I've been a little down today. I've been in one of those moods where it just felt like noone cared. But as I was praying tonight with the kids, I could hardly get the words out to pray. My heart is just so heavy and all I wanted to do was cry. I really don't know what is the matter. Did you ever get those days where you just felt like you were all alone in this world and no matter what you did to please everyone they still treated you like you were nothing. I get so tired sometimes. I feel like I'm always pleasing everyone else and then they step on me and act like I'm not even there. The more I do, the worse I get treated. It hurts. I was reading the Bible after prayer and I read
1 Chronicles 16:8-12

8. Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
11. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.
12. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth.

After I read this, I know that the Lord is there even when I feel like this. I just need to seek him and call upon His name and He will give me strength. I really need his strength right now. The devil is fighting me hard. I feel like I'm getting closer to the Lord and the devil don't like it at all. Please remember me and my family in your prayers. Thanks

We're back

Well we're back from visiting churches. It's been a long, but fun weekend. We went down to Decatur and met some of our friends that live down that way and went golfing with them. We usually have ALOT of fun golfing, but this was not a great golfing experience. The people at the golf course treated us horribly. We were just taking our time and enjoying the day. When people would come up behind us, we would let them play through because we had a couple of newbies playing. And someone called and complained on us that we were slowing everyone down and one of the "Guys in charge" come out and "Made" us wait until about 3 or 4 groups played through in front of us and we had already let 6 groups go in front of us already. He was very rude. Anyway, we won't be going back to that golf course. Way to richy for us. It was a public golf course in a State Park in Decatur, but they acted like a Country Club. It was not a great experience. But we all still had a good time with each other. Thank the Lord for the beautiful weather. The day was gorgeous Saturday. It was 83 degrees, but not steaming hot.

The church services went really good on Sunday. We went to the Somerville church this morning. God was there in such a mighty way this morning. We could feel his Spirit so strongly. It is so wonderful to know that no matter where you go in TCOG, you can still feel the love from people and feel the same Spirit that you feel at your local church. Well I hope you all had a great weekend. I'm going to bed. I'm surviving on about 7 hours of sleep for the whole weekend. Love you all. God bless.

2 in a row! Yeah me!!!

Hello again! Wow 2 posts in a row. I think I'm doing good. Today hasn't been a very good day. I've been sick most of the day. I've been having dizzy spells and I've been really nauseated (sp?). But I'm feeling better now. Someone got a prayer through. Thank the Lord. I'm still a little dizzy but I feel much better than I did earlier today.

I forgot to tell you all that my sweet husband went into the store after church on Sunday night to buy dog food and when he came out he had bought me a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers. They are so pretty. They are still alive and as pretty as they were Sunday. Here's a pic.

Aren't they pretty. I guess Couple's Retreat is still working on him. He is still being very sweet. And he's been opening the door for me everytime we get in the car. That is too cool. I'm sorry if I'm old fashioned but that makes a girl feel pretty special.

Well the kids are doing pretty good. They are doing well in school. Dalton is really doing good in reading. He's starting to enjoy it too. He used to hate it and I had such a hard time trying to get him to read. But Hooked on Phonics is great for children that are having a hard time. He's been doing it all year and it is helping him a lot.

Madison was going around the house today singing "When we all get to heaben, what a day of joycing that will end, when we all see Jejus." I love to hear her singing songs from the blue book and most of the time she gets the words wrong and Dalton tries to correct her and he gets the words wrong. It's funny! The other day they were playing the playstation and they won the game and in this particular game when you win. it says across the screen VICTORY! And they both started singing "Victory in Jesus, my Saviour forever!" They are completely nuts.

Well this will probably be it for blogging until next week. We are leaving Saturday to go spend the day with some friends down near Decatur and then we are visiting Somerville and West Lawrence churches on Sunday for our VLB boost. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hey everyone!

Hey you guys! I will try to post again. I have tried for the last week and something is wrong with my blogger. Ladies Day was Awesome! Sis. Tammy did a great job! I really enjoyed Sis. Smith's class and Sis. Bishop's message. I was kind of worried some of the day. Will took our kids fishing on a boat for the first time ever. So I was a little scared some of the day, because I was worried about them. But they survived and they had a lot of fun.Thank the Lord for a wonderful day. One of the Ladies at Bessemer almost got the Holy Ghost. She was so close. A lot of us were disappointed that she didn’t get it. But God is an On Time God and I told her he would give it to her right on time. She feels like she’s been sanctified, but she’s not sure what to feel cause she was raised Baptist. Please pray for her that she will understand what she has received and pray that she will understand more about the Holy Ghost.
Okay I’m going to go for now. I will try to post the pics, hopefully they will post now. Love you all.

Couple's Retreat

I want to apologize to everyone (especially Becky) about me being a sorry blogger. I know I'm a loser (ha ha). Then I get on here to blog and I have to do this crazy update thing (which is ridiculous). Anyway, I'm back, hopefully. We just got back from an Amazing Couples Retreat in Pigeon Forge, TN. Bro. and Sis. Horton from TCOG Lynchburg, VA were the directors. They did an amazing job.
Every speaker that they asked to come was anointed. We went there expecting some amazing services and we came back with even more than we expected. We had things affecting our marriage that we didn't even know were there and God woke us up this weekend. I thank God for giving these people the right things to say. They really followed the leading of the Lord.
Our marriage was strengthened this weekend. There was a message and interpretation given out, and the Holy Ghost told us that this is where it started (in our marriages). If we become one and have unity start in our homes then we will see revival start in the church. I believe this with my whole heart. My children have already seen a change in us since we've been home. My 8 year old son, said "mom, I'm glad you went to couple's retreat and I hope you go again next year." I know if they can see a difference there's a difference. Thank the Lord for a wonderful retreat. And also for allowing me and Will to get away "together", by ourselves for the first time in 8 years. It was so good to spend one on one time with him. I feel like I've fallen in love with him all over again. I have found a deeper respect for my husband this last weekend. I could go on and on. But thank the Lord for his changing power. If I can change anyone can.
