Where
do I even begin?
I
got home from G42 on April 1st and the Lord has been quite literally
blowing my mind with His extravagant love. The biggest miracle yet, is that…
I am no longer an orphan, I am a daughter!!!
While
I was in Spain, He set me free of the remnants of rejection, rebellion and
selfishness. He humbled me and wooed me with His love. My identity is firmly
rooted in being His daughter, and He shows me everyday how much He loves me and
I love Him back.
I have to spread the Spirit of God
through this blog, because He’s sooooo good!
When
I arrived home to Los Angeles, I had my dreams, my desires and my hopes. I was
filled up and ready to serve and love. I was welcomed into a loving home of
women and right back into community that I thank God for everyday!
I
started looking for work immediately and going through the process of emailing,
phone calls, interviews and job applications. I worked hard for two weeks and
got an awesome job! I mean, I couldn’t have prepared a better job to walk into.
I will be working at a fitness kids camp teaching and influencing…their sweet
little lives. I start training this weekend and will start work in July. I’ll work
from 9-5, m-f on the beach with the kids, so it’s going to be exhausting but so
rewarding. Praise God!!!
Soon
after I got the job and while I was planning on moving into an apartment in
Santa Monica, I got a phone call. It was from my neighbor and friend, Briana.
She had been offered a job working in the Hamptons for the summer, and God laid
me on her heart and she asked if I
wanted to move into her room while she was gone. We worked out the kinks and we
were able to help each other out. I help her with her rent, she gives me her
place and I am borrowing her car. It was clearly a blessing from heaven and
more than I expected for this season. I went from sharing a room, riding the
bus and not having a job to having my own room for the first time in 2 years. I
am able to drive her car without a car payment which enables me to work and
serve here everyday! The Lord has faithfully provided all that I need through
promotional jobs with different marketing companies, working for my friend Lory
Ishii who is a lawyer and then the kid’s camp job in July.
That
is really just icing on the cake, cause during all of this unfolding, the Lord
was beautifully orchestrating people in my life. In the past 2 ½ months, I have
seen more miracles, answers to prayers, transformation of hearts and freedom
then ever before. I’m on my face almost every day in complete awe of God. He
has provided such an epic community of men and women of God, that I just can’t
even thank Him enough. We meet almost everyday to pray, prophesy and encourage
each other. We are knit together and truly like the church in Acts 2, where it
says that:
Everyone around
was in awe-all those wonders and signs done through the apostles! And all the
believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common. They sold
whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was
met.
They followed a daily discipline of
worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration,
exuberant and joyful, as they praised God. People in general liked what they
saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were
saved.
That
is pretty much the community God is providing for me here, and it’s expanding
more and more. We root each other on, we share common vision for revival here
in L.A. and we are serving each other’s dreams. I love cooking for my friends
and seeing the Spirit of God bond us together. I have been transformed since
G42 in Spain. The Lord has changed
my heart to a heart of a wife and mother because for the first time, I’m living
as a daughter of the King and see my role in the Body. Praise Jesus that I see people through
His eyes, and that I want to nurture, help and activate people to be all who
God’s created them to be.
He’s
filled me with so much joy and I spread it all over L.A. I have people asking me “why are you so
happy?” I get to tell them all about the love of Jesus and then I just end up
praying for them. I love loving Him, and His people. One of the ways God has
set me free is in the area of false identity. I used to hide behind masks to
just people please. I didn’t love myself so I tried to be everything that I
wasn’t. Now, I love the person God created me to be, and I’m so grateful to be
free and forgiven. Now I can see through to people’s hearts, and I want to love
them unconditionally. My favorite life verse is in Luke 7, where Jesus forgave
the woman that washed his feet with her tears. He said of her, “for she has
been forgiven much, so she loves much.” I will live my life loving
extravagantly, because He has loved me.
