I DON'T When do I clean my room? I DON'T When do I sleep? I DON'T!!! Am I stressed? YES!!!! But I know God has a plan, I'm doing this all for him. I think that's really what is getting me down. I putting all this time into making money so I can be here, but I'm not really here...I'm always working:( I've been working on this battered women shelter ministry for a month now. We finally settled things and are started a 4 week session every Tuesday night....I work every Tuesday night:( So, needless to say I'm pretty devastated . Lord, ...

So, I'm about to address the 600lb purple ape in the room that no one likes to talk about! LUST & ADDICTION TO PORNO I have met very few men in my life who have not at one point in time been addicted to pornography. Men are drawn by visuals. It's a proven fact. So, many times when you hear that a man was looking at porno you think nothing of it. That is his human nature. But did you know that 40% percent of the porno watched online is actually viewed by woman. NEWS FLASH {WOMAN DEAL WITH LUST TOO} The difference is we never talk about it becuase one, we figure no other woman deals with, second, it's not common, and third, people are going to think we are crazy. Especially as a christian woman, but fact is, YOU'RE NOT ALONE. We just aren't open about it. I'm one of these woman. Since I can remember I've delt with it. Without going into much detail I just want to show you it's not uncommon. Because I always thought it was. I thought I was some kind ...

...even if it is the last one! haha:D (Which by the way is NOT biblical) Anyway, I'm super excited about this upcoming year. I have so much going for me. God is working in my life! I got a job, a very good job! I will be an aid to disabled people. I don't have many details yet, but I'm sure ya'll will hear about it:) ~It's good hours, and good pay~ I'm excited about school. I was worried about paying for it, but God once again made a way! He continually does, and I still worry every time I'm in rough spot. I'm not sure why I do that. It's never even a rough spot. It's more like a hill in front of me and I can't see past it, but God is always waiting at the top to help me over...ALWAYS! I'm excited about what God has in store as well. I'm sure whatever it is, it is going to be magnificent and I want to be apart of it! I was once told that just because your technically not a minister yet does not mean you should not have a ministry alre...

Its the week after Christmas and I'm full of stories! This has truly been one the best Christmas ' ever. God is really working in my family's life. Like any family we are not perfect by any means. I've stated before my intermediate family is not really in church any longer, but I can honestly say they still love God. They have a funny way of showing it, but nevertheless I'm still convinced they do. Especially after this Christmas. Saturday my Grandma took us older grandchildren shopping, my two sisters my cousin Megan and I. On this little trip my cousin opened up about how hard life is now. See, she recently moved out and is living a life she knows she shouldn't be and now she is starting to regret some decisions and is wanting to make something of her life, which got us on a great conversation about how bringing God back in her life would help that and I really think it gave her hope! Christmas was Sunday. The Tuesday after we had a family dinner, every...

So a couple weeks ago I was asked if I wanted to go on an all expense paid, home missions trip to Colorado! Sounds intriguing, right? ....So, I said yes! The week before I was dreading it. Going to Colorado sounded like fun, but going with the people that was going...not so much! But I think it was God's will for me to go because I tried making other plans and they fell through. So, here I am in Greeley, Colorado! We came in Wednesday night really late and the family was automatically warm and welcoming, which made me feel more comfortable. Thursday night church was scheduled. I was teaching Sunday school. We did puppets and taught our lesson on "God is Bigger"! Friday we helped set up for their daughters graduation and that night we had another service! Johnnie preached on "We are people of the Name" ....Good stuff! Saturday we helped with the graduation, which wasn't a big deal at all, but they were so grateful. That night they found out I could sing and p...

In a Society Captured By Sin and the Plessure Within I Found Myself Captured By the Same Running After a Life of Wealth and Fame This World had so Much to Offer I Could Go to USF and Become a Doctor Or Mizzou and Be A Lawyer or Writer I Could go to Some Tech School and Fix Computers Or a Beauty School and be a Hair Doer And as Great as this All May Seem Making Good Money and Living the Dream I Soon Realized....This World Really Didn't Have Much to Offer I Could Find Way More at the Altar See this Never Really was My Dream God had Other Plans for Me Since I was Small I was Captured by a Call A Call to do Great Things A Call to Ministry But I Ran and Hid Lord, You Don't Want this Kid I'm nothing special My Family isn't in church I've Got backage and Hurt I'm Broken and Bruised I can't be used But John 14:12 says; "The Things That I do You Shall Do Also, Even Greater" And Who Am I to Doubt the Creator He Said He Would Make a Way And Only by is Mercy a...

Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Ain't No Valley Low Enough to Keep Me from Jesus! I was asked to preach Dec. 4th and teach a class November 16th so I thought I'd share a little bit about what I will be speaking on..... Psalms 23:4 Yay though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil for thou art with me... Psalms 27:1,6 The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? The Lord is my strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid.... ...Therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea I will sing praises unto the Lord! It's not always going to be easy, sometimes it'll be a sacrifice, but no matter how high the mountain or how low the valley, worship God with your all! Why ? 1. Because of His promises Phil. 4:13 - you can do all things through Christ Romans 8:39 - nothing can separate us from the love of God Isaiah 54:17 - no weapon formed against you shall prosper Psalms 91:11 - gave His angels cha...
