Right now, I am listening to Hillsong’s Might to Save, barefoot in my office. i just completed my time line that was do Monday and feeling mighty accomplished. Excited about all the promises God has made and how quickly he has followed through with each and everyone of them. I am a little sad that my pink ribbon bagels from panera bread are gone, but its worth it cause they were good. Ballet starts Saturday and I am thinking maybe I should really buckle down on preparing for that. No, not right now…..

Our block party was today. It was grrreat! It was a wonderful time to spend with friends, family, and most of all strangers. Our church is located in Downtown Dayton in between the county jail and the main Bus stop. It was a prime opportunity for us to minister today and win souls for JESUS. I can say God was AWESOME, the bomb, he blew my mind and so on and so forth. Words can even describe how God moved in the hearts and minds of the people. God really moved and I look forward to working with our partner church again (November) it’s coming….. They were truly a blessing to us.
BTW, I can honestly say that since I was ordained as the A.P. (Administrative Pastor) I have learned that you really have to thank your leaders and let them know that you appreciate them. So in that regard, I want all the leaders at Word of faith to know I appreciate them.
I have been blog surfing and I have found several new blogs that I am going to subscribe to. I am always interested in learning new ways to be frugal and save our family money so I have been reading blogs by other women who have seemed to master the art. Here is one I found today, check her out here. I am reading up on CVS-ing from every blog that I have read CVS has the best deals especially when you use your extra care card. There are more things to come and I also have an announcement……. drum roll…..
My blog is getting a makeover….an extreme one….details coming soon. I am so excited.

Okay, Is it me or did this week fly by?
Thursday and Friday I had the opportunity to go to the Willowcreek Summit Conference. It was awesome. Once again Bill Hybels, reminded us that Vision Leaks. So not to get frustrated when one of the people at Word of Faith can not remember where we are going. We got to hear some Axioms and while I was there and I thought of one right off the bat…There is no such thing as common sense.
Craig Grosechel talked about having IT…..I felt so (can’t even think of a word) that all I could do is just reflect on what he said. So may prayer for God right now is God show me if i have IT and if i don’t help me get IT.
Pastor Lyons, Pastor Jamila and I left feeling renewed and refilled at the many possibilities that we have in front of us and plan on showing it to the leaders when it is released 10/06/08. Such an awesome experience for Christians and business leaders alike.
So now we move on, We are preparing the hearts and minds of the people to minister to the people in our church neighborhood. We are having a block party!! It is going to be so much fun!! More info to come….
Ahhhh,
The sleepover for Aaron’s birthday party was last night. We had sooo much fun. They played in the water sprinkler, ate hotdogs, ate cupcakes, them we did a bead craft where we made sports necklaces and anklets and bracelets. Let’s pause here for a minute because believe it or not the boys were more interested in doing this craft than the girls were. The boys were engaged for a full 60 minutes while 30 minutes in the girls were done and off to find something more interesting to do. Next, we are outside playing flashlight tag and roasting marshmallows. we took a neighborhood walk where camp counselor Zakiyah proceeded to get us lost at 11:30p but we eventually found our way back home. Everyone of the children were excited at the opportunity to lay in their sleeping bag and of course we had popcorn and watched a movie. This morning we ate breakfast ( french toast and bacon), decorated visors and each guest was sent home with a sizeable bag of Monkey Munch ( I will post this recipe later).
We had alot of fun and glad that we were able to offer this opportunity this year verses just talking Aaron to his favorite place to eat On his birthday ( which I am still going to do)
I find myself learning new ways to be the mother that he needs not the mother that I had. It’s exciting and I am looking forward to more exciting things to come.

I thought that once the consecration service was over I would have a minute to blog about all the stuff that’s been happening and what’s coming next. That has not been an absolute reality since I am still really busy. I have more birthday parties and services that I have to make sure get off the ground. Hey that’s life.
I am looking for ways to get more readership on my blog before I really start getting down to the grit.
well that’s all for now.
