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!

WE HAVE SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN

There was a story that aired on the news on Monday that this man shot his wife mother in law and 3 sons 7, 12 & 19 the man was a Harvard graduate with his MBA in Finance worked for top 500 fortune companies as a CFO and never had any type of emotional or mental history. He killed his family because he was stressed financially and burdened with the cares of life, he could not bare it and decided the best for him and his family was to die. When I heard the news I was saddened in my heart. Yes, we are all going through financial struggles right now. There was times where I thought how are we going to do this or pay that but my family and I have someone to believe in "JESUS"! We have hope and all we have to do is get on our knees everyday to keep our levels of faith up! Monday night was youth prayer and my husband said Nicole lets go with the boys today so I called up my mother in law and she wanted to go as well. We were in the car and the subject came up about how the economy was going down and what are people going to do when there is no money left or food my boys that are 13, 15, 16 and my niece Megan who is 13 were asking and seemed worried my mother in law mentioned it was going to get worse and many stories similiar to the one of the man killing his family are going to occur. I was hurt on how I can hear in their voices the concerns of life and they are all only teens. I turned around and all I could say was YOU BE GRATEFUL THAT WE ARE A CHOSEN FAMILY OF GOD! We have someone to believe in we have someone that we can take our needs to and he will provide, we have someone that we can cry to and in need he will comfort us and love us and show us the way! I thought my God if that man only knew about You had You in his life he would have not gotten to the point of death! I know that sometimes our teens or adults in general may think wow living for God is so hard you have to give this up and that and were always in church etc..........All I can say is TRUST ME ITS GONNA BE WORTH IT ALL THAT BEAUTIFUL HAPPY DAY! We got to Pastor Clarks church where my brother in law and sister in law are the youth pastors and the Holy Ghost fell in that youth service and the prayers that went up to God and the testimonies was so good. It gave my kids the strenth they needed till the next church service. In this day and age we need to find ourselves in church on our knees and out witnessing to the lost that need the hope and belief we have! Not everyone has someone to believe in I am glad that we do! JESUS CHRIST!
