The Lord Of Host Is With Us

 Take a walk with me into a Bethel Sunday. The Praise and Worship team were completely tapped in and the songs went hand in hand with what Bro. Jonathan Walker preached today. The title of his sermon was "The Lord of Host is With Us". His main text was taken from Psalms 19:7-11 and Psalm 46. I suggest you watch/listen to the sermon here.  It was an encouraging sermon. I took a lot of notes, but I feel to give you a brief summary, because I really think you should watch it for yourself and truly take in all that is being said. God might not change your circumstances but He will change you if you will let him as you go through the situation. He is your peace. When you have Jesus you have everything. Jesus helps in the middle of your brokenness. God is your refuge and your strength. He is this for you Right Now!  The Lord of Host is with you. He is in you. He is your strength and peace. No matter what is going on, after you have done all you know to do, Be still and know that He is God. He is for you. He is with you. God is good.

I want to ask that you continue to pray for the Davis Family. Sis. Vickie Davis is still very much in need of prayer. ALS is breaking her body down. I believe God is able to heal her. I am asking that as we wait on the Lord to do this, that you pray not just for God to heal her, but to also pray for Pastor as he walks this road with her. Pray for God to be exactly what was preached today. We all walk in faith. We believe for the miraculous. At the same time we are human and in need of the prayers of the Body of Christ. They are true Christians. They are a loving couple. They have given their all to pastoring Bethel and to the Kingdom of God. As they walk this road, they have not lost their joy or their praise. I watched Sis Davis sitting in her wheel chair and her arm just waving back and forth in total worship. Her face was glowing and she had the most beatiful smile.  I ask you to join me in holding them up with our prayers.

The Sound OF Freedom-My Story

Image
 The Sound Of Freedom was released into the movie theaters on July 4th 2023. A friend made me aware of it. I decided to watch it. It's based off of a true story of a brother and sister who were rescued from child sex trafficking. This is not a movie you take young children to. I do strongly recommend that every person who is old enough, to go and watch it. This is very real and it's happening in your world. I think it's time we wake up. Why is this so important to me?  Let me tell you a little of my story. My birth dad abused me as a child. He was also a part of a drug trafficking ring. He was also a part of child sex trafficking. He did this all while being a faithful saint and minister in the church. When I was in 5th grade, I started fighting back and slept with a baseball bat by my bed. He decided he didn't like that and one day he picked me up from school and took me for a very long drive. This was before cell phones. He didn't say a word, he just drove. Eventu

One Month

Image
 RJ and I have officially lived in NC for one month. The people here are very kind and nice. Southern food is absolutely delicious. I can easily find a good place to buy a delicious taco. Coffee places are aplenty. It’s been wonderful to reconnect with old friends and even more wonderful to make new friends. Soon, I will start teaching and RJ will enter into 12th grade. We are currently looking at colleges. I can’t believe we have come to this stage in life. We miss our friends and family in NY. We especially miss Bethel. Our new church home is a gift. I am so thankful for them. Slowly NC is starting to feel like home.  God is good.

When Grief Rolls In

Image
 Grief can rise from the most unexpected times and places. In December, it will be a year that our beloved Sis. Vickie went home to be with the Lord. She has been on my mind a lot lately. Today, as my son and I were cleaning the church, he asked me about washing the baseboards in the foyer. I had a playlist playing on my phone and as he asked, the song changed to a song that Sis Vickie often referred to believing God was going to heal her of ALS.  I just stood in the foyer, mop in hand, and tears started streaming down my face. I remembered finding her on her hands and knees cleaning the baseboards so that it would be clean for a Sunday service. I remembered getting on my knees with her to help. She taught me almost everything she knew. She was going to teach me how to remove the light bulbs from the ceiling, but we never got around to it. She loved Bethel. She prayed fervently for the saints who filled the pews. She wept for those who no longer attended. She taught me how to forgive a
