Shane I LOVE YOU

Ok so for the pukers out there you might not want to read this one LOL!

I love you so much and I am so proud to be your wife and to be the mother of your 3 beautiful children...
You are an amazing pastor to me, you are my dearest friend, and to say i am in love with you is not even coming close to the true and pure love that i feel!

I stand in awe at how God has moved in your life and how you have allowed him to do his will through you...How you trust him and lean on him b/c i am weak so many times and you have been a steady rock standing firm and strong in Gods Power and might!

You inspire me to be better, do better and live better...You encourage me to be strong, stand firm and trust God...You are a light to my life shining beautifully for the cause of Christ!

I believe in you, I believe in the GOd that lives in you and I believe the vision that our God has given you...I can see it just as you can, i can breathe it in and i can feel it...
I am on this boat with you through storms and peace I will be by your side! I will hold your hand, I will be your shoulder to cry on and I will always be the place to come and rest!

I am so thankful for a such a remarkable man as you! I will always and forever love you my sweet man!

May we continue to make Christ the Center of our lives!

good nite everyone

Had to share this devotion...LOVED IT!!! it trully made me think about hinderances in my life!

Belly-Button Hindrances


I have a good friend that is totally "hip". Really "with-it". All the things I am not.

Well, I have hips...substantial ones. And my "with-it"...sounds more like something I'd say after I had been to the dentist and returned with my mouth numb...

I asked her permission to share this story with you. When it happened...hmmm, let's just say---the LORD spoke to me through it.

Lisa was having trouble with her back. Her neck. Her shoulder. This was tough---especially since she is a faithful gym-goer. She had been having trouble with "strength" ---lifting the weights. So she made an appointment to see her Chiropractor.

As he began to examine her, and question her, he maneuvered her for a response to her reflexes, testing her resistance, and he noticed the weakness on one side. "Lisa", he said with a questioning tone, "do you have a belly-button ring?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do". She replied--she was, after all very "hip and with-it", and loved her belly-button ring.

"Do you mind taking it out?" Dr. Carnes needed to prove what he felt was the problem.

After she removed the metal, he began his testing all over. This time, her body reacted differently to each maneuver. She had strength. It was almost like you had removed the cryptonite from Superman's space and his strength returned.

With a puzzled expression, she wanted to know why it made a difference. His explanation made perfect sense. The metal, or foreign object was interrupting the energy flow of her body. Something was blocking her physical strength. But once the hindrance was removed...strength returned.

Do you see what I saw? The instant parallel of our strength in Christ vs. the hindrances of the world came racing to my mind.

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is." Romans 12:2 NLT

To her, and many others, the belly-button ring was attractive. A symbol. But to her body, it was a hindrance. Might not have been noticed before. May not have even "felt" the resistance before. But at this time in her life...the change of the energy flow was noticed. She is only a few years younger than I am, but in excellent physical condition. I on the other hand, well, if you know me...you know. I am a bookoholic instead of a gymoholic. It shows.

After she told me this, I immediately told her, "you know this will have to be a blog". I smiled, already hearing the Lord speaking to my heart. Because He knows me. He knows the things I have been neglecting so long they are now "hindrances" in my walk.

"Examine your life Angie. What is blocking your "energy flow". Are you full of My strength? You know from your past experience what happens when you try to conform to the world. In order to fit in you allow things to come between what I desire for you."

Well, you could have knocked me out of my rolling chair with a feather! In my past I know there have been many times that I wanted to be a part of the world that seemed to be fun---so much so, that my decisions were warped. Poor decisions made an impact in my life that was NOT pleasant. But I was thinking...surely not now. Why, surely I am right on track...But after thinking this over....I can find things that need to be removed from my heart and life to increase my energy flow.
I took a phone survey and even polled some random ladies with a simple question: What are some things that we allow to hinder our relationship with Christ:

