It's Thanksgiving!

If I were cool enough to pull it off, I'd give each of y'all a fist bump...

Happy Turkey Day people!

Stomachs...do we need them....because I'm willing to give mine away right now...

We are under attack by the worst stomach bug EVER!! We have officially all been afflicted now. Ughhh....

Autumn's Prayer

The time: 9:15... 45 minutes past bedtime, at least... we finally got the girls to bed. And this was Autumn's prayer...

"Jesus, where we go...when we go...safely...and softly...Amen"

It was all I could do to not bust out laughing... I could barely say my prayer with them afterwards! Awww, fun times!!

"Be Strong and Courageous..."

Let me start out with this...

" Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go"
Joshua 1:9

As I was listening to Freddy T. via podcast yesterday, (wish I could have been in NYC in person to hear it!) I heard Freddy read this powerful verse of scripture. It also just so happened that last night, I was interviewed for a position as worship leader for the Doxa service at FBC Clarksville. Needless to say, there was some fear going on in my head. For those of you who don't know me, and even for some of you who do, I do not have any sort of formal education pertaining to theology or music. Plenty of experience playing in bands. Plenty of experience in messing up in life, and God always gently restoring me, teaching me, and I'd like to think building my character! But after I heard Freddy's message, I went and read the verse myself, and God gave me such a peace about everything. He reminded me of the work He's been doing in my life, and where He has brought me to, of how He is the One who is opening the doors, and that, most assuringly to me, that He is the one that is in control of EVERYTHING! Not enough wine at the bridal party for the guests?? Go fetch some water... a giant coming and taunting God's chosen people, causing them to fear and tremble? Bring me the shepherd boy, and 5 smooth stones... the list could go on and on.
So did I get the position? As of yet, I don't know... but trust me, I will be telling everyone I know as soon as I find out! As I look back at the building blocks of what God has been doing, I can't help but feel that this is what He has in store for me... praise be to God for His undying faithfulness, His unyielding love, His unending grace. I hope that these words are as much of an encouragement to you as they have been for me..."Be strong and very courageous".

Amen. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus

It's time to put aside our differences, dear Church, the battle lines have providentially been drawn. It is time we fight together. It's that simple.


Jesus prayed in John 17:22-23: "I have given them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as We are one. I in them and You in Me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me."


Below is the message I found displayed on the Living Proof Ministry blog (Beth Moore) this morning. It is too good not to re-post here...

A United House
To my beloved Sisters who I esteem so highly and consistently find to be part of the solution to our problems in the Church rather than the cause,Please join me in praying for our President-elect Barack Obama, his wife Michelle, and his precious daughters, Sasha and Malia. Go with me before the Throne of our sovereign God and ask Him to grant wisdom from above to President-elect Obama and the indwelling presence and power of Jesus Christ.

In the words of the Apostle Paul, "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior..."

Please also join me in the active and deliberate pursuit of unity and purity in the Body of Christ at this historical time in our country. I implore you in Jesus Name to have zero tolerance for prejudice whether it is regarding party-affiliation, color (whether you are Black, White, or Brown), economics or the like. Disagreement is not sin. Prejudice is. Satan has plotted events and planted attitudes that, should he be successful, will result in havoc. We must not stand for his schemes or cooperate in a single way. We would severely displease God and invite untold chastisement upon Christ's Church in our nation. Speak clearly to your children and graciously but emphatically draw a line in your work places and social circles regarding your stand against prejudice of any kind.

"Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.'" (Matthew 12:25)

A united house stands. A divided house falls. The devil has much to gain. But he also has much to lose.We are the Body of Jesus Christ and we have an opportunity to show His character. This is our watch. We stand for what is right not from our feet but from our knees.I humble myself before you and make these pleas under such bold direction of God that I could not resist it nor disobey it. He made it a fire in my bones.I love and esteem you so much. Shoulder to shoulder, Dear Siestas. Let's leave not one inch for the enemy to come between us.

"Then will I purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve Him shoulder to shoulder." Zephaniah 3:9

Because the pictures are why you come...

This is Jars of Clay at the Americana Folk Festival at Montgomery Bell State Park! It was so amazing! We were right in front of the stage! This was the first time in 10 years it was the four Worth's...so fun! Thanks Daddy for scoring the tickets!
