My Other Half

Almost 10 years ago, I met this handsome man. Now, he didn't quite look like this on the outside but I will tell you he caught my eye none the less. His blonde dreadlocks, patchwork pants, and bare feet self was sitting on the back row of my church one Sunday I came home to visit from college. Let me tell you, not my typical guy. But, here we are today....married with 3 kids. We'll celebrate our 9th anniversary in a few weeks. It's been a journey, but one that I would take all over again.

Not Me! Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by http://www.mycharmingkids.net/. You can head over to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.



I totally did not try to come up with something to put on this post that I didn't do. I remember what happened last week. I have my head on straight and always remember everything that I don't do! Ahem.



With that, I will have to write down everything I do or should I say not do this week. I just had to play along because I am still very excited about my blog!!!!

The Burning

In just 6 days, we will be hosting The Burning (www.myspace.com/theburning21days). My husband, Greg, was given the desire to put together a citywide/countywide fast that would last for 21 days and end with a 8 hour worship and prayer event. The fast started February 1st and of course ends the 21st. During the 21 days a prayer guideline was given to help everyone focus and pray on specific areas in our city and county. Several churches have committed and everyone is super excited about all that is happening.WOW! To think that our community is coming together to pray and fast for a Godly change to happen is just mind blowing!! We have witnessed a move of God already in so many lives. We've seen at least 20 people give their lives to the Lord, several healed, and others just grow in an intense love of the Him! HE is WORTHY!!

So the main event which has been called The Burning will be held next Saturday the 21st from 10am to 6pm at Church on the Rise. We will be fasting, worshiping, and praying for 8 hours as a corporate body!!! WhooHoo!There will be 4 worship bands that will play 2 hours sessions with prayer times focused on government, leadership in churches, youth, evangelism, authority over the city, racism, and glorifying God. All these topics will be expanded and prayed about by several people.

We would love all our local believers to please come join us. We would love to have you and help us declare our county and city belong to God! If you are not local, please help us pray and we would thank you much!

Joel 2:12-13 "Yet even now", declares the Lord, "Return to Me with all your heart and with fasting, weeping, and mourning; and rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving kindness and relenting of evil.

Welcome to Seasons of Life

Okay, so here it is...finally....the blog I have always wanted! (Sigh).

So often I have wondered will I always have to change wet sheets every morning? Will I always have to help with 2 hours of homework every night? Will I always have to clean up dog pee and poo off my floor? Will I always have ugly green countertops in my kitchen and bathrooms? Will I always work at a preschool? Will I always just be a "good Christian"? Will I ever get to fulfill my calling and do missions? Do you ever wonder things like that?

A couple of years ago, I was wondering will I ever get him potty trained? Will I always be a stay at home mom? Will I ever find a church home? Will I ever be used of God? In a year, I will be wondering will I always have to help with 4 hours of homework? Will I always have to pull out loose teeth? Will I always be learning new truths about God?

The answer is yes to some and no to others.

My point is there is a season for everything. When one season ends another will start. I hope to strive everyday to be a mother, a wife, and a child of God with joy in the season I am in. It is hard work being those things! Through this blog I hope to inspire you, pray for you, and put a smile on your face.

Welcome to Seasons of Life.....I hope you come back!
