Faith Fest 2012

 Faith Fest was designed to keep our children off the streets on Halloween and provide a safe/fun environment for families. Most children innocently view Halloween as an opportunity to score insane amounts of candy... FOR FREE! The unfortunate truth is that Halloween is not just dressing up as your favorite character and getting candy, but yet another opportunity for the world to corrupt our children with blood, gore, witches, vampires and zombies! We can never be too careful about what or who we expose our children to. Halloween is definitely one experience I'm ok with my kids not having because they surely aren't missing out on anything :) I think we took Corban out one time and all 3 of us were a nervous wreck! I thank God for the people at Faith Tabernacle that were mindful enough of these things to bind together and form an event that is completely centered around God and family!

As I've stated in past blogs, outreach is a huge part of my life, my family and Faith Tabernacle! We hosted our annual Faith Fest for our neighborhood last night and it was a major success! With our All*Stars Children's Department coordinating the event, each department of FTC is offered the opportunity to manage a booth as a fundraiser for their department. Faith Fest is a growing outreach that can not be accomplished with only a few so we encouraged everyone at FTC to volunteer by organizing a game, chaperoning a moon walk, driving a hay ride or entertaining a cake walk! With our amazing staff and saints at Faith Tabernacle each year the event gets better. This year we were blessed by Rockdale Fire Department bringing a Fire Truck and letting all the kids explore!










The result of Sunday's outreach proved successful as we watched around 300 people enjoy the festivities throughout the night! We are blessed and growing at Faith Tabernacle, we sincerely strive to make everyone feel like someone special!

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...
