2 years ago, September 30th, 2009 I began track 1 of Fire in the Night Internship here at IHOP-KC. The 6 months that I was here for internship were the most life-changing, heart-transforming months thus far in my life. God has done SO much in my life since Fire in the Night and He begun a lot of it there.
For instance, I was a girl who hated being hugged. I can't even express to you the hatred and coldness in my heart towards being hugged or even touched. I was so hurt and so confused about what love really was. Love was like a bad word to me...because I had been so hurt in the past, I just didn't want to open up my heart to anyone else. My heart was hard and cold and I was running away from God. I thought He was so mean. I couldn't understand or comprehend His love for me. I just was not willing to receive from Him. But, over the next couple weeks and months in the internship I started receiving revelation of Him, I started to receive Him. Eventually, (during inner healing class) I received a hug and as soon as I did, something broke off of me and my heart began to tenderize. The Lord was so patient with me. He never forced anything on me. He waited for me to surrender to Him and give Him 'permission' to work in my life. He waited for me to ask Him for help. He is so good!

- He restored relationships in my life
- He taught me so many things
- He gave me revelation in the knowledge of Him
- He healed my back little by little (and still healing it to this day)
- He never left me or forsook me
- He loves me!
- He put people around me to run with me and fight alongside me
- He fought and fights for me
- He showed me what love looked like
- He showed me that He is my friend!
- He answered the cries of my heart
- He blessed me abundantly
- He is leading me perfetly
- He disciplines me because He loves me
