Worship in Spirit and in Truth
So I have decided to join the choir here in our new church Westover Hills Assembly of God...This past Thursday was my first rehearsal with them and can I just say WOW!?!!
First of all they have a worship team that sings every service, with the choir behind them and a full band!!! It sounds amazing...(not just because my husband does sound) because they are really talented!! Praise the Lord!
So..the first hour of rehearsal is usually separated...choir in one room & musicians on stage rehearsing. So the second hour of rehearsal is everyone together. We rehearsed all the songs and at the last one we just could not stop worshiping the Lord. His presence just took over and everyone was crying and praying and worshiping Him! I have never experienced that at a rehearsal before...I am so glad to be a part of this plan of God for my life!!!
In everything we do, we must remember that worship is key to victory in our lives and without worship we will dry up. Learn to worship in the good, the bad, the hard and the easy! It absolutely NEEDS to be a part of our daily lives.
LOVE THE JOURNEY that God has set before you, embrace it, because it is part of your destiny! WOW!
Here is a challenge for you today: Our music Pastor gave this challenge...When you go to a restaurant and are about to eat, stop & tell the waiter or waitress this: In a moment we will pray for our food, is there anything we can pray for you about? That is a great way to evangelize! You will be surprised at the reaction...Amen!
I will praise you oh Lord with my whole heart, I'll sing praises to your name!!!
GOD! I love you FOREVER #thereisnothinglike YOUR LOVE!!!! Over and over again you amaze me...I can't wait for eternity with you! It's gonna be GLORIOUS!!!! Here is a tidbit of our worship time!

This journey continues...
This journey continues...
Philippians 4:19
"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
It's been a while since my last blog and so many little adventures along the way...
From Orlando, Florida to San Antonio, Texas was 1186.07 miles...and it felt like an eternity...yet God was taking us to our new destination one step at a time. David and I had no doubt about that!
We were able to talk and dream about our future...I really think God loves that!
I have heard it said "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" I thought that was very wise because it's true...God doesn't just throw us into the next phase of life he eases you in, prepares your heart and makes you ready. (Leading to my next post coming soon!!)
Each step you take you learn more about yourself and about God!
Each step takes you closer to your next destination while preparing you mentally, spiritually and physically.
I never thought that I could live miles away from the family, church, and friends that have been part of my life for over a decade. These people helped me through the toughest years of my life and were there when my entire life flipped around on me...I love them. Yet God prepared me and has fulfilled every desire so that I don't doubt my place here and now! Don't get me wrong...I do miss them still...BUT GOD was ready to take me to the next step and knew exactly what needed to be done to get me out here. I had even put certain petitions before Him, things I needed for Him to do so that I could come out here with peace...and of course God almighty answered all of them and more!!!
I know that God finished with me there in Orlando and if I want more of Him, then I have to trust more and walk out in faith. So I obediently did so...
The people in my life (from Orlando) were amazing and whether or not they stay in my life, I am confident that there was a purpose for them & each person marked me in a very different way. I know that I will never have the same friendships but God will provide new ones along the journey.
I am loving life and all that God provides, He truly is the master of all and I trust Him alone as the ONLY GOD and guide in my life!
This journey continues....

The Simplicity of Love
A four letter word that has the power to change the WORLD!
Do we really understand LOVE?
It is a cure for so much pain.
It is a way to live freely.
It is a necessary ingredient for all relationships.
It is the hope for tomorrow.
While people seek sources and things for LOVE....
The Bible says it is the Bond of perfection (COLOSSIANS 3:14)
Here is a song that touched my heart <3... written by Newworldson You say love is just a word, just four letters in a row.
Just a thing that people say, or they never tell you so.
And you use every excuse, to let nobody in.
Now this cloud you bring around, has become your only friend.
And everybody saying that it's going to go away, but it don't go.
And everybody's telling you one day it's going to change,
but you don't know, if it's really going to end.
But there is a way, there is a spark,
there is a hope that you can hold on to.
There is a lifeline come to the rescue,
just like a hand that's waiting for you.
And if you believe in this I promise that you won't be alone.
There is a way, the truth and the life, and the way.
But if love became a man, if the word had flesh and bone.
Would you recognize His face, if He came to bring you home.
You think you're all alone, gotta do it on your own riding solo.
Is there someone you can call, when you stumble and fall?
Cause you don't know, if you'll be getting up again.
There is a way, there is a spark,
there is a hope that you can hold on to.
There is a lifeline come to the rescue,
just like a hand that's waiting for you.
And if you believe in this I promise that you won't be alone.
There is a way, the truth and the life, and the way.
Don't you think your life's worth saving?
Don't you know that love's amazing?
Don't you want to lay your troubles down?
Lay them down.
If I thought love was just a word, I might feel the same way too.
But there's so much more than that, and it's waiting here for you.
There is a way, there is a spark,
there is a hope that you can hold on to.
There is a lifeline come to the rescue,
just like a hand that's waiting for you.
And if you believe in this I promise that you won't be alone.
There is a way,
there is a way,
there is a way.
Truth and the life and the way.
Come on, there is a way.
Truth and the life and the way.
There is a way,
there is a way.
Truth and the life and the way.
There is a way.
Truth and the life and the way.
Ooooh, there is a way back home.
Truth and the life and the way.
