Knowing what is ahead

It has been a very busy year for my family. I am glad to see it come to an end and another great year ahead. God has alot planned for me next year and I am ready to see what all he has in store for me and our new ministry. I am excited to say I know what His plans are but I still don't know what all will be in store. At the end of Jan. myself and possibly 7 other ladies from my church will be attending this Conference and we can't wait for it to get here. Some of us will also be staying through till Monday for the Surrendering The Secret Training Session.

OK for me you are talking about 4 days away from work, busyness and my family (which isn't a bad thing, every mom needs a break Right?), and being with some ladies I love, fellowshiping, worshipping and learning all together....... I am so ready I could just scream!
What I am really excited about is I am following God's call. He has been calling me to this ministry for over 2 years and I am so happy and excited to finally be doing what he told me long ago to do.
I would love to ask all of you to please be praying for our trip, the conference and our families we will leave here. God's will be done.........
and also here coming up soon I will be giving my testimony to our youth group which most of them I know and have entertained in my home. We are talking close to 100 teens here. I know God is calling me to do this but I am starting to get a little nervous.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my family and friends.

I love you and God Bless you!

The Reason for the Season

Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks..
And then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is
"Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did.
Not only does He know our name,
He knows our address too.
He knows our history and future and He
even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me
for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts,
repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.
May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and
your loved ones this Christmas 2008
And may He prosper and bless the work
of your hands in the New Year.

defeat for the undefeated....

My heart is sadden to tell you that we did not win the State Championship game. Our local paper puts the story well with this article. I am so proud of our team this year, but they are taking it pretty hard. It was one of the hardest nights ever to see my baby so heart broken. He wanted this so badly. It was a great season and I am very proud of him.

I am not sure if it lessened the heartbreak any but he did find out today that he made the First Team All District for Center. I am so very proud. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes.

On the Road to Victory!

Today I am a little emotional....... My baby, all 6 foot, 200lbs of him is on the road with his team to the State Championship.

I got him up early today to get ready and before his depature on the trip of a lifetime, I needed to have prayer with him. And as we bowed together and thanked God for this opportunity and prayed for protection, I couldn't help but get emotional. After prayer I told him to please be careful and have fun. This might not happen again next year.

It was a bittersweet moment for a mother's memory!!!!!

The rest of the school heads out in the morning along with 1000's of fans from East Texas.

These Boys are already champions in our eyes.
I will update when I can this weekend.... Please join us again in prayer for a victory!

prayers for a football player, again

I know I have been talking alot about football lately, but it is a big deal in our house and town right now. This week we are playing in the State Semi finals and we haven't been here in a long time, if ever. Two weeks ago I asked prayers for my son who injured his ankle in a game. He played this past weekend and did really good. It was hurting him but he played through the pain and had a good game.
This evening he came home from practice injured again. He hasn't been practicing hard just running drills. His ankle was braced and wrapped but he rolled it and it is hurting pretty bad.
When he walked in this evening I could see the pain and disappointment all over his face. My heart sank to my stomach. He doesn't know if he will get to play this Friday or not.
The coach put something like a make shift cast on it to help with healing and swelling.
Please Please Pray for us. He is heartbroken already not knowing what is going to happen, and wondering why it is happening now this close to state championship.
I feel awful for him. He wants a State Ring so bad he can taste it.
He needs a healing in his ankle and if not God's will for him to play then I pray for a victory.
If he doesn't get to play and they loose, it will crush him and he will blame himself.
Please keep him and the team in your prayers this week.
