D-Now

This is Angel the night he went to D-Now. He had just got his hair cut too. From long to short. Man, that boy had a ton of hair. Anyway, he enjoyed D-Now, had lots of food, fun and discipling. The theme was Now & Then. Meaning it's time to go and make disciples Now, rather Then later.(or something like that) He looked like a zombie Sunday morning though.
Oh, I thought this was so cute....That Friday night I dropped him off and like 30 minutes later I get a call from a friend with a message from Angel.

His message: Will you please call my mom and tell her I'm okay, not to worry about me, I'm not nervous at all cuz I know she thinks I am.

I did think that, it's what it looked like to me....He's so sweet! I'm glad he got to go. Did I mention he was sponsored for this...Ya God!!

For Such A Time As This

With January almost over I thought I would post my verse for the new year. My theme is "2009 A date with Destiny".

And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion ~ Esther 4:14

I also have another one that I think the year holds for me, Romans 12:1-2. Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is true worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
I think the two will go together for me. As I obey Rom.12:1-2 I get in position for such a time as this.
He has lead me to start in the book of Romans. At first I thought it was me wanting to start there since the church is studying Romans on Sunday and Wednesday's. But, for the last couple weeks I have been seeing verses in Romans everywhere I look. And you know when you see verses from the same book like 50 times in such a short period it's no coincidence. So I finally got a clue and I been studying chapter 1 since. The book of Romans is soooo deep and I'm only on chapter one still. Let's see, if I study diligently I should be done with this book by oh, uh...next year maybe?
Seriously though, I'm exited for His Word that transforms me from the inside out!

AnGeL

OMG!!! My Angel is gone for the whole weekend.....sigh.
He is at Disciple Now and I'm sure he is having a blast. But....This is his first time being at a youth group, away from home thing. He didn't go to far though, in fact, the house that he's staying at is in our subdivision. I just might have to take a casual neighborhood stroll tomorrow....

Drawing Near

I am finally done with reading this book I started way back in the summer. It's about, well just what the title of the book says and intimacy with Him. A part of the book that spoke to me was the chapter on tongues. The author gives a pretty thorough look at what the scripture says in this area and how he applies it to his own life. This has been a huge eye opener for me and has helped me in my own prayer walk.

So I have 2 more books from the summer that I have to finish reading. One on prayer that's turned out to be really good and the other from a book study I did with some other ladies that I didn't really enjoy reading. BUT GOD checked me on that during Christmas vacation so I gotta finish reading it.

Luke

It's been a while. Lot's going on here like....
My Lil' Luke is going to school now.


He started on Monday. This is something I been praying about for a while now. This is something I've known was supposed to happen but never went thru with it. This is something my flesh fought big time. Something I went back and forth and back and forth on until finally I couldn't stand it any longer and I knew that I knew what I was supposed to do. He loves it!!
