December Madness

I have neglected my blog this month due to the busy life I lead! So here it goes in a nut shell... I hosted my first Directors & Ministers Dinner for FTC as the First Lady and it was a huge success! We were able to connect with everyone and brainstorm new ideas for 2013! I was the main speaker for Faith Tabernacles 16th annual Ladies Christmas Tea. The theme was "No Room" and we focused on how often times in life we make room for everything but Jesus. That was a humbling and rewarding experience. Of course there was gobs of family time and lots of crazy wild shopping with my mother in law but I managed to remind my children who are only 5 and 1 of the importance and blessings of Christmas. My husband & I took our son to a local community center to pass out toys & food to needy families and it was so fulfilling to watch his little hands do what they could to contribute! We also allowed him to adopt angels from a homeless shelter and give them things they need like shoes & clothes.

I am beyond blessed! I have truly learned first hand this holiday season that it is more blessed to give than receive. Our Christmas program at church was directed by our Bishop and he called it "Tell Me The Story Of Jesus" it was a very special and truly unveiled the story! Now, my husband and I are at the Atlanta Youth Convention with 6 of our young guys. This is the way we've closed out every Christmas for as long as I can remember.... Church! There is no better way to live your life than living it for God!

Much Love & Many Blessings

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...
