Family

Many of you know by reading my blog or my myspace that I am a part of the wings of worship dance ministry. They are like my sisters and when something happens to one of them it affects me. Just like if something good happens I rejoice with them. They are my family. This past thursday morning a memeber of the group Bo was in a car accident with her mother. Her mother was killed in the accident and she suffered some injuries. When Tammy called me and told me that Bo had been in an accident and her mother was killed I was in shock. After I hung the phone up I cried for almost an hour. I was sad to know that her mother was killed but i know she is with the father right now and at that time Bo was in critical condition. She has been released from the hospital and starting her recovery. When things like this happen we dont always know what to say or what to think. I know my heart went out to Bo because I know she was very close to her mother. Her mother was her rock and her covering. I know it will be very difficult for her but she knows that she has all her sisters by her side and surrounding her to help her through this time. I know that god will comfort her and take her to a place of peace. My prayers are with Bo and her family.

Being Ready In Season And Out

Talk about being ready in season and out. Yesterday Tammy called me and said that we had been asked to dance on WLKY news at 5am in the morning. I said really that was great. We were not sure how many of the ladies could do it at a moments notice. Ended up being 6 of us that were able to do it. If that wasn't hectic enough we had to do it to a song that Pastor Curtis was going to sing live and we had nothing choreographed to it. So after church last nite we all spent about 3 hrs coming up with it and ministered it live on the news at 5am this morning. It was truly a privilege to be able to minister this morning even if it was only for a few minutes. God will use that to his glory and good. I am excited that our church is helping usher Santa Claus to town cause god will use that to help us impact the heart of this city. So many peoples lives will be touched and changed by us being obedient and moving when god said to move.

Please keep Wings of Worship in prayer as we have our "Behind The Veil" workshop Saturday also. It is going to be a powerful time of worship for everyone. We have all been preparing for this for a while now. If you want to be apart of that and come worship with us it starts at 8am and goes to 8:30pm. The cost is $20.00 which will include lunch and you can register at the door as you come in. You don't have to be in the dance ministry to join us its about breaking out of your box and having freedom in your worship. We will close out our workshop with a river service that starts at 7pm and anyone is welcome to come and join us for that. There will be some of us who will be doing individual dances and singing and Pastor Curtis will be doing praise and worship to close it out for us. If anyone has ever been to one of our river services in the past then you know how powerful and anointed they are. I look forward to seeing some of you there.

70 Days of Ridiculous Miracles

I believe with all my heart that god has ridiculous miracles that are going to take place in my life. I have been a christian for 29 years. I have strayed a few times in those years but I have never stopped believing. I came to New Vision in May of 2006 and new instantly that was where god wanted me to be. I had no idea the call he had put on my life was about to be fufilled, but not in the way that I had thought that it would. It was prophecied over me many years ago and several times since then that god would use me to minister to people and that healing would take place. Well I had my own idea of what I thought that meant, but god has his plan set into motion all those years ago. I had no idea that I would be in a dance ministry and that through me just being obedient that healings would take place in peoples lives. I dont meant physical healing I mean broken hearts, broken marriages, depression, and the list goes on and on. Each time we minister whether it be at our church or when we go out we see lives touched and changed. It is so awesome to see that and to be apart of that. It took several years of going through some hard times and stubborness for me to get to where god wanted me to be to fufill the call he has on my life. During this next 70 days of ridiculous miracles I know he will show me more of what he wants for me. So dont sit back and think just cause it didnt happen to you like it has for someone else dont be discouraged. Keep believing and thanking him. God has his perfecting timing for what he wants to do in your life and he is an on time god.

Deeply Touched

Today was an awesome time at church. I always look forward to worshiping with the ladies every sunday and today was no exception. We ministered during the offereing with Tom singing Holy. Something very special happened at church that especially touched me. During the second service today a couple who has been coming to our church was married during the service. They were living together and not married when they started coming to church. As god started to deal with them they decided they wanted to make things right, but didnt have the money to have a wedding and our pastor said that isnt a problem we will marry you during the sunday service. That especially touched me cause as many of you know I came out of a situation very similar. Only difference is that I didnt end up getting married but I did make the situation right by getting out of the relationship. I have to say that it just confirmed for me that I am exactly where god wants me. I know by what I have come out of that god will use that to minister to other people.

