What a Blessing!

Hi all, just have a few to talk but just wanted to ask that you pray for my daddy he is facing some health problems and there are spiritual needs there as well. I am not sure where he stands with the Lord. Please help me to pray about this I would appreciate it. I had my daddy on my heart and the thought of something happening to him is such a weight on my heart. It would break my heart.

I have grown weary and tired with the stress of my sisters ordeal and sometimes I just want to cry. Jesse has started something new on Wednesday night instead of asking for physical needs during pray time he is asking us to pray for spiritual needs (great idea dear). I always ask for my sister and my other family but last night when I prayed I feel like my burden for the lost has become stronger than it has been in a while and I wept for my father and my sister because not knowing where they are with the Lord hurts my heart so bad.

Anywho, the Lord helped my heart once again! Jesse was preaching a powerful message about laws and Pharisees and as he was closing the message I started to close my Bible and the pages turned and landed on this passage:

Isaiah 40:28-31 (King James Version)
28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


Oh it was such a blessing to me (the Lord has never revealed Himself to me in this way before) and I have been thinking of it all day it has helped me to live in that sunshine again. THANK YOU LORD!

My Birthday!

So it was my birthday yesterday and I promise this is not an all about me post. I just wanted to say thank you to all of my wonderful friends and family for all of the love and gifts. I told Jesse last night that I am really blessed to have such special people in my life. I love birthday phone calls and text messages they make me soooo happy. I may be a big dork but I think birthdays are really special and important, maybe it is because my momma and daddy were always so good about making them special (they still do). I am also blessed with Jesse's family, who also makes birthdays special. My little grandmother still calls me every year to tell me happy birthday and Lindsey called me from the potty to sing to me (i loved it). Mallory and Makenna also sang to me (loved it). Then there were the cupcakes that the sweet girl in class made me from scratch how awesome is that. Then my sweet Maddie made me cupcakes for work tonight! I love cupcakes.

I got to spend all day with the love of my life and we had sooooo much fun! We ate PF Changs and then we shopped (bought one thing how sad is that). We watched a movie last night and then I slept late. I awoke to a wonderful breakfast in bed. My hubby is the best! Thank you all for making me feel special!

Revive Me Again Oh Lord!

First of all sorry the zoo pictures are still in the works. They will be on here one of these years I promise. Anywho, revival is awesome this week Brother Rick is doing an amazing job and I feel like the Lord is working in our little church. I know that He is working in my heart, on Tuesday night he preached about how to be a help to the church and supporting the church and loving the church and tonight he preached on getting out of traditions and going with God no matter what it takes you out of. He also touched on the subject of having a burden for the lost souls around us. It breaks my heart to think that I do not weep for lost souls like I have in the past. Members of my family are lost and I cannot find the time to get on my face and plead on their behalf. I needed the message tonight if no one else did. It worked on my heart and made me realize that the things that he talked about were about me. I am the one who does not take the time to share God's Word like I should. I am ashamed of myself and it breaks my heart to think that I would be so hard. I have no excuse I am blood bought and would never deny my Lord but I get discouraged when I feel like we pray and pray for the salvation of some people and their life's still spiral out of control in front of us. I have been living in this discouraged state for a while and the message tonight encouraged me to get out of that rut and pray and weep and call on God again for those that I love and are lost. Please help me pray!
Also as all, or most, of you know I am a worrier. My knew motto is, wait for it, wait for it, to live in the sunshine everyday! I pray this everyday and ask that you help me pray about this too. I think that it is working, I have been striving to live in the moment and not worry about what God has already taken care of, which is everything, why should I try to help.
I am so excited about tomorrow night and the meeting. I am really looking forward to the message and hearing the youth choir from Calvary come and sing. Please pray for us and our Church.

PS Mallory and Kenna you guys did an awesome job tonight!
