Wow it's been awhile...

It has been awhile since I have last posted anything. Boy has God been dealing with me about it. We have been busy doing so many things, and God is always bringing me back to a place of humility. Let me start by giving you an update on how things are going. God is always moving! Our beautiful boys are growing so fast and continue to amaze me everyday. Gavin is doing good in school and Garrett loves to go to his friends everyday. He gets mad if Gavin is at school and he is not!! Hopefully that will last. They both are in Gymnastics and are loving that. Ministry has taken so many turns that I think I get dissy sometimes. This year so many new things are beginning. We are starting a Young adults ministry with in our church, which is really needed, and Praise and Worship is growing. I would have to say that, that is one of my favorite to serve in.

I think about praise and worship. I meditate on it, and I think that it is sewn into the depths of me inner most part. I have learned very quickly that the answer to any of life's problems, can be found in worship. I think that most people have a misconception to worship. "Let me sing a few songs, and that is all that God needs from me, for me to get what I need." That is the furthest thing from the truth. WORSHIP IS A LIFESTYLE!! I don't think that I can say it enough. As we walk though our day we should worship our Heavenly Father in everything we do. If we have that attitude then we will see everything through Christ's eyes. Worship is not just telling God how wonderful he is, but walking in it, with him as well. My brother-in-law said it best, that we need to "Make love to God." Let me explain, when we take the time to spend with God and truly go to him with a pure heart we are being intimate with him. Intimacy is the key. If as a wife I am not intimate with my husband than our relationship is not complete. The connection is not there. Intimacy is not just a physical thing, but also a mental emotional and a spiritual connection as well. That is what God needs from us. He wants our minds to be his mind, our emotions to rest in his heart, and our spirit to feed on his words. If we get to that intimate place with God, then we will find all the answers to our questions and more, and we will become a complete person in Christ.

I hope that you are able to meditate and get to that place today and everyday, so you can be a complete person in Christ!
