ISAIAH 26:3
THOU WILT KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON THEE: BECAUSE HE TRUSTETH IN THEE.

Trunk or Treat

This is from 2005. I will post some picture later on this week of the boys in their customes this year. I think we will have a couple of deer hunters in the camo green and a farmer perhaps. Wait and see!!! They may come up with some other ideas... Who knows????

You are invited to attend the Trunk or Treat at our Church--Morristown Baptist Tabernacle in Morristown, TN the location is on Jarnigan Avenue just off Morris Blvd.



Growing up my parents always took us to people house we knew to get candy. Our mamaw gave us a brown paper bag sack just full of candy every year we did not even need to go anywhere to be honest that was more than enough candy for three little girls trust me.. That was my dad's mother she just enjoyed seeing the excitement on our faces. She was a grandmother that loved her grandchildren she made sure not matter the time of year she had candy for us and she practically made my dad let us have some candy everytime we stop in to see mamaw.


In the past, we have went door to door in the neighborhood with our boys. Although, since last year I had no family members home and my entire family on third or second shift the boys and I stay home and watch a movie and popped popcorn and of course the family members still gave them candy. They just did not get to dress up. But in the past in 2005 we went out I found a picture mom and dad's neighbor at the time took this picture for me that year that was first year for us with the boys at halloween.

Praise God!!

Miracles never cease to exist as my little sis comment was last night... Praise God Hallelujah!! We are done with our foster care classes now we just need for DCS to do their part then our house is open for new kids....No we are not kidding... My brother-in-law once told me we have our own little mission field right here in good old East Tennessee we take in children that need a home. Now since my little sister, and her hubby are the god parents of our children they say we'll take the first three, but after that you need some backup. So I guess my hubby and I are never allow to take vacation together again.. HA!! HA!!
You know we complain and we have bitter taste in our mouth some days. But today let's just decide this will be successful day with no worries, no complaints and no problems... Okay in this world of today sorrows and heartaches you may say how it that even possible.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Think about when Our Lord and Saviour was on the cross suffering for your sins and mine.... Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus; Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. This had to be the most terrible event that has ever happened on this earth the most tragic event ever...Jesus suffered for your sins the one who did no wrong....Why??? To give you the opportunity for eternal life... Just ask Him today and today He will be your Saviour and your shield of armour..We can have not greater armour than the armour of GOD..... Ephesians 6:11, 13, 16-18 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. verse 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. verse 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. verse 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto will all perseverance and supplications for all saints.
With God On Our Side We Can Defeat Any Battle We Come Up Against

Keep Walking With GOD

I am a little heartached this morning for all the tragedies going on in this world... You read the newspaper, internet and you talk to friends of the past... What is this world coming to that's it an END>>>>> Yes, times are different. Just this past week-end in a town near by a mother leaves her boys by themselves at home 6, 4, 2 and according to the paper the six year said I was just watching my brothers until mom got home from the hospital and the house complete disasters... Then you hear about the incident in Chicago with the American Idol stars family and when it comes down to it these two situations most likely are drug related... When we were growing up we thought it was bad in the high schools for ourselves now drugs are equally being found in grade schools yes people your grade schools students.. People are you watching your children closely are you sure they are not hanging out with the wrong crowds???? Did you know that 94% so call christian homes that children are being raised in turn to the world once they leave home why is that because they are in school more hours a day than they are in the Bible or in church a week??????? Then we have these younger generations of people in their twenties let's say and they are turning against their own morals their up bringing what is going on?????
II Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.... Satan is stronger today and he tries everyday to reel you back in to his way of thinking ---selfishness, envy, lust and ungodly morals and etc.. We can be caught up again. No, we can not lose our salvation, but we can be reel back in to sin deeply... Stay in God's word daily keep JESUS first in your life's and stay in church, memorize scripture and when Satan comes knocking you have a weapon to keep him out that is God's power and authority. Satan job is not only to keep individuals from salvation, but to keep you from presenting the gospel to someone. Be on guard ready to attach him back when he throws an dart at you..
I Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
II Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of the truth.
II Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Luke 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do, Arise, let us go hence.

