The Beginning of it All


This month marks 13 years since I embarked on my YWAM journey. Thirteen Years!
YWAM taught me to hear the voice of God. This is the basic foundations to walking with God. We can talk to Him all we want, but if we can't hear His voice, what's the point?

This year, 2010, will be a year of listening, growing, grounding, giving and sacrificial service to honor my God.

This year, my family will come to know God, my neighbors will see the light of salvation, my students and fellow teachers will see the joy of the Lord. This is the year of the Lord's favor!

Proclaim it over your family and life. God promises His favor. Believe it. Greater things are yet to come...

Christmas 2009



This Christmas was quiet and meaningful. We declined many offers of Christmas parties and decided to stay home and do things with each other and the kids. I wanted the month to be celebrated how it should, with reflections of who Jesus is.

When we get so busy and distracted we lose sight of this.

I wanted this Christmas to put my heart and spirit on the right path for the new year.

I pray as the kids get older they will have more of a sense of who Jesus is and what Christmas means. This year they knew it was Jesus' birthday and they made Him a cake. Next year, I hope they will grow more excited about celebrating Jesus' life as they begin to understand more.