TV (too much of it, and the type of programming---we are what we feed our minds);
Busyness and/or obsessive housework (as in the Martha Syndrome);
Excessive secular reading (neglecting the Bible);
Unforgiveness (self-explanatory);
Anger (self-explanatory);
Greed (desirous of worldly things); and
Envy (wanting what everyone else has). Another late entry of the survey came in after I came home from work. It seemed the opposite of one, but when she explained, I instantly saw how it could quickly become a hindrance. Having a clutter filled house and life.
The first one listed was mentioned by more than one person. It deserved top ranking. The next ones listed fell as suggested by those I polled. They all fall in the category of being a "belly-button ring". So-to-speak. A strength zapper. If not attended, I think it could even cripple.
I have embarked on an "examination" of my life. I am on the table. The Lord is probing my heart and life for the unnecessary. I don't have any piercings other than my ears, but there are MANY things that need to be dealt with in my life. Things that left unattended in my life will drain every ounce of spiritual strength I have. Whatever it is, I can say with certainty, it has lost it's attractiveness---due to the consequences it is causing in my life. Time to remove my belly-button ring hindrances.

Father in heaven, reveal to me--to each one of us--the hindrances in our lives. I need to know. I want to see it for what it is and deal with it once and for all. Forgive me for waiting so long. Some of the issues may have been here so long they are deeply embedded. Remove them from my life. Pour in the peroxide to boil out the wound. I ask with all sincerity of heart that the anointing of the Holy Spirit flow through my life as a river that I never before experienced! Help us to reach new heights in serving You. I am Yours. Wholly and completely. In the awesome name of Jesus I pray. Believing in You~Amen.
Your turn.

Are you as close as you can be to Jesus?
Think about what might be hindering your walk with Christ. Resolve to take control of it and remove it from your life.
Make a list of hindrances. Share them with others. Shine the spotlight on the issues so that they are exposed. Exposure can bring about closure.

Late and Sleepy :)

Ok so i know it is super late and My kids have been in bed since 11 pm sooo i should be too, but i wanted to upload my pics from our vacation to the computer and it takes sooo stinkin long...:)

anyway..I am so glad to be home...today was so overwhelming but i made it...got everything in and put away..started laundry after a 2 hr trip to walmart...but hey at least i was alone :) shane was awesome and kept the kids so i could take my time b/c we were down to nothing....i was so proud that i didn't go over budget! especially considering all i had to get! WOW!!! but that is over thank goodness...

i got a letter in the mail to day about both the girls meet the teacher and it hit me! wow summer is almost over and school is about to start again....Hannah is going to the 4th grade and Gracie will be in K4 even though she is almost 5....I am excited for her to be Going, but sad at the same time! She is soooo excited! :)

it will be just me and hayden until noon at least LOL....

Speaking of Hayden he has outgrown his bassinet and is now a big boy in his crib....soo precious! He is a sweet baby boy and so good.. While on vacation for almost 2 weeks he slept every night for 7 hours and took good naps then at meme's he did the same thing..while on vacation i noticed him outgrowing his little bed and meme and popee did too so i decided to put him down in the big boy crib tonight and he is sleeping so well...YAY!!! I have truly been lucky to have 3 good sleepers! Or maybe i am just an awesome MOM LOL ;) super mama :) a little of both i say :) HEHEHHEHEHE

Hayden is also cutting teeth i believe...I know super early but so were the girls...I am guessing he will be cutting the first one right at or before 4 months...he is drooling and trying to chew everything with his gums soooo...and Gracie who is only 4 has another loose tooth...the one on the bottom is loose next to the missing one :) sooo anyday now!!!

ok well i am off to nite nite!!!

GIVE UP DEVOTION

OK SO I HAVE WANTED TO GIVE UP SOO BAD!!! JUST STOP THE MINISTRY AND QUIT, BUT THAT IS WHAT SATAN WANTS HE WANTS US TO GIVE UP...ALL OF US...
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GIVE UP ON TODAY? YOUR MARRIAGE, FINANCES, KIDS, YOURSELF, PEOPLE, YOUR JOB, YOUR FAMILY?

HEY BUT THE BIBLE TELLS US Galatians 6:9 (The Message)
The Message (MSG)

9-10So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.

