This August we will celebrate a 1 yr anniversary at Lake Cities Church, and in our beautiful home.

WOW! It seems so crazy! There might be more, but I can't think of them right now.


Reading the Psalm's is alot like riding on an emotional roller coaster!
Man! I can totally relate to David!

THIRTEEN THINGS ABOUT ME



1. I wholeheartedly adore God who fills my soul.
2. Jesus is my compelling Savior who fills my heart.
3. The Holy Spirit is my intercessor friend!
4. I am madly, romanticaly, passionately, uncontainably in love with my husband Joel who is my Hero!
5. I love my children so passionately and deep it hurts!
6. I admit I have NO idea how to be a preacher’s wife.
7. I love to cook, I love people, I love to worship in praise, and in service.
8. Paige inspired me to do the Thursday Thirteen, plus it's my husband's favorite number.
9. The virtuous woman is not the yardstick by which all women are measured, but the goal toward which all women should be moving.
10. God's grace is my lifeline, I truly have been rescued! If God were to strip it from me...I would be unrecognizable!
11. My heart breaks daily for His people who walk without the peace of His redeeming love.
12. I do not enjoy battling gray hair, or sweets, however I do enjoy reading to myself or anyone in my family who will listen (only Emily usually)
13. I believe life is a gift to be celebrated I should know..I've had many second chances!
14. Sorry but I had to put in 2 more. I desire to be a better disciple.
15. I truly believe God's word breathes life into us.

Hebrews 12:28,29
We are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire."


I read this scripture this morning and it almost took my breath away! WOW! I pray that myself and anyone who reads this will allow this profound truth to ignite a burning passion and strength in our hearts!

Are you tired of being tired? Then stand up and rebuke satan! Take back your living life that he silently replaced with an existent life!

satan has NO power over you! Rise up and fight! I'll cheer you on! Look for people in your life that are willing to be the Aaron's and Hur's for you!

Exodus 17:12 When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.

Think about it! We are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken!

May today you feel the Lord's presence, and know without hesitation, He is your strength..your protector, provider. Call on Him NOW!


He will give you a life that is alive and vibrant!

Well, it happened.Laura wrecked my car. She is fine, and fortunately did not involve another car. She just scraped/dented in the drivers door while leaving the gas pump on one of those cement pillars. It just looks ugly, but drives fine. Thank God she and Carla were not injured!

I asked John about my job description...he wants me to sell my crafts online, or do Real Estate. Anything that would allow flexibility to do my mom stuff, and not have locked in hours.(like the cafeteria)

Oh, Laura did an outstanding job singing the National Anthem! It was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes!

I pray all of you are walking strong with the Lord.
I hope you are making time to sit at His feet and allow His love,joy,peace,and wisdom to infiltrate your soul.

When is the last time you asked your child/children what they wanted you to be?

This morning Emily and I were talking about what school she would be at next year. We have been contemplating sending her to the private school Laura goes to.
Well, she said she only wanted to go there if I was going to be a cafeteria lady! Matter of fact that's what she really wanted me to be anyway!

So she pleaded for me to start being a cafeteria lady at her school she is at now.

I just said we will see what the Lord has in store.....


I wonder what John and Laura would say?

Something sooo cool and amazing!!! Laura is singing the National Anthem tonight for a police cadet graduation! YEA! I am so excited! She has such a beautiful voice!! Please pray for great strength in her voice and for the full confidence of the Lord to be with her!

Thank you Jenny Bizaillion for your remarkable friendship! You are an absolute treasure to me. I am so thankful for God's divine appointment for you and I. It is a joy to see the sparkle of love and adoration for our King in your eyes and heart! What a gift for others to enjoy the way your life has been surrendered in sweet submission to God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit!

Your sweet family is a testimony to what I believe...your words breathe life into everyone you are in contact with!

I love you sweet friend!
