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!

At My Age?

For those of you who did not know I had my tonsils and my adenoids removed yesterday. Yes at my age I had to have it done. Lets just say that when they said I would have severe throat pain is an understatement. I have a high tolerance of pain but this is awful. The pain medication that they gave me is in liquid form but it just barely takes the edge off the pain. I cant hardly talk yet just barely whisper and I have had ice chips and water since yesterday. I am going to attempt ice cream today. I had thrown up some blood a few times yesterday and it hurts to throw up after having that kind of surgery. I feel for Pastor David and what he has had to deal with after his surgery. It is no fun and you feel horrible and not being able to talk is hard for me. My girls have been great about helping take care of me and things around here. They gave me a bell to ring if I need anything but I try not to ask for anything unless I really need it. Natalie even got up in the middle of the night last nite to get me some ice chips and to make sure I took my medicine and she had to be up at 6 this morning for school. She has been a big help. Im very proud of her and how she has taken charge while I am in bed. I will be at church on Sunday but I wont be doing flags or dancing for at least 3 weeks. I have to get okay from the doctor to do any kind of strenous activity. So if you see me on Sunday and I dont speak I only smile you will know why. Dont take it the wrong way Im just in alot of pain and its hard to talk. Love you all and keep me and the girls in your prayers.

Can You Believe It?

11 years ago today was truly a special day in my life. That was the day my youngest daughter Olivia was born. She is a mommas girl for sure and truly a blessing from god. She is so sweet and loving to everyone, but also has an ATTITUDE from time to time as all little girls do at that age. She is growing up so fast and the time has flown by quickly and I see her losing her childlike ways slowly and trying to come into her own. She has enriched my life more than I can ever describe with words. Being a single mom isnt easy sometimes, but I would not trade it for any amount of money in the world. So if you should see her at church sunday tell her happy birthday. Love you munchkin....lol!!!

Long Time No Blogging!

Hello everyone!!! Did you miss me...lol! I have missed blogging believe it or not. I dont have any profound things to tell you only that I have been taking time for myself and my girls the past few months. I have been dating someone and he is a wonderful man and god has truly blessed me with him. That is all I will say about that for now. Things have been going good and I am still staying busy as usual. I hope everyone is doing good as well and please keep me and my family in your prayers.
