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!

Another end to a begining

So we are officially done with our Internship...can I say mixed emotions??? We feel so excited, nervous, confused(mostly me), happy, scared..the list goes on. I mean all in all it was an amazing experience but while taking a deep breath and exhaling I am kinda glad it has come to an end. We have made so AMAZING friends that I hope will be with us for quite a while. Here some of our moments....





We truly love these people and are so blessed to have them in our lives. Thankfully there is quite a few families like our and even singles that are permanently here at least for a while like us also. That makes this continuous transition a little easier.

So for Ismo he will be starting a Media Apprenticeship which will next year become a school here at FSM. He will be full time and is really looking forward to it. I am so proud of him...God is doing so much for him! As far as me...I am still trying to work out all the kinks. I believe I will be doing either Part-time staff and hopefully taking a class at FSM. Also for my service time I would like to be apart of a prophecy team. So God willing it will all work and our schedules will flow. But we truly are blessed no matter what we do...if we just did this move just to see our kids grow the way they have, it would be worth every sacrifice ever known.

Old Blog thought was fitting for our now season in Life!

So this is something I wrote about our transition from Tracy, CA to Pleasanton, CA. Who would have know that we would be where we are at now in Kansas City, God preparing us all along...so I just reread it and thought I would post it.

Transitions of Life Current mood: determined Category: Life
Soooo....we have entered what I believe is a new season in our lives. We have moved out of the comfort of our own home where we found our peace, our tranquility. There is nothing like your home it is yours and your families santuary. Sometimes though God moves you out of what we would call our comfort zones. He wants us to reach farther to go deeper in our faith.
Some people think it is cruel or you have to be doing something bad to be put in certain difficult situations. But I beg to differ...God puts those that He has really great plans for through really great fire and testings.
Some people run to God more when they are having problems and fall farther away when everything is great. I have found myself to be the opposite. I find it harder for me sometimes when I am going through what sometimes are the hardest things in life. I still seek but feel alone even though I know with all my heart I am never alone.
As a mother your mind is so hard to find a down time or rest it never stops. What if my kids get sick, what if something happens at school, how do there friends treat them, am I doing enough, what can I do to be a better mother/wife? All these questions go through the mind of a mother day in and day out. So with life getting at you in every direction life is sometimes so harsh.
But through all of this transition I look at my husband and children and know that I am working towards a bigger and better future. And no I am not just talking about a nice house, picket fence and an RV. I am not even talking about the day when my kids graduate high school, bless me with new son in laws and daughter in law. Or even the day my babies bless me even more with my precious grandbabies...tear, tear. I am talking about the day I see Jesus face to face. When I know this race I have run, the blood, sweat and tears I have shed where not all for nothing! This is the day I truly have my home!
I don't care (even though there is days I do :O) ) if I never own a home or if I never see the other side of the country. But as long as I know that I have been the best wife, mother and daughter I could be and have instilled all the values that my heavenly Father and earthly mother and father has tought me. Then and only then I know that I have done my job.
We will get through this transition in our life...there is nothing impossible for those that love the Lord. For His yoke is easy His burden in light. So I give it ALL to Him. The One that can carry it all that has carried the sin of the world on His shoulders, My sweet Jesus. We will get through and move on to our NEXT transition in life.
We just have to believe that we will succeed!! And above all trust and love with all our hearts.

OM Goodness its snow!!

So we woke up on Sunday morning with the ground completely covered in snow. The kids were freaking out this being there first time actually seeing snow. They ran outside to just run back in realizing this is not just a picture this stuff is cold and so is it outside! lol We could barely get Keilani back in the house to get ready for church. Then after we did get ready they were all out there throwing snow balls at each other...including Elijah pegging me in the neck with one. It is much funnier now then when it happened. :o) Well here are some pics from it...otherwise we are trying to stay warm and gearing up for more family coming this week, Will just leaving a few weeks ago and that was a really great time. He said he is forever wrecked by what was poured into him while he was out here! God was hitting him with word after word of confirmation!! Love it!
