General Interests
Bible study, teaching, speaking, reading, missions, evangelism, discipleship. I love to encourage women's groups with the truth and power of God, and enjoy writing the same type messages in articles and books. I'm getting over my chicken-ness about missions. Pray for me as the Lord continues to break me out of my box, and take me to foreign soil in ministry.
Music
casting crowns, the glory revealed cd, switchfoot, praise music, superchick, mercy me, hawk nelson, barlow girl, toby mac, kirk franklin, sara groves. Anything that allows you to really be inspired by the truth of the gospel, and give praise to God. Gospel, old hymns, country gospel, whatever. it's all about Jesus, so it all has good to it.
Books
Bible, John MacArthur, Charles Spurgeon, Charles Stanley, Andy Stanley, Beth Moore, Kay Arthur, Priscilla Shirer. Jeannie St. John Taylor has a great book, "Culture Proof Kids". I'm always reading something. I really am a Bible nut that loves to read the Bible, commentaries about the Bible, and non-fiction Christian living titles. Lately I've been reading a bit more fiction, and really love (along with every other reader on the earth) Francine River's Redeeming Love, along with her lineage of grace series. Dee Henderson and Donna Fleisher too. More on the shelf I can't wait to read.
Movies/TV
James Robison, Life Today, Fox News, Reba, king of queens, friends, idol, that 5th grader show, clean old movies, Chick flicks that make men cry, game shows, sermons on tv that make you really look into Scripture. When I'm really bored, (not often) I catch myself watching way too many home improvement shows - or animal/nature shows. With my pre-teen son I watch a lot of the following: Any Tom Clancy movie, Indiana Jones 1 and 3, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Star Wars, and other action movies. Not into yucky and horror stuff.

Happy Birthday

Celebrate The Miracle
Of all that makes you YOU.
Count a blessing for each candle
Have your cake and eat it too!
Unwrap this day and savor it
And all the love that's there
Send a dream-wish straight to
Heaven on the wings of prayer
Remember what a blessing you are
Even after this day is gone.
You're a gem, a priceless treasure
Let yourself shine on!

Hi there! Hope your day is glowing with the Sonshine of God's promises. May God's intentions be realized in your life today and every day here after.

God has made clear His purpose and goal for your life. Because He wants each of His children to understand and accept that His plan is to bring them into the full likeness of Jesus. He wants them to comprehend that He forgives their sins and wraps them in rich robes of righteousness. He wants them to practice being holy as He is holy. Holiness is not a thing beyond your reach it is a commitment to live exclusively for God, His glory, and His kingdom just as Jesus did. Depending not on your intellect, earthly clout, and charismatic charm; But upon God's promises and His Holy Spirit to accomplish the things God has called you to do. He wants you to practice being as Jesus is. He knows you will stumble and maybe often. But He knows above all your stumbling that He intends to bring His people into the fullness of all His promises. Courageously step into the river of God's Spirit, drinking deeply as you go; allowing rivers of living water to flow out of your heart. See John 7:38 So that the world around you is touch, lives changed and multitudes swept into the Kingdom of our God. This was not unique to the early church and the Apostles. This is YOUR assignment. God intends to bring you into the abundant life that He has always promised to His people. And at the same time use you as the vessel through which He changes the lives of others.

Sending love and big encouraging hugs your way!
