GODS SWEET SURPIRSES!!

Last night at church we had such a powerful move....Jesus was definetly in the house! He showed his miraculous power and put me in check! He told me he is in control of everyone of our children. We as parents want our children raised and used by God in anyway and when it seems as though our little ones are not grasping it and they go to Sunday School and are in church services where othere children are getting blessed runing the aisles and one of ours is just sitting there as if nothing is going on, makes us feel as parents maybe were not doing a good enough job at home. I have a daughter named Madison and son named Logan who is with us part time and with their mother part time. Their mother is not in church so we are all the church they get. There were times I would tell my husband that they are not getting enough church they are missing out on the blessing our other children who have church fulltime in their lives get. Logan and Madison seemed a little disconnected from church the times they are with us and would get restless and not want to go. Logan had gotten the Holy Ghost at Junior Camp this year thank you JESUS, however Madison who is 6 did not want anything to do with it..........I thought God how can this be one of her parents is serving you its unfair for him! Well God sure did give us a sweet surprise last night Pastor Clark preached a wonderful message on dedicating our children and being there with them to help them in their dedications to the Lord! During alter call Madison asked me Nicole can I run the aisles too......I looked at her in shock she would barely clap her hands at times.....I said sure baby you can, I was letting her out and Jared said where is she going I said babe just let her go she started running as fast as she can she did not look back to see who was following she just ran! she looked so free and happy running those aisles I turned around and looked at mamaw who is my mother in law and Mamaw to our children and I couldnt even get the words out tears started falling down my checks I said mom you dont even know what this means to Jared and I! You dont even know! Then she started crying and said I know I know! Well I thought God was done there nope he had more sweet surprises for us......Logan was in the alter sobbing and speaking in tongues with his brothers and cousins praying over him and weeping. I turned around and there was Madison hands up in the air tears running down her facing crying I LOVE YOU JESUS! I LOVE YOU JESUS! I PRAISE YOU JESUS! seeking for the Holy Ghost......I couldnt contain myself. The spirit was sooooo good we had hours of shouting and praying Youth, Children, Adults on their faces.......took me back to the place when I was a teen and I thought if I had this good stuff during church my children deserve it as well! I prayed last night and said GOD thank you for bringing me home! I feel safe where I know my children and I will make it to Heaven. God also told me as long as you pray with your children no matter the circumstances and you lead them the way to me I will alway have my hand of protection over them Guiding them and Loving them and you as parents will enjoy my SWEET SURPRISES!

Well...here we go again. The tears are streaming down my face. Even though I was there to witness this beautiful move of God, it is sweet to see it again in the pictures. I can't remember the last time I was in such a power service. I say so often after church, Wow...that was a great service, but this one was different. I went to the youth prayer tonight with Meagan and the boys and the testimonies proved what God did last night. Amanda testified that before church she was so discouraged and she told the Lord that she wasn't even sure she was in the right place anymore. She had even begun to question the truth in her state of discouragement. She was saddened that she is the only member of her family serving the Lord and just not feeling like she could go on any longer. She made the comment she could have left church last night and not come back. She told the Lord before church she needed to feel something. The Lord spoke through a saint with tongues and the words were, "My servant speaks truth, listen to his words, obey and I will save your family! The very thing she had asked of the Lord! God is always right on time. I stood in amazement watching the way God moved in that service. That is my grandkids praying with each other in those pictures! My heart was so full last night I could barely contain myself. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I loved your testimony too!

Hello, I ran across your blog and my heart was warmed at the similarities of our families. We are also a blended family that God has brought together and blessed. We too have babies that have other parents that do not attend church. I was very encouraged to see the beautiful way God is honoring your prayers. May God richly bless your beautiful family!!