OBEDIENCE

O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E----- Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe actions are the key to obedience joy you will receive... I try on a daily basic to tell my children how important it is to obey believe me it is a constance battle of reminder... I know us as adults fail in this category also our own biggest threat is ourselves of obeying God's Word also. Yes, we would think we learn this as a child, but we all still struggle with this in our daily lifes...Why??? We are human and guess what human make mistakes... I bet you thought adults did no wrong are you kidding.. I bet you thought that once you become adults no more discipline wrong GOD will put you back on the right road if you do wrong yes HE will use the paddle on you... I guess you thought I can not wait until I grow up then I will not be discipline ever again for doing wrong... I tell my boys all the time God's discipline is much more painful than anyone of your parents will ever give you... Think about those trails and opportunities (some preachers refer to them as) they seem like murder sometimes to go through... We pray dear LORD just help me cross this bridge and I will never go down this road again...But is that always the case "NO" we go there again also just like any normal human would do..... Then we have to ask for God's guidance again to help me learn this lesson that I will never commit this SIN again... By God's grace we will get through it that is our only shield and protection we can depend on and no other...
Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the OBEDIENCE of faith.
Hebrews 5:8
Though he were a Son, yet learned he OBEDIENCE by the things which he suffered.
DEUTERONOMY 4:30
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord they God, and shalt be OBEDIENT unto his voice;

Trying to Make it All Work

Well, have you every had one of those days when you felt completely run down???

Yes, that is me today... Believe me a mom of three boys and being a mom to a 14 mth old gets very hard some days... Especially, when the 14 mth old is teething yes some more of those bottom teeth are coming in those 5am crying in pain... Today I am feeling completely run down throat hurts and ears hurt and please let me stop crying myself....

You know those little things are just minor in comparison of what I have witness in others lives and the obstacles they are going through...Lord help me to hold my head up and praise your name even when the names seem to painful to even walk.. What my Lord suffered for me and you.. How can we ever complain about any pain???


This morning I signed the two oldest children up for upward bound basketball at a local church.... Then we went to the store and got a few items at the store and then filled up the van with gas and guess what I was able to get some groceries and gas for under a $100 that is something to praise God about... We all remember a few weeks ago when gas was so high we thought we would die.... Mom and dad stay with the younger children and the eldest boy went with me... Hubby had to work today :(
.....Thank God for grandparents what would we do without them.... I would be in a world of hurt some days without my mother for sure.... I have a wonderful parents I am so thankful God gave me to them to raise.....

God help me today to lean on you more... I need your strength and power to get me through.... Psalm 38:4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. Isaiah 35:3-4 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.

Use your Time Wisely for the Lord

Oh!! No, I forgot to eat breakfast this morning, read my Bible and take time to talk to the Lord. I believe when you start the day without Jesus then you will have a day without success and fulfillment. For those of us that have our eye site what would the day be like without your site and do you think you could function for the day. Let's take time for the Lord today from the beginning of the day and then I know your day will run a lot smoother. Let's not be self fish with the time the Lord gives but use it wisely.
Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me
early shall find me.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not
unto thine own understanding.
2 Chronicles 15:2b The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, he will forsake you.

"TEMPER TANTRUMS"

You bet I can remember throwing those temper tantrums growing up...But I have always told my sisters they were always throwing little temper tantrums.... I told them I was the good little girl...HA!! HA!! They are always telling me that I just never got caught believe me I did get caught they just do not remember those times I guess....
In applying this to our Christian life's--- We all need to accept what God allows in our life's or do you get angry with HIM when things don't go your way. It's okay to tell God your disappointed, but you can be sure that He won't give in to your temper tantrums. Tell Him how you feel but then trust Him and accept His way.
Proverbs 19:3
The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.

"BRAVERY"

Did you ever think about the word "BRAVE"? I know there has been times in my life being brave was not my thing...Because of the fear of the unknown... I think over my years of life my Lord and Saviour has taught me to be more brave. I have learn if I'm am living for my Saviour and HE knows the unknown then I have the best leader in the world....

Now, let all take a stand for Jesus and let HIM lead our life's daily and let HIM direct your life through ever decision you make. Now, go on through the rest of this day with confidence and hold that head up high.... Remember you have the most powerful director you could possible have in JESUS... So why do you need anything or anyone else..

Confidence and trust in the LORD that is what we need that will give us bravery:
Proverbs 3:26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep they foot from being taken.