Almost Back To Normal

Well I am almost done with my first week back to work. It has been a struggle to keep my energy up, but after all its only been three weeks since I had surgery. I am doing fine and the pain is starting to diminish. My kids are glad that I am finally cooking dinner again. They were tired of eating sandwiches or microwavable food. I am just now getting to where I can eat what I want, but I still have to chew my food good so that I can swallow it easier. By this time next week I should be pain free and back to normal...well not sure about normal but back to being me....:) Please continue to pray for Wings of Worship as we are nearing the end of our week of prayer and fasting. We will end it Monday evening at practice where we will come together to pray and pastor curtis will come and have a time of worship with us so that we can just soak in his presence. Sunday we will be ministering a dance for both services. I hope to see you there.

If Your Going To Do Something, Do It With Excellence

Today was my first day back to work after being off for two weeks. It was a little tiring but i made it through the day without falling asleep at my computer. I am feeling much better now and I go back to the doctor tomorrow morning. I am talking better now without dragging my words. I still cant yell yet, which my kids are thankful for, but Im sure i will be able to before long. I want to thank everyone for their prayers for me while I was recooperating from surgery. I will be glad to be able to dance with the group now and do worship with them on sundays now. It was really hard to sit on the side not being able to worship with them. Not so people will see me but because I know that is what I was called to do is worship him with all that I have within me. Before I had surgery I had made the decision to start going back to the gym to get myself in shape to be able to minister more effectively. If you are going to do something you should do it with excellence and to the best of your ability. I want to be able to do things in the future when called upon to do so. That means to get myself in the best shape possible to be able to do that. My legs and knees especially need strength and mobility more than I have now so I am taking steps to do that. I am so excited that we have new members of the group now and they are all such a blessing and bring more diversity to the group. God is truly shaping and molding us and requiring more of us as we begin to grow. Anna who has done mime before has such a sweet spirit and a true heart of worship. Bo is funny and loving and has overcome alot and turned her life around. We are going to a dance conference in September and 8 of us are going. Please pray that god does some miraculous things while we are there. We are looking forward to getting fed as well as ministering to. We will be ministering at a Baptist church that we previously went to on that Sunday night for their friends and family service. When we were there the last time it was truly a powerful time and touched each of us in a special way. Please keep us in prayer as we will be having a week of prayer and fasting. We do this from time to time for direction and to be ministered to as well. I am excited about what god is about to do with us and where he is taking us. I encourage all of you to join us for at least one day out of the next week to fast and pray.

Over Ambitious, Me? Never...lol!

This past week of recovery has been very hard for me. I have not had any energy and to eat is extremely hard. I am getting better everyday and the pain is gradually getting less. Yesterday was the first day I attempted to get out and I went to the Jefferson Mall just to walk around and get out of these four walls. I made it halfway through the mall and it was like someone had knocked all the wind out me. I became dizzy and weak and I was by myself, not too smart, but I stopped for a few minutes and regrouped myself. I had to get out but I think that was a little over ambitious for me to do. My daughter was frantic calling my mom to see where I was and then my mom calls me wondering where I am. I was texting my boyfriend while I was stopping and resting in the mall and mom and natalie calling me. It was kind of funny cause I am a grown woman and here they are calling checking on me. Hahaha....I can understand why they were worried but I was okay. I did go to church last nite and it felt good to be there but while pastor was talking I started to feel very bad and had to leave cause I knew I needed to get home and rest cause I couldnt make it anymore. I am doing okay I have just not been able to eat much and I didnt have enough energy to handle all that yesterday. I am the type of person who is very stubborn and doesnt like to stay in all the time. So it didnt suprise my boyfriend that I got out but he did say I should have waited and took someone with me. He is right but me being who I am I went anyway...lol! I cant wait to get back my energy and be able to dance again. I miss so much just being able to worship with the ladies and everyone at church, but I have to get the okay from the dr before I can do anything. I will be at church on sunday and I hope to see everyone there. I can talk now but I have to warn you I sound funny when I talk and I drag my words a bit cause my throat still hurts. So just let me get my words out and then you can laugh...lol!
