My man is coming home!

My man's plane comes in very, very early tomorrow morning. We are all looking forward to seeing him after a year-long deployment. I must get a couple hours of sleep before his plane arrives so I gotta go....thank you for all your prayers and support throughout the year. We are praising the Lord for his protection and provision for our family during this separation time. Much love to you all!!!

The Truth shall set you free!!!!

Hello again to you all!!

Well it is already August and this month brings my man home, so we are looking forward to him coming at the end of the month.

We have been getting ready for our move. The kids are at Summer Camp this week and next week. So I am getting some time to go through all our stuff and getting rid of things we haven't used or don't need any more.

I was looking through some of our baby boy clothes and just thinking of our lil' boy and how much he has grown. He will be running in daddy's arms when he gets home. When my man left he was six weeks old and not even rolling yet or sitting up. I can't wait for him to see how all the kids have grown and to spend time with us as much as he can before we move....

In other news I have been able to talk with my neighbors about the Lord. A friend of mine is currently staying with us this week and we go to our neighbors houses and visit them and talk about the Lord whenever we feel the Holy Spirit move us to speak. We have been able to plant seeds of the truth and even pray with them.

Just the other day I was at CiCi's Pizza and I felt lead to speak to a manager about the Lord. I told him Jesus loves him and then asked if he had a relationship with him. He began to tell me about how he reads the Koran and he believes the Bible was written by a man. He also said that God was female and referred to her as mother earth....on and on he went about the lies he trully believed in his heart. I shared the Gospel with him and told him I would pray for him. I was once an unbeliever and so I know that Satan has fed me lies along these lines and I believed them. So I will continue to pray for him knowing and believing that he can and will come to a saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. After witnessing to people like that, my faith deepens and the Bible becomes much more real. It says in the Word that Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers and he tries so hard to keep people away from the truth. That is why it is so important as Christ-followers to speak the truth to others. I am afraid sometime to speak about Jesus. Sometimes when I mention His name people roll their eyes or get offensive. But then I know when they do that, His name has so much power because of what He has done on the cross! Our sinful nature does not naturally want to praise and glorify God through Jesus Christ....it's hard to change and it's hard to think of ourselves as sinners. But praise be to God for the Holy Spirit to convict us and to lead us and guide us in the truth. I would not be where I am without the Holy Spirit working in my life.

So I say all this to say that I am praying everyday for the opportunity to witness to others. I am not an evangelist, nor is it a gift of mine to speak in front of others. But if the Holy Spirit moves me than I pray that I am obedient to opening up and sharing the Gospel message. Jesus has called us to do it. I do not want to see anyone going to hell and so I will live each day as if it were my last speaking and praying and believing that God will put people in my path to witness to in hopes of them coming to a saving knowledge of our Creator.

Here's to the truth and sharing the truth with others!!!
