Here is our Christmas Eve service from Ocean View Baptist, our church 
I hope you enjoy this powerful service!
In my line of work (Private Wealth Management)… I help to manage large amounts of money for clients.
This is how my work world runs:
Wealthy people = fast/perfect service
(this is true in most cases)
I am not a wealthy person (money wealthy)…. however, I do expect greatness. Whenever Customer Service comes into play, I expect to be treated like I’m the only person in the world-this is called 1st class Customer Service. Aaron (my husband) thinks that I’m arrogant to expect this type of service. I don’t agree. As long as you go about it the correct way… be nice, to the point and confident about what is expected, you should receive such service. That’s what Jesus did, right? He was nice, to the point and confident.
So I ask…
What about at church?
What about with God?
Doesn’t God expect perfect service?
He sure does.
Let’s clarify perfect for a minute… Perfect is God!
Perfect: Are you setting the Godly example? Are you saying the Godly things?
Are you setting and saying those perfect things all the time? Well maybe you should strive for that!
God, show us how to provide perfect, Godly customer service… show us that You are the reason we are provided any and all opportunities. Lord, teach us.
Amen.
Abigail wakes up (in the morning) pretty happy! So the other day- she gets up, gets dressed, gets her hair “did” and eats her breakfast; and as I’m going out the door for work, she says ” I need to go to church.”
So honest and spirit filled!
There’s your quote of the day: “I need to go to church” !!!

PRAY!
and pray hard… that God leads you where HE wants you.
Don’t listen to negativity, drama & anything else that will shift your focus from Him!
“….we lift your name up, we lift your name up!”
Pictures below of family fun… church… ENJOY!
Parents plan for their child’s birthday for weeks and it’s all over in a matter of hours! Aaron and I began telling Abigail, about a week in advance, that is was going to be her birthday soon. Finally, two days before her birthday, we had her excited about (of all things)…..cake!
So this past Sunday morning, our hard work paid off. The first thing she said to me when she woke up was, “Abbi want to eat the cake.” I laughed at my 2 year old and her perfect memory
Thank you to all of our family and friends that helped to make Abigail’s birthday such a wonderful day! We are now underwater in tea cup sets! (just kidding-our Abigail is crazy about tea parties)
Thanks again to all !!! Enjoy the pics!
This morning I looked out my kitchen window while rinsing out Leigh-Leigh’s bottle and thought, I am so happy. My babies are healthy and my husband is a strong man of God. I am so happy. Someone once told me, “don’t let the bad situations in life steal your joy.”
EnJOY!
If you know Levi, the title of this blog is all you need to read!
Levi is one of the kids in my husband’s/our church’s Youth Group.
Aaron and I have watched this kid grow into a man of God. So last night the Youth shared their testimonies with our church congregation at our Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting. Every word was important . Stories of lessons learned, prayers needed and our Youth teaching, learning and growing in Christ. Then comes Levi-let me just say-
DUDE BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN!
… my baby was preaching! I have tears in my eyes just blogging about it! And you can be sure I had a big goofy grin on my face when he was preaching to the congregation-on a WEDNESDAY night! Those people went away CHURCHED UP! UmmmmHmmmm! Go ‘head now!
He said “don’t think things are gonna come your way if you are sitting here on your butt”…”we need to get out into our community, this is a mission.” O! & by the way… God has called him into missions- near, far or otherwise, Levi is ready to go. He’s ready to lead people to the Living Water. He’s right, this IS a mission. This life, this job, this co-worker, this fellow church-go-er, this friend, THIS!
Find God and find His mission in your life!
My husband gave me the sweetest compliment the other day…he said “your freckels are cute.”
Thanks Babe, you gave me butterflies!
I love you.
