A NEW Look For A NEW Me

So, I was recently blogging only about my boys but about 6 months ago My husband & I started to transition into a new chapter of our life! I thought how awesome would it be if I used my blog to not only share my boys with you, but share my entire life which is very fast paced (thank goodness for mobile blogger)!! I will be continuously updating as I'm in the building stages of this new blog page. I hope I can have many followers & reach your heart with my words. 





Last year was a crazy whirlwind in my life. My 4 year old started pre k & a month later we had a new baby boy... Logan who proves to be more & more like his daddy (hyper) every day! Then in November my husband who was serving as the District Youth Secretary & Pastoral Assistant to his Grandfather at Faith Tabernacle United Pentecostal Church, told me we would be voted on as Pastor of the church! My husbands grandfather (Dr. J.A. Patterson) began Faith Tabernacle Church in Conyers 31 years ago so you can imagine the great honor we felt & the immense sentiment it held to the Patterson family.



On January 1, 2012 the transition was announced to the church & I will never forget the message my husband preached "The Year Of Jubilee". The official votes were cast on Wednesday February 1, 2012 with a 99% approval! Since that night our schedules have been padded with daily meetings, visitations, luncheons, services, bible studies etc. I can say that it was all I thought & more, there is nothing I would rather do than be at my husbands side & serve the city of Conyers.



On March 4, 2012 the Mantle was passed from Dr. J.A. Patterson to Pastor M.A. Patterson. So, this is the beginning of my new life & I hope you enjoy it as much as I am!

Fathomless Billows Of Love

On this day 12 years ago I lost my brother. I remember the sound of the voice on the other side of the phone telling us to come to the hospital. I remember being cold. I remember the sounds of the chaos around me. I remember the chair I sat in as I watched my mom try to be strong. I remember so many little details but mainly I remember the giant hole it left in my heart! Nothing can ever separate us from [God's]  love . ... I remember singing  Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above! Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray In fathomless billows of love! What does "Fathomless billows of love" even mean Fathomless means  something that can't be understood; a  billow  is like a cloud swelling because of a sudden surge. So...... as many times as I questioned God's presence, his love never failed. It comes in waves and blows into my soul in a way that I can't understand. It soothes just when I can't handle another blow. It embraces me when...

To Be A Pillar

It's easy to be weak but it's hard to be strong! What do you want your life to say about you? "The wise woman builds not only for herself but for those who follow along behind her." -Joy Haney You have to confidently know that God will fulfill every promise he has every made to you & trust that it will happen in his timing. It's when we get impatient and want it our way that we become weak and fall short. God has called each of us to be a servant in his kingdom and sometimes we get caught up and forget its not about me or you! Its always about the kingdom, you can't serve people and bring them to the kingdom without being a people person or without being about His business! If the world can't see Jesus in you and through you why would they want it? Sometimes by being still and silent you are standing tall & speaking loud! It is ignorant and careless to share every thought and opinion that we have. Think before you speak, blog, tweet or text!!...

The Young Minister's Wife, So Harshly Judged

A life lesson I had to learn the hard way was: IT'S OK TO SAY "NO" I am not backslid or a stuck up snob if I can't attend every Ladies Meeting and Youth Event in Georgia. At the stage of life I'm in, I have 2 small boys who need and deserve the majority of my time. Not to mention I am a Pastor's Wife/Music Director. They always come first and that sometimes means I have to decline an invitation.  It's unfortunate that it is said "She uses her kids as a crutch" or "She isn't in the altar praying for everyone, she's just in the back socializing" If you could really understand what a Ministers Wife with small children truly has to conquer in order to just be at an event we would give them gold stars and nothing but praise every chance we get.  I don't think we should walk on egg shells or take on more than we can handle because we are afraid of what everyone else thinks about us sitting with our children instea...
