Momentum.... its beginning.
Well this is week 5 of Preschool and probably the best week so far. Momentum. Says it. Saturday nights and Sunday mornings are so completely different. Like night and day and thats probably why. This past week I heard the Lord say "Jump in the river". Its beginning. I am telling you. The children are beginning to see pictures. Today a young gal (well they are all young) had a picture of a gift and it was purple well of course it was - when I asked her what color it was I knew she was going to say purple - why? its the color of royalty and Jesus was giving out gifts. Ha Ha is that not exciting. Ok so it does get better. During our lesson I was praying over the children for there ears to be open so they could hear Jesus and after I finished with the last little fellow ( I know I know they are all little ) one of the other little guys came stumbling over to me and he was like " I'm all dizzy" Ha Ha! So I was like " hey the Holy Spirit is here and is all over you- lay down" Then I had like 4 kids laying on the floor face down. Ha Ha I so kid you not. Then it was over. Oh boy its going to get good. I'm so excited I just can't hide it.....

Preschool - wild and wooly
So this is week 4 for me in my new ministry "the Preschool". It has been an up and down wild and wooly rollercoaster these past weeks. Thank you Lord for all your encouragement you have sent and all of your grace on me. Can I just tell you that the kids truly are amazing! We don't give them enough credit. They are soooo sensitve to the spirit.
Today in worship all the kids were jumping up and down to the music. Compared to the first week - they all just stood there and looked at me and wondered what planet I just flew in from. And when I ask them if Jesus showed them anything they are all starting to say "hey I saw this or that". There is just a sweet peace beginning to fill the rooms and the hallways. I feel like every week a new wall is being brought down. You can just sence it. This was our 4th week of walking around our Jericho. Instead of it getting easier it is actually getting harder. The great thing of working with this age- the kids emotions are written all over their face. As we march around - we are warring a spirtual battle and the children are like a reflection of what is going on in the spiritual realm. Today as we marched it was like marching through mud. It was dreadful. We were like pulling them (not literally). They marched slow and it was very somber. The first child had this look on his face that was like one who looked like he was dreading it and ready to step in poop. Its very interesting (well to me I guess). We have 3 more weeks of marching and the last week we are going to celebrate with shofars and worship.
I feel like everyday God is showing me something about the preschool and giving me ideas. So as he downloads to me I am triing to obey.

A New Adventure
2010 has and will bring many changes to our household. It has been an exciting journey into the new year. As we closed out 2009 we were in better shape financially then we had been in probably 2 years. Yea God! We seeded fianacially for provision to break forth and it did! We have had several snow storms also that brought work for my husband and has increased the cash flow. Yea God!
As of January 1st I started in a new position- a ministry actually. I was asked to become the Director of Preschool at my church. I am so excited about this opportunity to minister to the young children. God has been downloading so much to me in the past month about where he wants to take this age group. I have had many prophetic dreams about this in the past several years- not realizing it was pointing at this until now and also several dreams after I accepted the position.
I would like to share one of the dreams I had just recently. I was at a conference of some sort and there were people of great leadership there. ( I am only 4"11 so I am short but in this dream I was also very short and everyone else towered over me) As we gathered at this convention there was some sort of disturbance and we had to have a venue change immediatley. So everyone scattered to their cars. As I looked at everyones cars lined up they were all convertible luxury sportcars and everyone getting into the cars were acting like they were authority. They had weapons attached to there hips. It was very alarming. Here I was standing at my super hardtop big wheeled red jeep. Sorta feeling out of place. Just then a very friendly and handsome man was standing beside me smiling into my eyes and said - "I want to ride with you." "ummm well ok... I guess - I don't have a fancy converible or anything." So as we left and drove down the road the Director of the Childrens Ministry and the Assistant Director were riding in my jeep. As we were driving down the road I noticed it was a dirt road and I went to make a right hand turn but it wasn't a road it was a rest stop and I pulled out again and Bethany said" Kelly why not stop there and you can go swimming." Then I continued to drive looking for the right turn.
The impression of this dream to me was: At one point people were armed with authority to take their minstry in a certain direction/place but God is changing the direction and place and he is equipping me to go down roads less traveled and I might not have a fancy vehicle but He is equipping me with a vehicle that is built for durability and roughness and to go where we haven't gone before or very often. The guy -I believe was an angel.
To me this dream was confirming my calling right now. This is my 3rd weekend running the preschool and it has been totally exciting. I feel there are many walls that need to come down and God is tearing them down every week. He has really laid on my heart to teach the children to worship prophetically. So we are doing dance and soaking worship - currently. The kids are starting to get it. I have been able to pray with children weekly. Last week God healed a little guys chin that was hurting. Yea God! Each week I can see the handprint of our Father emerging on the children and this past week I kept hearing wildfire. There is a stirring that has started! I can't believe I have a front row seat! Whoo hoo! I would like to post more but for now I hope this gets your senses tingling!