I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN WEARY..I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS...I AM JUST PLAIN TIRED AND I HAVE BEEN READY TO WAVE GOODBYE TO THE HELL THAT IS FACED EVERYDAY IN THE LIFE OF A PASTOR'S FAMILY...UGGG IT IS A ROUGH ROAD...THE BATTLES ARE ENDLESS...BECAUSE SATAN HATES ANYTHING YOU DO FOR GOD ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS LIFE CHANGE...SO IF YOU ARE THE LEADER OR A LEADER IN THE CHURCH YOU GET THE BIGGEST WAVES TO CRASH OVER YOU....JUST LIKE A CAPTAIN OF A SHIP EVERYONE ELSE CAN JUMP THE SHIP WHEN THEY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE BUT THE CAPTAIN MUST STAY THE COURSE AND FINSIH THE TRIP...BUT THE CAPTAINS FAMILY SOMETIMESIS TIRED OF THE WAVES AND THE SHARKS...
LOL....BUT JUST LIKE THE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL SONG...WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER LOL

SEE THOSE DARTS/WAVES/SHARKS COMING AGAINST YOU AREN'T PEOPLE...YES THEY COME SOMETIMES IN THE FORM OF FACES BUT THE SCRIPTURE TELLS US
American Standard Version
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places .

SO TRUE AND JUST LIKE ME IN MY WEAKNESS OF WANTING TO THROW IN THE TOWEL...I TOO HAVE TO SAY...THE BATTLE ISN'T MINE BUT IT'S THE LORDS...

IT IS THE SAME FOR YOU...THE BATTLE ISN'T YOURS...WHAT BATTLES ARE YOU FACING? WHAT PAIN DO YOU FEEL?...DO YOU WANT TO THROW IN THE TOWEL ON GOD, CHURCH, FAMILY ECT?.....

GOD WANTS US TO GIVE UP...YES GIVE UP AND LET HIM TAKE CONTROL...

SO DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR SITUATION TODAY JUST GIVE UP TO JESUS AND LET HIM HAVE IT ALL!!!

Happy Birthday Hannah

HAPPY 9th BIrthday HANNAH

Saturday's Goings on!

Woke up this morning thinking on my sweet Jesus....I love him and spending time with him...He is so good to me! I don't deserve His Love nor his blessings in my life, but I thank Him nevertheless.

I Love to stop and look around and breath life in and taste the sweetness around! So many times we get sooo tied up with LIFE we forget to just stop and breath and enjoy the blessing from the Lord...Mine are my Children...I love watching the sleep, but i too love hearing their laughter and the giggles....Hayden is now smiling and giggling too and wow if that won't touch your heart i just don't know what will...I love the moments in the day when I see my handsome husband and he grabs me and kisses me for no reason at all Just because he loves me! I am thankful for such a sweet relationship with him and the love that has grown so deep over the past 10 years..It is sweeter and more precious to me now than back than!

After my thoughts i got going with Cleaning my house and packing (thanks sweet Lori for the use of your AWESOME luggage you are a sweet friend) we are gonna be gone for 2 weeks and I am having a stroke thinking about all the stuff i need to take but I am superwife,mom and just plain awesome soo i will be okay LOL :)

I am looking forward to some great time away from everyday stuff!!!! When we go away we go AWAY!!!!! and I LOVE THAT!!!!!
It is soooo Important to stop and take time away from as much as you can get away from :)
Shane use to HATE vacations but NOW he loves them THANK GOD because we (HE) needs one for sure this year!

I am so thankful to Mr. Gene and Ms. Barbara that let us stay in their beach house every year...They are precious for that because it would be a little bit harder to get away if it wasn't for them!

Well Sunday morning will be here b4 we know...God has really been working in RPC He is sending new familes and we are Growing for Jesus and that is awesome....Because Jesus is What it is all about....

Well I am off to help shane do some billing, shower and then bed...

at least for an hour right? I had a serious MOM OF 3 kids moment on the way to the dentist...
We were already late of which shane called for me...so sweet of him then i called to confirm Hayden's Doctor appt for tomorrow...When the doc's office answered i stated that i was calling to confirm Gracies Dentist APpt..OMG the lady on the other end chuckled and said "number one we aren't a dentist office and number too Gracie doesn't have an appt for tomorrow but Hayden does! LOL i was soo embarrassed OMG!!!! i totally got them all mixed up! what a nerd of me! Crazy Lady that i am! soo Crazy :)

Bwah ah ah ah ah :) LOL What is even more funny is hannah and gracie looked at me at and said aren't we going to the dentist right now mommy! :)OH LORD!
