My Gracie Lost her TOOTHY :(

She is growing up...Hannah did the same thing at 4...I didn't think Grace would be like Hannah in that way but oh well...She was eating corn at meme's and swallowed it poor baby :( LOL HEHEHEHE but this is the end result enjoy the cute pic of my toothless princess :)

also took a cute pic of hayden :)

GOD OF WONDERS

WOW, GOD IS AMAZING!!!!!
The girls are with their meme right now and Hayden is asleep...So i decided to sit on my cleaned off porch and read some of my books and have some time with JESUS!

I walked out to Badger our Horse and Looked up in the sky and Began to sing "God of Wonders" to the Lord! I began to praise him!!!! WOW!!! What a great experience!!!!

the clouds and sunshine and storm in the distance blowing up dust and the wind! I closed my eyes and could hear the birds, crickets almost praising my God...I saw the insects with wings waving their wings in adoration...Badger Even seemed to be bowing his head in Honor to our Lord! The Trees Swaying back and Forth to in Exaltation to Our Holy Father! i began to actually feel the world around me singing "God of Wonders"

Ya know sometimes God just wants our praise...even if the world seems crazy around us...It becomes so much more calm and full of peace when we stop and just praise Him for no reason just because He is wonderful and mighty...Glorious...

So many times we try to justify why it is okay to live how ever we want....Well after my experience today! I wanna live holy for GOD....I am nothing but a speck of dust in this great world He created but MAN OH MAN!!!! I feel i am in debt to such a saviour to such a GOD!

I Choose to live Holy today and I choose to bless His name...In the storms and In the Sun!


I don't even Deserve to Praise Him! That is How Awesome and wonderful to me He is!

I hope you all take the time to breath Him in Today as I have!

God Bless you

Once upon a time there was a date

AHHH got to go on a date with Shane last night! SOOOO GOOD!!!! I love him :)

we went and saw the love guru LOL soooo funny then went to bone fish grill!! YUMMY :)

it was so nice just to be ALONE with him for a change and I was so proud..He didn't get on his blackberry too check his work! :)

I love my Cutie Pie Husband! Can't wait for another Date with Him!

this week so far

So, I read through Hannah and Gracie's baby books and Gracie weighed the same at 2 months as Hayden is weighing at almost 2 months so I feel so much better about him now :)

Went to see baby Noble yesterday, but he was under the lamps...say a prayer for him...he has jaundice :( we didn't get to see him but Josh and Regan look really good considering all Regan has been through...I just love them to pieces!

Campmeeting well has been campmeeting...I am proud of our heritage but hope that the denomination will become more open minded to other ways of doing worship and reaching the lost...Someone told me last night that they thought some churches were TOO comfortable in the way they did church and basically God wasn't in "that" kind of worship...I just didn't say a word b/c it is a battle i wouldn't win, but i was thinking "i am sure the pharisees told the same thing to Jesus when he preached to thousands on the hill side in common clothes or to the crazy John the Baptist who dressed in animal skins and had church at the river HEHEHE:) LOL He would have so been turned out of church (not RPC) LOL
But I believe that My grandfathers and grandmothers who started this awesome stuff up in N.C. had a vision to see the lost saved and the world changed for His glory and not their glory...I just feel that somewhere along the way the organization has lost the fire and vision that those great men and women had back then...I pray it returns soo b/c if not i believe we are a part of a dying organization that will not be around for my children to see! I believe if the old would accept and embrace new way of doing things and the new would embrace the heritage that we could seriously pound satan! but until then i am going to keep on keeping on and so is my hubby for the cause of Christ!

other than all that I have lost 10 lbs since june 1st! I know i know not a lot but that gives me only 20lbs to go to my pre prego weight; then i have to work off what i gained b4 the pregnancy another 10 t0 15 lbs but I can do all things through christ who give me strength....

wanna shout out to Kristy! Love ya girl hope you are having an awesome week!

and Caley you rock and God is in Control :) Trust Him and no one else

Tammy, Girl God knows where you are and His hand is on you and your children! :) we love you Honey :)


Well hayden is screamung AHHHHHH so i am getting off this thing...

