Come, Lord Jesus!

Today is the Global Day of Prayer.  From midnight to midnight, countries and peoples across the globe will be lifting their voices in prayer for healing, for restoration, for blessing to come.

The Power of Prayer

The “last-week-of-school” parade has begun.  Yesterday it was “last pizza day” and last day of Art (for Trey).  My piano students are finishing up their semester. And today, it was the end of my first year with Moms In Touch. I have been longing for a MIT group at our school since Trey started kindergarten. … Continue reading The Power of Prayer

Threads of Gratitude: Linen Tablecloth Edition

Tomorrow is my annual Music by DESign piano recital.  It’s a formal affair with students dressing up and performing on a stage with a grand piano.  They receive their awards and we celebrate their accomplishments.

Introducing…

This was sent to me awhile back, but I kind of shelved it for one of “those” days. Today is that day. I love this video.  It gives me goosebumps.  Just try to watch it without jumping to your feet and cheering! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvCd_ANIKys[/youtube] That’s MY Jesus!

Overwhelmed!

Today I embark on a new journey – my first ever women’s retreat with McKinney Fellowship! I have heard from our life group that these retreats are not-to-be-missed.  They are amazing.  You laugh, you cry, you create memories and legends that live long after the retreat is over.  I am really looking forward to this,… Continue reading Overwhelmed!

I Am Second

This is my I Am Second story. I have been a Christian nearly all my life.  I accepted Jesus’ sacrificial death for my sins and God’s offer of forgiveness when I was 5 years old.  I was baptized when I was 9 years old.  I grew up in the church, attended Christian schools all the… Continue reading I Am Second
