******MORE PICS TO COME***********

Living beyond yourself!

Started a womens group Bible Study at church today by Beth Moore called"Living Beyond Yourself" And just with the first session it was AMAZING.. I have not done a Beth Moore Bible Study since I lived in TN, I did the " Believe GOD" one and was just life changing... I am so excited about this one... My most favorite quote of the day from this study was......

Through the infiltrating power of the Holy Spirit, I can...
Do things I couldn't
Feel things I didn't
Know things I wouldn't
My Purpose is BEYOND ME!

Gotta get this off my chest

OK this just made me sick to find out about this at church tonight and to read about it online when I got home... Ray Bolts is GAY???????????????? That made me just sick to my stomach... It has become more and more common it seems for these people we hold "highly" and it just disgusts me. It was Kirk Talley whom I have been reading doesn't say he has been "reformed" just learning to live with this sin??? WHAT??? To well known preachers who cheat on their wives for YEARS and think it wont be found out.. to Well known missionaries who rape and molest Innocent kids... UGH... sickening... and sad just so sad.... It is not like we don't have enough stuff thrown at the Christian Community than our "own" people hafta go and make a joke out of it as well.. Does it matter that he is famous?? It shouldn't.. I know when I back slid it caused that same shame and that is something that without it being nailed to the CROSS and covered by the blood something I couldn't live with.. I honestly do not know how much longer GOD is going to be able to sit up there and look down on what HE created and see how because HE gave us FREE WILL we have just made a joke out of something that could of been so beautiful.. Instead look at the world around us.. It gets worse with every passing day.. I tell ya if we are not ready or where we should be now is the time to do it. I am speaking to my self here... Now is the time to let go and LET GOD have HIS way in our lives.. Let go of whatever is holding us back.. Forgive move on .. look at eternity instead of each other.. If we would stay in the Bible instead of our blogs all the time we might learn more... If we would stay on our knee's instead of gossiping about stuff that happened YEARS ago we might see more souls saved.. If we prayed for one another and realized our OWN short comings instead of being so quick to point out our brother/sister's we might see more being done for the GLORY OF GOD... It's like the song says.. "It's a slow fade"

Lord please help me to be more like you.. show me the things in my heart that are unlike you.. take everything LORD so I can be more like you.. DEAR GOD please help me to live the way you want me to live.. help me to see eternity through the eyes of the cross.. Help me to not only live for today but for all the rest of my tomorrows.. Give me the grace to carry the CROSS as I should.. And most of all LORD please keep me... from slipping away.. from becoming blind.. from forgetting the teachings of my youth which I know to be true.. Lord I pray this for not only myself but everyone around me. Help us to get back to the place we belong.. the place we have not forgotten.. the place where we knew right from wrong before it's to late.. Help us to teach our own kids the value's and principles and standards that have brought us this far in life.. May we live the example and not just talk it or preach it.. I pray this with everything in my heart and soul.. Show us. teach us.. lead us.. In Jesus name I pray...
AMEN

Amazing JUST AMAZING!!

I just had to stop and take a minute in my BUSY day to say a public... THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR BLESSINGS ON ME!!! I can not go into detail yet but I will soon share an AMAZING testimony on what GOD is doing in our lives right now and how it is all coming together for the GLORY of HIM!! I am so overwhelmed with thanksgiving and praise right now I can barely keep my attention on school with the girls:) What GOD has done in the last 6 hours alone is simply AMAZING and totally all about HIM!!! I SOOOO badly want to tell it now but I must wait.. and it will so be worth it... So stay tuned.. the best is DEFINITELY yet to come :)

This and That

UGHHH.. ok I had a post all ready and IT GOT DELETED before posting..lol so this will be a fast food version of my previouse planned one..lol

We are doing good and feeling much better.. We really miss steve and have decided to put any further plans on hold for awhile to see what happens with his company( ugh) We desperatly need your prayers about this situation as we really miss our "daddy" and hubby!! We are still trying to get settled in our SMALL house but am thankful for what GOD has blessed us with.. We are back into the school year full swing and the girls are doing well. We are loving the Awana's this year and the girls love their sunday school classes ( as do I) This saturday they are having a "Kid's 4 Christ" bash and the girls are very excited about that... We are still adjusting to this "new" life and am so thankful we have a Heavenly Father who can be all and everything we need. I am not sure what all I am missing but it is very LATE or early in the morning which ever way you want to look at it and I must close and get my printing finished that I need done for tomorrow and next week... Take care and trust everyone is doing well..

P.S
Please pray for my Uncle Mike as I got word he has had 2 mild heart attacks and is not feeling well. Also remember his family during this as well.. He has 5 girls and 2 grand Babies and I am sure they could use it to.
