[being]


no internet. no contact. I've been enjoying that for the past couple days. A break from all the crazy life. It's been good over this long weekend to just be. Be at peace, be relaxed, be.

It's been a while since we have been camping (we, as in me with my family) I had forgotten how much I love life in a campground. Every single part of it-even though I didn't say a whole lot this vacation time-I enjoyed every single minute of it. J

Just taking in the smoky air from the campfires and the wild bikes rides with my kids who I love so much. I don't think I have been on that many 'adventures' in a very long time (dangerous trail rides through enemy infested territory....my nephews and niece were a great team)





This morning my mom and I went for a bike ride to the horse camp-a part of the campground dedicated solely to those avid horse riders. It was like stepping into another world there. One of cowboys and hay bails. The campsites are built in with posts for your horse and it's pretty much perfect for those that have their trailers and all.










We left early due to the weather...but it was just as well because mom and I got to spend time in town and all and then came back to enjoy some icecream with dad.

Yeppers, it's been great. Just knowing that He has been enjoying this weekend more than I even have...that thought makes me smile cause I know it's true. He has blessed me in a not so ordinary way over these last couple days. It's something to treasure-this time of just being-being at peace, being with family, being with Him.

great adventure


Saddle up your horses
Started out this morning in the usual way
Chasing thoughts inside my head of all I had to do today
Another time around the circle try to make it better than the last

I opened up the Bible and I read about me
Said I'd been a prisoner and God's grace had set me free
And somewhere between the pages it hit me like a lightning bolt
I saw a big frontier in front of me and I heard somebody say "let's go"!

Saddle up your horses we've got a trail to blaze
Through the wild blue yonder of God's amazing grace
Let's follow our leader into the glorious unknown
This is a life like no other - this is The Great Adventure
Come on get ready for the ride of your life
Gonna leave long faced religion in a cloud of dust behind
And discover all the new horizons just waiting to be explored
This is what we were created for

We'll travel over, over mountains so high
We'll go through valleys below
Still through it all we'll find that
This is the greatest journey that the human heart will ever see
The love of God will take us far beyond our wildest dreams


Great times were had last night for Nate-we celebrated his 21st!
Celebrated with BBQ and of course some pictures...
It's been a great adventure having him up in the ATI dept for the time he has been back from IMI. 

The IMI guys at HQ are going to be making their way back to TX coming up pretty soon. If you haven't heard about IMI check it out! Visit this link to find out more- IMI

the Victory

Where You are is liberty,
Cause You have won the victory,
We're living in Your freedom

We walk by faith and not by sight,
Praise You Lord with all our might,
We're living in Your freedom

Shout it out!
We will sing it loud!
Let the whole world know,
That You saved our,
Saved our soul!

Lord for everything You've done,
We will sing Your praises
Whoa-oh,
Whoa-oh,
We live in the freedom You've won

We will, dance in the freedom,
That You've won,
Dance in the freedom,
Cause You've won,
You have won it all,
Shout it out! Shout it out! 








"It's through our struggles and our hurts that we grow"

The WIT singles conference came to an end this past Sunday. Looking back I am amazed-God was so very good. Seeing lives changed all around me and also my own life.

It was incredible to see the lives around me being impacted by the incredible power of Jesus-lives in the pit and without hope receiving life and hope. Seeing the transition from darkness to light. God is so good.

Pray for those that attended-it's easy when you are surround by those people who have just experienced the same as you did. It's when the rubber meets the road at home. The Enemy wants to come and steal away the truth that was presented to each of those lives-fight hard for the 170 that attended. This is the next generation that no longer has to be bound-this is the generation that can and has broke the bondage of their forefathers.

the Stand

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I'll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered 
All I am is Yours

It kinda sums up all I want to say at this moment. Yesterday was a hard day - the material that was covered was that of exposing sin, becoming broken and open, and taking a stand against the Enemy. 

There are a lot who don't feel worthy to stand today. The fact is, well-we are not in ourselves worthy. But in Jesus Christ we are made holy, blameless and righteous. He covers us with His robes and embraces us with His love. It's beyond humbling and it's the perfect time for the Enemy to invade minds with lies and fears and doubts. 

But today I take a stand against those thoughts, not just for me but for my brothers and sisters that are here.  Pray for this conference-Sunday is comin'

..the Call..

Sittin' here in the auditorium for the singles conference. It's still, quite in here. I know that God is real and alive.  I believe with out a doubt that He is able to move and is already started.


He started when time began, calling us to Him. It's for some a whisper and for others a loud scream-this call on our lives. We are the ones who know how each of His calls sound like to us. The calls are personalized to our individual life, but there is one Call that is the same. This Call rings out through the 'endless ages' and beckons us to come to the Proclaimer. It's the Call of Love-a story of redemption and forgiveness being extended to each and everyone of us.

Have you heard it? Hasn't your heart yearned for it? Listen-this Call is for you
