"Here comes the joy!"

This past year has been, well, let's just say interesting. Ok, interesting doesn't really sum it up, but I don't want to unload on you all. We are in revival right now, with Bro. and Sis. Wells (think that is the right spelling) and we've had some incredible services. There is never a dull service at The Rock Church though, but somehow it has been different. The only way I can describe it is to say it feels like the "old" Rock Church. Some may understand that, others will wonder. Tonight was no exception, the presence of God moved in a beautiful way. Towards the end of the service, I sat there thinking, "I don't want to move or leave this atmosphere." Though we've been wounded, as a body we are still united and standing, and God is moving in our midst. While still sitting there, a song came to me that our pastor and a few of the men used to sing, and all I can remember of the words is "It looks like I can feel the breaking of day, oh the joy...", and I can't remember the rest of the words. I think this is a Winans song, but no matter, it is stuck in my head. There is a part in the song that says, "Here comes the joy" and I believe that is what is happening, we are returning to the point where we received our joy and claiming it again. I am looking forward to what God is about to do!
p.s. Does anyone remember this song? If so, what are the rest of the words?

Oh I may not be able to see it,
but in my heart I do believe
that Jesus, He knows all my troubles
and soon He's coming to see about me


I can feel it way down in my soul
ever since I let God take control,
for I know it's...

On the Way

Im so thankful to be one of those who understand the "old building spirit". Often I have longed for the good ole days of the old TRC ... the intense, altar packed, crazy loud, shouting services ... when describing a visitor all you did was mention who's area they sat in ... Ah yes, the "old chuch spirit!" This revival has been incredibly powerful but in a deep spiritual way. For me the most fitting word to describe what it has done for me is healing. I'm so very thankful for their ministry, prayers, and preaching! It's time to get strong, move on and create an incredible and awesome "new building spirit"!!!! Can I get an AMEN?

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
