Kahli Dance Recital 2009

Thank you to everyone that has prayed for Kahli over these past couple of weeks. She completed her dance recital today with the help of JESUS, who carried her through. To watch her dance you would never know that she has been so sick.

She was amazing, even if she is my daughter. She sparkles when she goes on stage and you can tell how much she enjoys what she is doing. She definitely entertains her audience.

I was very proud of Kahli tonight for many reasons. She did an incredible job dancing. She did an amazing job leading her little girls in their dances. She is a great encourager to the younger dancers. Her attitude remains positive throughout her storms and the best thing of all.....She went on stage prior to the show and led a prayer for all of the dancers that were on the stage.

She credits the great show to JESUS!

Ready, Willing and Able

For awhile now, I have been looking for a "small group", a "home group", a "bible study". I often hear people talk about how they had a great bible study at some one's home and how close their "home group" is.

I have been longing to be a part of something like that. I have been praying and searching for a couple of years. Every time, I hit a dead end road.

Is the LORD trying to tell me something? Is this dead end road really an open door for me to be doing something to glorify HIM instead of satisfy me?

I have talked with many people during these couple of years and every time I do, the conversation always turns to me. What is it that I am looking for? What kind of group do I want to be in? What do I want to achieve in this "group"?

Tonight, as I walked and prayed, I asked the LORD to reveal to me what HIS will was regarding this quandary that I have found myself in, and what did HE want me to do. Because honestly, i often get lost in me and what I want, forgetting that my main goal here on earth is to glorify HIM.

HE has revealed many things tonight through this prayer time . I feel renewed about something that I have longed for, for so long. I feel like my prayers have finally been answered. I now know how I can accomplish what I think HE wants me to do regarding "home group".

No, it is not what I was looking for. It is not going to be comfortable. It is not going to be easy. It is going to take some work. I know that I need to step out of my comfort zone in order to achieve this.

I am ready, willing and very able!

"please pray for kahli"

Please pray for Kahli. Over the past couple of weeks she has not felt well and now that her Spring Break is upon us, she has been down and out. She has suffered with fatigue and muscle cramping. She has had headaches and unable to sleep at night. Now she has come down with a horrible cold and is feeling miserable. Please pray that she is able to re cooperate quickly.

She is really looking forward to church this weekend, with all of the extra services and more chances to minister to the special needs children. However, in order for her to do this, she needs to be well.

This Easter Sunday will be a very special day for us both and it will be much better if she is up and able to go to church and be around fellow believers.

HE LIVES!!!!!

We are blessed!

HE is in control!

Over the past couple of weeks, I have encountered some events in my life, that have made me step back and look. I have gone through numerous feelings including, fear, anger, sorrow, anxiety and hurt.

In talking with a friend of mine the other day and she gave me this verse:

...for i know the plans i have for you, declares

the LORD, plans to prosper you and not

to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and

a future...

JEREMIAH 29:11

This verse has gotten me through the hard times. Once again, i am reassured that HE is in control therefore, I am surrendering myself to HIM!

Thank you JESUS for loving me!
