuing deeper inner healing. We have truly been on a roller coaster since July. We have opened up our home and have had family & friends staying with us off and on since we moved here and now we officially as of yesterday without house guest. So Ismo has just finished Pure Heart and 8 week course into a journey of healing through the Beatitudes and now started Living Waters which is a 6 month long course that goes even deeper. This is all at the Lords request so he is being obedient. We all have junk from living in this world but its up to us to learn how to deal with it and free up our heart for more of God. So in that he is now entering into a season that he will be working and entering back into full time Media as a director until we can raise enough support to be able to commit more into our jobs as Intercessory Missionary's.

I have begun my journey on staff at the International House of Prayer. I work in the Web stream Tech Support office with some AMAZING people. I also still dedicate 4+ hours a week to leading in the program Pure Heart I mentioned about. Seeing people set free from there wounds and pains is truly priceless. So outside of these two things I am at home with my wonderful kids that I love and drive me crazy all at the same time! ha!

My kids have grown and matured so much spiritually and know that God is the answer to all of lives problems. They cause me to want to go deeper in my relationship. Kiana and Keilani are both in internships called Samuel Co Tuesday nights where they spend 4 hrs in the prayer room and in teaching from amazing leaders like Lou Engle, Cory Asbury...

We are still fully convinced this is where the Lord has us and look forward to this new season. We have hopes to buy a house in the near future and believe that God will provide over and beyond what our minds can fathom! He is so good. So keep up with us on this journey to see what He does next...never a dull moment!! I'll be sure to keep the updates comin more often!!

We Will Count It All Joy!

That is our life statement right now! James 1:2 &3 We have gone through many a trials in the last months...well years! haha! But it truly has been a true refiners fire for us. We are happy and proud of the many obstacles in life we have over come. It has produced much patience (still need more!) and confidence in our walking this thing out...in our pursuit of finishing the race. Even though we have gone through the seizures, hospitalizations...haha! We will continue to laugh in the face of adversity! God has allowed us to go through things not because we are doing anything wrong but because we are doing everything right! At least to the best of our ability. We have much more to conquer and much more to sift through, but our hearts remain un-offended and focused on the One true hope, our God and King!

We know He is smiling down on us!

Grandpa

So where do I even start, what do I even say?


I have been procrastinating on this forever...maybe because of the mass emotions I/we have gone through the last few months. The unexpectedness of ones death is emotional. My grandfather Randolph Q. Moore passed on Feb 5th 2009. Just 16 days before the 7th anniversary of my mothers death. So this was tough...even though I know without a shadow of a doubt I will see my grandfather again and that my mother was the first to greet him, it still has its emotions. My two beautiful cousins and I stayed at our grandparents house while out in Cali for the services and to be of help to our Uncles in this time. We were truly unsure as to if we were going to be able to do this, but it ended up being huge healing for us all. We truly had what the bible says that God does. He turns mourning into laughter! We bonded in every sense of the word. We spent some true time together as cousins. We rarely wanted to be apart at all...we stuck by each other like Peanut Butter and Jelly! lol I will miss the only grandfather I have ever had. The interest he had in my life and always wanting to know that me and the kids were happy. I have had to also mourn my grandmother at the same time. With her Dimentia she is truly not her self and looks at you like, I know you dont I? But nothing...I love them with all of my heart. They will always be in my thoughts and in my heart.

Christmas time!!

So Christmas Eve flies in...feeling like we just had Thanksgiving the week before! I have to say we are truly blessed being down here. You have all maybe heard me say this in previous blogs but I truly mean this. Even in the days I am miserable with life. We have some family out here and have been on a true roller coaster watching such loved ones go through some of the most challenging of times and trying to be there and be an encouragement for them when you are dealing with your own junk. But in this God is like "its OK...trust my leadership. Look at what I have put before you." He has given us some amazing friends that have already been such a support system for us even in the small amount of time we have known them.

So moving on we to Christmas Eve...we had of course Gabe, Des, Sam, Martina and Titi here at the house and invited our friends Chriss, Steven and there son Brett over for food and a night of games. We got to do a lil exchange of presents and just enjoyed each others company.

On Christmas day itself we really just did last minute cleaning up the house and preparing for my dad and step-mother that would be coming the day after Christmas. So much excitement as we prepare!