Talk at you later

Just concerned

Hayden has a visit to the doctor next week....I weighed him with me yesterday and He was 13 lbs OMG is that even right?!?! he is 7 weeks old today and That seems soo heavy...He was 12 lbs at 1 month so 1 lb is that horrible right?!?! not sure! he eats 6 oz at each feeding LOL and usually about 3 to 4 hours pass between each one! 

anyway i looking forward to making sure my baby isn't obese LOL.....

so that is my concern for today! :) so trivial i know I know!

Well off to do  my eliptical, clean house, laundry, while baby boy is taking a nap and the girls are watching a movie!

better jet!

hope all the readers have a blessed and joyous day in the Lord today!

PEACE

BABY NOBLE

My girlfriend from church is having her baby today! AKA Haydens Best buddy :)
I am in thoughtful prayer for my friend and all she is facing today! May God's Hand be upon her and Baby Noble and may his dad not faint LOL!

Can't wait to see NOBLE tomorrow :)

I will post a pic!

Vision

Church was so awesome today! we are currently doing the "one" series that a ton of other churches are also doing! Pastor Steven Furtick preached by video today and really blessed our whole church with his message on being audacious!!! We had a great crowd and tons of visitors 20 i believe :) YAY! God is really in controll! Not us!! thank goodness b/c we would have had to close the doors before they opened if it was up to us~ because we are failures, losers, but God in us is amazing and for that i am proud!
Shane really poured his heart out to everyone today...I love how real he is up in front of the church... What u see up there is him 100%... i can say this b/c i am his wife and see him at his weakest and strongest..he may change his style from time to time but that is just outside crap LOL the heart and the man is totally honest!.... He is full of passion and the vision that God gave might not make everyone happy, but if we were making everyone happy than we would be just like everyone else~Shane's heart burns with a fire to see the vision God has given us come forth and birth a slew of people coming to Christ! That is what it is all about!

See, the vision isn't about boards, commitees, dinners (as pastor furtick said) and making the "Church" people happy, but it is about the LOST....If we try and make it all about us then we have lost the vision! Shane and I have tried to make RPC about the vision...sometime distracted by others or stuff going on life as we might call it...we have shaken ourselves to what started the fire in shane at the beginning to bring us to the truth of what we started this church for in the first place..God brought us here through a series of circumstance that He alone allowed gave shane a burning vision and said do it....we have been audacious and taken risks in every way....My prayer for us as a couple and as a church is to continue to be audacious to continue our journey for christ to see lost come to him b/c he is coming ready or not!

Hannah Is A Rock Star

Went to take Hannah for her Color in her hair today! My Hannah loves to get strikes of color every summer...this year she wanted pink! She is our little punk rocker! LOL

God is Amazing!

I have had a hard couple of weeks to hit me and I had come to a place of feeling all alone, abandoned, bitter, resentful, angry, and hopeless...I almost felt as though i couldn't breath like the very air was taken from me!
i am sure none of you have EVER felt these thing LOL we are all Human and feel this way from time to time RIGHT:) Even us Crazy LOL pastor's wives HEHEHEHE
...I have felt way down and discouraged, but God has brought some pretty amazing ladies in my life the past few weeks...just hanging out talking about God and his goodness has been great...Not having to ever go into detail with how or why i felt down these Godly women have brought encouragement to my life and Godly wisdom and I just want to Give them a shout out!
i just want to give a big shout out to Kristy! thanks girl :) you rock!

God is Good and Just like one awesome girl told me "sometimes we find God in the Earthquakes, and in the fires but sometimes we find him in a whisper and silence"

It is my time to be silent and listen! It is time to breath the very breath of God!

God is truly amazing and I am humbled by the Love he Has for me! WOW! that i am special so special to him that he would send people into my life that i haven't even ever met before and that they would speak encouragement into me :) wow!!! GOD ROCKS RIGHT!!!!
