upcoming youth retreat

Hello all! I'm very excitied and scared about the youth retreat we are having this weekend. I'm excitied to see how the Lord will move. It is such a blessing to get the children out of the world and spend a whole weekend pumping them full of the Lord. Every year I have been going, someone has gotten saved!!!!! But every time the retreat comes up you can feel the devil trying to hinder it. This year is no different. Hell is raging all around in very ugly and scary ways this year. See for the past couple of years I have had about the same girls. But now they have grown up and got their wings and flying off. Sadly to say only 3 of them has stayed in the path of the Lord. But 3 is better than none. This year is different. I have a new group of girls. I hate to say this but they are all full of hell. There is no fear of God in them. Today I caught them doing awful things at church. It saddens me to see the state children are in now a days. When I teach these girls it seems like I'm looking into darkness besides 1 girl I have. Praise be to God she just got saved and is really trying to hunt out God's Word. But with these girls the Lord keeps telling me "My word doesn't come back void and you were once lost and deep in sin also." Before I was saved I was a drug addict and have done some really bad things. When I got saved Jesus forgave me and made me a new person but those scares are still there. I just don't want these girls to have the same scares as I do. Praise be to God I have them cause I can witness to people who are going through it and know how they feel. But I wouldn't wish those scares on anyone. It is such a hard road. So please pray for our youth. Thanks for listening!!!! God Bless!!!!!

Prayer Life

I am ashamed. My heart is broken. Have you ever been just sitting there and the Lord just hits you with something like a ton of bricks? Tonight it was my prayer life, my communication with my Heavenly Father. We start school Monday and I realized I had not even prayed for this up coming year. I know that is terrible. I have let myself get sucked into the business of this world. I have talked to other mothers about this snare the world has put in front of us and I just realized I have been caught once again. But I will not sit here and lay in the mud! I will ask my Father above to lift me out and set me on the right path once again,I will ask His forgiveness and guidance, and I will thank Him for dealing with my heart.

Jesus I praise your Holy name!!! I thank you for my salvation! I thank you for saving a wretch like me! I thank you for bringing me out of the sinful world I was in. I thank you for dealing with my heart. I LOVE YOU LORD!!!!!!

River of Life

Hello again! It is the day after my Grandaddy's funeral so we decided to get away and go to the river. It was so peaceful just sitting and watching the kids play. When we first got there my little girl blessed my heart. Her name is Drew and she is 8. Today she made the choice to start swimming in her dresses. Up untill the age of 12 we would have let her wear long shorts and a t-shirt. But today she looked at me and my husband and said she wanted to start to swim in her dresses like me. God is so good. My page is called Fruits of Labor and when you get to see that fruit blossom it is such a blessing. The Lord taught me such a lesson through the action of Drew today. Summer time is always such a hard time for me. People always like to stare when you are out swimming in a dress but today it made me want to jump in head first lol.

On a funnier note my son Levi who is 12 is a little crazy. He was catching crawdads and hanging them from his ears, stomach, and fingers. He will do anything to get a laugh. We had a great pebble fight. My boys were on one side of the river and Ronnie (my husband), me, and Drew on the other were trying to peg each other with pebbles up until Levi got his lip busted. Don't worry it wasn't bad he was laughing and telling us it was a good shot. But we stopped the game and headed up the road for some ice cream.

It was such a wonderful day. God's grace is so good!!!!!

A little about myself

Hello everyone. I'm new to this so I thought I would tell a little about myself. First off I'm saved by the grace of God threw His wonderful Son Jesus Christ. Who I'm saved by the shedding of His blood on the cross of Calvary ,who arose on the 3rd day, washed me in His blood ,saved my soul from hell, and will be returning for me one glorious day!!!! I'm a homeschool mom to 2 beautiful children a boy 12 and a girl 8. I've been blessed to be married to a wonderful man for 10 years. He is a wonderful spiritual leader, friend, and father.

My friend (You know her as Mountianmama) introduced me to your site. She loves it so I thought I would give it a try. I've been going threw alot here lately. My Grandfather died Tuesday. He was staying in our home. He was a blessed soul. I loved him so much. He has been the first person close to me to ever die. We took care of him off and on for 4 years. He was 90 years old. He was so much apart of my life. It is so hard to let him go. His funeral was today. But praise the Lord He gave grace where grace was needed. My dear husband and Pastor preached the funeral. Our Pastor painted such a wonderful picture of the chariot of Heaven coming down and getting him. That gave me so much peace to think of that chariot being in my living room!!!! Praise be to God I will be with him one day!!! My son was so sweet, he looked at me and said, " Mama I'm a little jealous that he got to ride in the chariot. I can't wait till it is my turn." Out of the mouth of babes is all I can say about that lol! My church and friends have been so wonderful during all of this. I can not express how blessed I am. I saw where Mountianmama had asked for your prayers for me and I wanted to say thank you. I have really felt them.

Well it's getting late so I'm going to wrap it up. I'm looking forward to meeting some new friends. Good night and God Bless!!!!!
