It is now day one of the fast! Before I wasn't excited, but now I am because it is going to be a great growing time with God. It's going to be a challenge but God will be right there with me through it all. Jesus I pray for all of the people participating in this prayer and fasting, that they would seek You like never before and find strength in You. Lord change our lives from the inside out! Let us put You first this year! Psalm 25:4-5 To You be the glory. Amen!

Freedom

Where the spirit of the Lord is

There is freedom

Where the spirit of the Lord is

There is freedom

If you're tired and you are thirsty

There is freedom

If you're tired and you are thirsty

There is freedom

Freedom reigns in this place

Showers of mercy and grace

Falling on every face

There is freedom

Jesus reigns in this place

Showers of mercy and grace

Falling on every face

There is freedom...

I love this song. I find peace in knowing that God is my refuge and I can always escape to Him when I need His strength. Thank you Lord for not giving up on me...even when I want to give up on You....

Happy new year!

I hope everyone had a happy new year! God worked wonders in 2008, it was really an amazing year and was brought closer to Him this past year. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me in 2009! :) love ya'll!

Merry Christmas!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

I hope everyone is having or had a wonderful Christmas! In all the busyness and stress that this time of the year brings, let us remember the real reason for this season and that is Jesus Christ. It isn't about the number of gifts we receive or the amount of money we spend on others but it's about celebrating the birth of Christ and all He has done for us. Let's be sure to put Christ first today and be thankful for all He has done for us. Didn't get that gift you wanted? Doesn't matter. Because Jesus Christ is all we are going to ever need, ever. Focus your eyes on Him because He is the reason we are even here. He is the greatest gift we will ever receive and He goes above anything this world has to offer. Thank you Jesus for ALL YOU HAVE DONE and your sacrifice. I love you Lord!

The Reality Of Christmas :) Watch :)

WOW! It's been WAY TOO LONG since I've blogged!!

Well, for anyone who reads my blog, I am SORRY! I have been "busy" and haven't had a sufficient amount of time to blog. But I'm back now :) I'm going to try to stay consistent with blogging! I don't even know where to start.... It's Christmas break! yay! Can't wait for Christmas :) 

Well, my initial reason for blogging is because I told baby Charley I would! He was born November 3rd, 6lbs, 7oz, 20.5 inches and I've yet to blog about this beautiful baby!!

so here's some pictures of this adorable cutie!!! Kristen and Charles are the blessed parents :) Congrats :) You two are the best and so deserving. 

Charles Anthony Young Jr. (Charley)

Trust in God.

"These things i have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage [cheer up]; I have overcome the world." -John 16:33

With God on our side, how can we lose? -Romans 8:31

"Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Of course not." -Matthew 6:27

*Too often we let our experiences determine the level of our faith instead of letting our faith determine the level of our experiences.

...I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. -Philippians 4:11
