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!”
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!

I don’t remember growing up with all this “stuff” that was mine. Possessions that don’t really further us in life, make us who we are or really tell the story of our lives (although they might be called “i” this and “i” that).
I told my story this past weekend. You know, my story… my testimony. The first thing you should share in the witnessing process? Or, so I’m told that’s the first thing you share. I’m not sure I agree. While having dinner with a friend this past Friday night, she said “what’s your story” ? So I began to babble on. It was then that I realized, I knew my story-but never shared it before. So let’s put this in perspective here… I’ve been an active Christian for about 6 years, but the first year & a half I was just going through the motions. You see, I think everyone “knew” I had all the answers to starting my walk with Jesus. I didn’t. When my husband was blessed with a Youth Pastor job @ Ocean View Baptist Church, I was still going through those same motions. What happened? Why did I get, should we say, missed? My answer: IDK ! (txt gargin for I don’t know) In churches today this happens a lot. Why do you think people come and go so quickly? Maybe cuz we didn’t take the time to see where they really were in their life with Christ. What their story was. Current followers of Jesus are so wrapped up in iChurch that they see the new people, involve them and move on to the next person. Is that what He wants? So…my personal opinion here, NO! This includes me, get off your hiney (as Abigail would say) …and make something happen-test the knowledge, challenge your fellow church go-er & lets make the churches of today grow with people full of knowledge & passion about our RISEN KING !

So I find myself starting this new phase in my life… blogging. Now I’m not one to poo-poo on the new and improved ways of communication. For example, if I left the house without my cell phone to go the grocery store, you better believe I’m turning around to go get it (it’s like I can’t breathe or something). BTW, if my mother-in-law is reading this, she’s busting a gut laughing ‘cuz the grocery store is literly 4 blocks from my door step! p.s. she lives in the middle of NOWHERE! so she can’t possibly understand! So here I sit typing up my first blog post… how do I describe it?…. It’s almost-should I say-addicting. I’m so excited to have started this and opened a new email account to boot ! AND my husband (Aaron) is so excited that I’ve entered “his” world of blogging and online expertise that he bought me a new mini laptop! It’s PINK ! Can you dig it ?
So here’s to me and my new endeavors & to those of you Mom’s out there who aspire to start something new and keep your sanity!