"Don't Put off Today What Needs to be Done"

We all are guilty of this putting it off tomorrow I can do that....or next week.... what about a month from now. I know I am guilty and of course we all have men in our life's guilty of this... I think sometimes this is a characteristics that was instill in men by GOD... That IS God little sense of humor being revealed....
Now, there are a lot of things in life we can put off until another day and another year....


But salvation is not one of those things you need to put off what if you put it off to long... Everyday you live you are closer to death did you ever think of it that way..... God is a fair and just to everyone, but you can not keep putting off salvation there will come a time when God is finish with you if you wait to long...
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
So please do not put off today what will effect your life for eternity...
Look to God for eternal life and seek HIM before it is everlasting to late.

P.U.S.H

I decided that prayer really works..... How about you!!! Has God revealed His amazing power in your life just this week....Well, I know He is real there is no other way to explain the things that have happened in my immediate family lately... We have see family ties mended and relationship's being restored that we began to have no hope for that ever would happened... God is awesome what more can I say....He is real and He is still listening to your cries, your desires and on and on the list can go....
The scripture 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. That means we can pray anywhere and everywhere... Ladies while you are doing those dishes praying that God would bless this child that ate from that dish or pray for this husband that works so hard to provide food to be ate from that plate you are washing.... P.U.S.H----Pray Until Something Happens.

What a Day!!

Well, have you ever had one of those days you just wish you could just cancel and start all over.... I did today believe me.....Our middle child Kenny is sick with a virus... So I made an doctor appt. for the afternoon... Got in the van to go down the road.... It would not start in fact the battery was dead... I called dad to come to the rescue.... Which got me to their house but that was it.... Dead again got little man to the doctor with mom's car and he had a stomach virus.... Then went to the store and he had a bad moment there you know up chucked all over my groceries.... Then an employee came to my rescue and save the day she was so nice opened a cash register up just for me to check out.... I told her I was so upset with the mess hated for anyone to check us out... She said she would that was no problem that is why we have hand sanitizer.... God took a not so great day when I was about to just set down and cry and HE let someone come to my rescue to help through this little obstacle. God use this lady to help me out when I thought all was lost and I would have to use one of those self check out lanes which I hate....

Fruits of the Spirit

Thinking about the fruits of the spirit which one do you need to develop in your life. I just thankful to God that through HIM and HIM alone can we all develop the Christian tracts that need to appear in our life's daily. I know sometimes it easy to get anger about things and easy to not love that person that has done you wrong. Also, to not have peace that we need to today in the way the economy is heading. But God knows the future the end of the road will surely come to a more peaceful end. Look the gas prices are coming down and so are the groceries prices... I told you God would see us through if only we would trust him more.
Now let's take a look at the fruits of spirit and let all take a look at our life's and see which tract you need to work on in your life.....
Galatians 5:22-25
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Creation Museum

You have got to go to the Creation Museum in Florence, Ky. This was a little family get away for the boys and myself and my parents, and my sister and her hubby went with us also. Unfortunately, Adam had to work again. But very soon he will get to spend some time with us he has 8.5 vacation days left to use. Maybe even next week I am excited and if he can the week-end of my b-day. Anyway, check this website for the museum..... www.creationmuseum.org It is certainly a trip worth the money and I really enjoyed the entire museum. Make sure you check out the film of "Men in White" if you go.