While
I was in Spain, God gave me a vision for a house of women that would minister
to other women through discipleship, prayer and hospitality. I knew the Lord
was going to provide, so all I had to do was pray and believe. I did that
faithfully and would share the vision with whomever God wanted me to. About two weeks ago, I was talking to
one of my friends Kasey, and she said, “I know this is going to sound weird,
but I think you’re supposed to be my roommate.” I didn’t think it was weird at
all, and realized it was totally a God moment. She began to share with me that
there is a mansion up in Malibu that is going to be used for ministry, so of
course we scream, laugh and pray. A week later we’re meeting with the owner who
shares his vision and we share ours. We move into the house in mid August and
will be discipling Pepperdine girls, having a 24/7 prayer room and I can cook
for people. AHHHHHHH!!!!! We will be serving the community, and believing God
for revival in Malibu that pours down to L.A. The rehab houses, AA meetings,
suicide and depression will be gone in Jesus name! Our house will be a house of
prayer, worship, healing and hospitality. Kasey and I are praying daily into
this and believing God is preparing us mightily for the task ahead. We’re
serving the ministry here, so we will not be paying rent, wow, really God?
That’s unheard of in L.A. let alone in Malibu. The house is beautiful I see so
much happening there that will literally bring healing and revival to people’s
hearts. This is seriously more than a dream come true!!…I gladly receive,
because I freely give!!!
Another
one of the ways, God is bringing the dreams He’s put into my heart to fruition
is…….
SWAZILAND!!!
I
was at my Monday night Bible Study about a month ago and I met the owner of the
home for the first time and realized she knows people from AIM and is actually
shooting a documentary in Swaziland this July. Her name is Elkin and her
husband is Bobby. They are beautiful souls!! Such a divine connection, it was unreal. I shared with her
about SAVETHEONE, and the following day we prayed and shared what God was
speaking to us. Very quickly the Lord began moving and we were on a call with
my mentor Maggie Jaruzel out of Michigan to pray into Swaziland. I knew I was
supposed to go on this trip to pray and serve this team. The campaign is called
S.O.S and it stands for Steps over Swaziland. We will walk across the country
of Swaziland from July 1st-July 16th telling peoples
stories, seeing orphans adopted and showing the needs that still need to be met.
It’s a story of hope, not despair. It’s a story of redemption, not death. It’s
a story of adoption, not abandonment. My heart breaks for this country and the people. I know now what it’s like to be a daughter and to be known, and it just breaks my heart to know there are people that don’t know they are known and loved my God. I am determined that no matter where I am, that I will reveal the Fathers heart to the orphan and they will come to Him. We are in prayer daily for this trip, the
team, the country, the support and seeing this country rise from the dead. At
this point in the process, I believe God will provide my miles for this trip. I
have accumulated about 30,000 miles and I need 60,000 more to get a flight.
Please pray and if you can help in that area, I gladly receive. If you want
more information about the documentary, team and company that is sponsoring
this, please go to www.nnlfilm.com
You
can also donate to my trip by clicking on donate and put in my name, Birkleigh
Foreman, SOS/Liquid and it’s quite easy to give via credit card and mail. Thank
you for praying into this with me and for your support!!!
I
had to tell my boss Eric who hired me to work the camp, that God was calling me
to go. I prayed about and trusted God had my back. He received the email and responded back with a resounding YES, you can
definitely come back to work for me on July 18th. C’mon JESUS!!!
So
here I am embarking on the most glorious season of my whole life and I’m not
doing it alone. I get to journey alongside amazing women and men of God. I had
prayed for God to send me Men of God and to surround me with redemption. He is
the God who answers prayers. He has literally surrounded me with so many men of
God, that I am assured that He’s raising up an army of them and I consider
myself kind of like a special ops. The Holy Spirit convicted me that in my
heart I was complaining and being negative about what I was seeing in the men
in my life.
The
Lord told me to lay down this attitude and adopt an attitude of HOPE and
PRAYER. He said, you’re going to see change, transformation and your prayers
answered if you start praying for these men, your future husband, brothers,
Dad, and friends, period. I repented and then got all warrior Spirit on the situation.
I haven’t prayed harder for this generation and men in my life. I’m set free
and I’m determined to set other people free with the Spirit of God, the joy,
and the hope that is in me. I’m not going to let despair, hopelessness,
temptation steal any of these men of God from our lives. Join me in praying for
revival for L.A. and for this country. Pray for the campaign S.O.S. in
Swaziland. It starts with the revival in our hearts, being faithful with a
little, and seeing everyONE the way God does.
