The more time you spend walking with God, the more FREEDOM you experience. I absolutly love Shawn McDonald's story. The man he was before reminds me of a lot of people I know today, or used to know. I pray that these people will be transformed one day too.
The ways of this world are grabbing a hold
Won't let me go, won't let me fly by
It’s taking it's toll down on my soul
‘Cause I know what I need in my life
Don't let me lose my sight of You
Don't let me lose my sight
Chorus:
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me on down
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground
This world keeps making me cry
But I'm going to try, going to try to fly, GOTTA FLY HIGH
Don't want to give into the sin, want to stay IN YOU ‘til the end
Don't want to lose my sight of You
Don't want to lose my sight
Chorus
I want to fly
Into the sky
Turn my back on this WHOLE world AND
Leave it all behind
This place is not my home
It's got nothing for me
Only leaves me with emptiness
And tears in my eyes
Chorus

I love you all the way up to God
Our hair color may change, but my love for you will NEVER change. 
I can't explain the love between sisters. It's so comforting, knowing that there is a person who will always have your back and your best interest at heart. We are 16 years apart, 1 year more than my mother and I. It's strange to think about that. Sometimes I look at her and I think about what my mother went through. I am 30 years old now and Kadee is 14. When my mom was 30, I was 15 years old. Just knowing that, it's hard for me to get into sister-mode. I jump into mother-mode too fast. But, it's nice to relax into sister-mode and enjoy her as my sister, not my child. My mother has her hands full. I bet she thought her hands were full with me!! But, ohh..things are much different now than they were 15 years ago.

Kadee, respect mom. She deserves it. Love her today more than you did yesterday. There will come a time when you will be able to say, "Remember when you swore I lied to you? Well, I wasn't." But, for now, she is the authority and has your best interest at heart.
You have my heart Kadee, and I love you sooooooo much!!!
Do not complain...
Oh, how hard it is to NOT complain!! I'm a christian, which means I love Jesus with all my heart and I live for HIM. With everything I do, I want to please Him. I don't want to cause Him any grief. God forgive me for my crazy mood swings and attitude, which seems to be controled with a remote, handled by my three children.
I love living a christian lifestyle. My life is more at peace because I have surrendered to God, but I still have those days. Days where I seem to be grasping at anything joyful. I snip at my kids with a harsh tone a little too much.
Thank God, though that I am able to regroup and be filled again with joy that only comes from above. You would think that I would get it, that I would wake up every morning, raise my hands to HIM, and say, "I'm not starting my day until I am completly full of YOU, and empty of me." The only problem is, I don't give God that kind of time in the morning. I'm just being real here. My 4 year old wakes me up every single morning at 7:12am- on the dot, with a box of cereal in hand. I'm not a morning person. I love staying up late, in a quiet house doing whatever I want to do. Sleep is beautiful to me. The point is, I need to give Him that morning time, He's worthy of that. He's worthy of all of my time. So, tomorrow, Monday morning, I am actually going to do what I have always intended on doing. I'll set my alarm, and just have a morning conversation with my father, my Saviour, while the house is still quiet. While I have the time, and the opportunity to hear him. I want to actually hear HIM. I want to wait on HIM.

Make way for the KING
For the one who says there is no God, let him come.
When He returns, he will dry every eye. Praise God! Hallelujah! He is on the throne.
Last night (Friday), Jack Potter ministered to the group who came for prayer. It has been an awesome week of prayer and fasting. Jack showed this video and read Isaiah 40. I thank the Lord for Jack's ministry. He is a prophetic minister of the Lord and has blessed so many people.
On Thursday night, I was at the church praying. I knew that the God wanted me to write down names of people. The people of the church, the people who were there at that moment, people who needed healing, and the unsaved. Anyone that the Lord brought to my mind, I wrote their name down. When I was finished, I rolled the papers up and just prayed over them. Then, the song "We Cry Out" came on and there is one line that was perfect for that moment:
"...Lord you have said
if we call upon your name,
we and our families will be saved..."
I brought the list with me Friday night. I walked the sanctuary for the people on that list. If I know you, you are on that list. I believe that God is going to do amazing things this year. The bible is full of miracles, before Jesus, during Jesus's life on earth, and after. He's not going to stop now!! Oh Bring it Lord! I'm ready.
As Jack was praying for people, he also annointed them with oil. Some even fell to the floor. I witnessed two little girls, maybe 7 or 8 years old, be slain in the spirit. I asked God, "Is this you? Is this real?"
Sometimes, I think people just fall back because they think they have to, or that's what should happen. But, what about these two little girls? I sat just a couple feet from them and I watched them. They seemed to be in a deep sleep. I watch my children and husband sleep, and it was similar to that. I can recognize a sleeping child! They were on the floor for about 10 minutes before they awoke. I knew that this was God working. You just know when you know! Some time passed and the girls were brought to the alter to be prayed over for a second time. Again, they fell back. This time, they were holding hands. They both began to shake and cry. They didn't shake violently, just their hands as they were joined. They both started to cry and sort of stammer...or shiver. We realized that they were being filled with the holy spirit and they were speaking in tongues!! The sight was precious, authentic, and beautiful. To God be the glory!!!

the one who fights for me
even death is swallowed up
in victory because
You are Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy Lord
You are Holy, Holy
The whole earth is full of Your Glory
You are
Faithful and true
in righteousness You judge and make war.
Your eyes are flaming fire,
from Your mouth comes a
sharp two-edged sword
On Your vesture dipped in blood
is written King of Kings
and Lord of Lords
To You be all the blessings,
dominion and power,
for now and forever, Amen.
You are Holy, Holy, Holy