WITHOUT HIM I AM NOTHING

I HAVE FOUND IN MY LIFE MOST RECENTLY GOD IS LISTENING EVEN WHEN I THINK HE HAS LEFT.... SOMETIMES WE ALL GET IN THE ROUTINE OF LIFE AND THINK GOD IS REALLY NOT THERE OR HE THERE BUT WE ONLY NEED HIM IN OUR TIMES OF TROUBLE...BUT THE TRUTH IS HE NEVER LEFT HE STANDING RIGHT THERE JUST WAITING ON YOU TO RESPOND TO HIM... GOD HAS ANSWERS PRAYERS IN MY LIFE JUST THIS WEEK-END I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR HIS MERCY AND LOVE... GOD KNOWS THE PAST, PRESENT AND YES THE FUTURE... SOMETIMES WE ACT IF THOUGH HE ONLY KNOWS THE PRESENT.... BUT PEOPLE HE KNOWS THE BEGINNING TO THE END.... HE KNOWS THE OUTCOME.... HE KNOWS BEST....I AM JUST CONFUSE AND CAN NOT SEE HOW PEOPLE CAN LIVE WITHOUT HIM... LIFE WOULD BE SO HOPELESS AND NO REASON TO LIVE... I WANT MY LIFE TO PLEASE HIM DAILY..... I TOLD THE BOYS JUST THIS WEEK... A LESSON WE ALL NEED TO PRACTICE IN OUR LIFE'S.... IF THE ARGUMENT YOU HAVE OR THE COMPLAINT YOU DECIDE IS WORTH COMPLAINING OR ARGUING ABOUT IS NOT ETERNAL THEN DROP IT.... THE ETERNAL THINGS IN LIFE THE ONES THAT WILL EFFECT US FOREVER ARE THE ONES THAT WE DWELL ON WE HAS A REASON TO ARGUE ABOUT... LIKE A LOST SOUL THAT WE NEED TO WITNESS TO ONE'S THAT NEEDS TO ACCEPT ETERNAL LIFE FROM GOD WE ARE MISSIONARIES FOR JESUS OUR MAIN PURPOSE IN LIFE... OUR SAVIOUR WHO SETS ON THE RIGHT HAND THRONE OF GOD... YES, PEOPLE GOD IS REAL IF ONLY US CHRISTIAN WOULD REALLY GET A HOLD OF THAT.... WE COULD HELP A LOT MORE INDIVIDUAL COME TO THE SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS....HE SHOWS HIMSELF REAL IN MY LIFE DAILY....SO HOW CAN I NOT LOVE HIM.. I CAN NOT LOVE HIM ENOUGH OR DO ENOUGH FOR HIM TO SHOW I APPRECIATE JUST WHAT HE DONE FOR ME....

DON'T LIVE IN FEAR

I GOT TO THINKING THIS MORNING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN FEAR. WE ALL SEEM TO LIVE IN FEAR WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW, OR WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT MONTH, AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO MANAGE THIS YEAR. YES, WE ALL ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT THE WHAT IF????? WHAT IF???? WHAT IF??? GOD IS ON THE WINNING SIDE.

PSALM 118:8 IT IS BETTER TO PUT TRUST IN GOD THAN CONFIDENCE IN MAN.

GOD IS OUR LIFE LINE OUR SHIELD OF ARMOUR. WE JUST NEED TO LET HIM PROTECT US FROM ALL HARMS OF EVIL. SATAN BEING OUR BIGGEST THREAT IN LIFE. SATAN IS ALWAYS WANTING TO ATTACKS OUR LIFE'S AS CHRISTIAN. WE NEED TO STAY IN CHURCH AND STAY IN GOD'S WORD. SATAN DOES NOT LIKE SCRIPTURE QUOTED TO HIM, IF YOU EVERY FEELING ATTACKED BY SATAN OR YOUR OLD WORLDLY FLESH YOU NEED TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE YOU WILL BE AMAZED OF THE OUT COME.

Blessing just to serve the LORD

This morning we went to a local grade school to present the gospel before school started and we had 65 students. PRAISE THE LORD!!! We had our devotional on the story of GIDEON. It all seem so strange how God told them to defeat the battle with trumpets and pitchers with candlesticks. (If you are not familiar with this story read Judges chapter 7) That sounds so strange does it not. Now, if our military today was order to use this as their weapon of defense the enemies would think we have gone insane. God is all knowing and HE knows the outcome HE knows the end of the story. God help the Gideon's and they did win the battle.
Apply this lesson in your life today. If we stay on the winning side then we will actually win ever battle we are faced with no matter the circumstance.

PSALM 118:8
IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN THE LORD THAN TO PUT CONFIDENCE IN MAN.

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE, I'M GOING TO LET IT SHINE FOR JESUS

Today, it was just like God again being illustrated of HIS realness again in my life. At First Bapt. Church this morning in their devotion time at 10:00am Bro. Tim talk about people ignoring GOD... That is just like God to prove himself again to me. I wrote down a couple of keys things he mention....1) A lot of people ignore God's word...2) God wants us to pratice what the Bible said (if you are hateful to an individual are you practicing what God Word's said) 3) We must do what the BIBLE said to do this way we are pleasing GOD
People are watching you are you setting a good example for HIM..

"LORD HELP US BE REAL IN THIS WORLD OF PHONY PEOPLE"

JOHN 8:12 THEN SPAKE JESUS AGAIN UNTO THEM, SAYING,
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: HE THAT FOLLOWETH ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT SHALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.
