Does The Pain Ever Go Away?

It is never easy when u lose someone who is very close to u. There is really no words that can be spoken that will ease the pain that u feel when someone u love is gone. Does the pain ever go away? I'm not sure that it ever goes away, but we learn that god is the only answer for the pain. That doesn't mean that we still wont have moments that we want to cry about it or to grieve in some way. Everyone has their own way of grieving and there is no set time we have to have our grieving done by. God is the only one who can fill that void that is left when u lose someone. The unconditional love he has for us wraps around us like a warm blanket and holds us tight to him in his arms. I have a few friends who have lost spouses and it is hard for me to imagine how that feels, but I do know that god is the only one who can fill that void inside. He will help you through the darkness and shine his light bright so that you can find your way to him. All you have to do is say god come and fill this void in my life and show me the way.

This Touched Me So Much

Tammy is doing a workshop in Lexington over a few Tuesdays nites this month and a few of us are going with her. We did a women's retreat at this church earlier in the year and it touched me so much. I blogged about it earlier if u want to read it just look back and find "Childlike Excitement". Last nite was great and the ladies there are eager to learn and excited. I want to post the dance we taught them earlier this year that we also did with them at their church. It blesses me to watch it. I hope u enjoy it.

Moments To Be Cherished

I don't have anything to really say today except I'm glad god has placed some really great people in my life. I know anytime I need them all I have to do is call them and they are there for me. They know the same goes for me too. They are moments to be cherished with each of them as they come into my life however long god allows that to be.

My Co-Workers

As most of you know I have been working at my job since April and god has blessed me with it. Things have been very difficult there lately. Not the job itself but the attitude and moral that my co-workers have. I am not going to go into details about what the things are because that will only contribute to the problem. They are so focused on complaining and speaking things out about other people that it has made the atmosphere very heavy and not pleasant to work in. I try to keep my headphones on and not listen to the negativity being spoken. It gets hard sometimes. Its very easy to get caught up in it if you are not careful and don't guard yourself. All I can say is please keep my co-workers and I in prayer because it will take god to turn it around. It reminds me of the song we sing "....late in the midnite hour gods gonna turn it around...hes going to work in your favor...gods gonna turn it around and around." Oh sorry got carried away singing it....lol. I love the guys I work with and they are great people just need to have their minds renewed and definitely need god in their lives.

No Matter If I See ....I Believe It!

Church was amazing today. We did our new dance at the beginning of service. Pastor was praying for ppl to be healed today. Those of u that know me know that i have had joint pain for the past three years. Its a constant battle that doesn't go away and at times it hinders me from doing what god has called me to do. Not anymore I believe that today god has healed me so that I can continue to do what he has asked of me. We cannot walk around defeated with our heads hung. We lift our heads high and look to god and say thank you father for my healing, restoration, breakthrough, whatever it is that you are believing him for. You don't need someone to pray for you all you have to do is believe that he has done it for you and walk in the faith he has given you. So what if you don't see the results now that doesn't mean that you didn't receive it...sometimes we have to say ok god I'm willing to walk this thing out "no matter if I see it I believe it".

Come And See What God Has Done And Is About To Do

This morning I had my first look into our new building that we are moving to. It still isn't totally finished but what has been done is nothing short of amazing. I was almost in tears as I walked in this morning because I can remember my first day at New Vision almost 3 1/2 yrs ago. I knew that was the place that god had brought me to, but I had no idea of the journey god had me purposed for. In practice this morning it was all business but I wanted to cry looking around at everyone and seeing how far we have come as a church and as a dance ministry. It is a privilege to be apart of the ministry and I do not take it for granted. I know tomorrow morning as we are up there doing flags as part of the worship service I am sure that I will have trouble holding back the tears of joy that I will be feeling just to see what god has done. The amount of lives that have already been touched is overwhelming and as I am writing this it makes me cry because I am one of the lives touched.

So anyone that lives in Louisville or surrounding area please join us at The Vision tomorrow morning for our opening day service and come celebrate with us. Don't celebrate because we have a new building but celebrate what god has done and is about to do in this city.

Thoughts I Had When At Work

"Lord help me not to let idle words fall from these lips. help me to speak love and life into ppls lives. give me the wisdom to know when to be silent and when to speak. anger, frustration, sarcasm, unforgiveness, sickness, and death are not the things I want to speak. your love, mercy, grace, goodness, forgiveness, healing, and life are what my mouth will speak."

Its a new day and I have a renewed mind. I will walk, eat, drink, sleep, and breath in him in all I do. never forgetting that my light could be the only light someone may see. the love he showed me may be the only love someone who is hurting and lost may ever see. I want to always walk with my light shining in the midst of the darkness so that others may know him as I do." Sept 1, 2009
