Celebrate with me !!

Today is Me & my Loves 5 th Anniversary,

On Aug,20,04 We went to the court house

& got married ,2 weeks after I was saved.

Can you tell how happy he is ?:) ?:) ?:)

At the time I didnt care,

All I knew was God had told me to, & my pastor

had talked to me about needing to be, before I got baptized.

I knew that was the next step in living for the Lord.

So during a work day,on a friday,

We knew we had to go fill out some paper work & then

they would set us a date to come back & get married ??

So we thought ??

But do you know our LORD does what he wants to,when he wants to,,

We got to the court house & to our surprise !! they didnt have anybody up there at that time,

she said "we can do it NOW"," Fill out this" "Come this way".

(he also dont give us that time to talk our way out) Is'nt JESUS wonderful !!!

We got it done, one of Gods childern one not,,not yet!!

I always wanted a church wedding, so we came up with the idea

the next year our first ann, would fall on a sat, so we would renew

our vows.

...So Thats what we did....

It was wonderful, because this time he was saved.

It takes GOD to do this...

WE celebrate alot this time of year,,

Me being saved aug 6,we stated our life together in

aug-13 yrs ago,,we got married in aug, & Jim will be saved

5 yrs in oct.

Have I said this already ?? Is'nt JESUS wonderful!!


I am married to the love of my life,

....Because of Him....

The night we got married we said every year (the Lords will)

we would take atleast aday (24hours) to spend time together, (you know mama, daddy time,no kids)

The first year we went back & stayed in the same cabin,in pine mt Ga,

the next year we didnt have the money to go anywhere so we got a sitter & stayed at the house.

Last year we went in April,cause it was in the middle part of the year before our ann,cause we didnt get to go on our ann.(that doesnt make any sense, could 'nt think how to word it)

Anyway,,this year in the morning we are going to North Carolina & staying till sunday morning,

I know my man is the best !!:) LOL

It always helps to get away,but it sure helps to spend that away time with the one you love,.

I'm not a bad mom,I learned a few years back,that time away not only is good for you, its good for them..

So I'm going to have a good weekend ,Hope you do the same.

Will post pictures when I get back.

(take a few min to do something nice for you husband,they do have to put up with us right?)

......ALWAYS THANKS FOR READING......

Oh I also added a knew side bar,for prayer reqest,if you would like for me to help you pray for anything I will do so & add it to list.

5 years ; part 2..

This week I have just been thinking on the 5 years I've been saved,,Last thursday it had been 5 wonderful years,(scroll down & read that post if you hav'nt already). On friday night we was in church-what a wonderful place to be on a friday night !The message was about what he "The LORD" went through for us before he ever got to the cross.It was wonderful...


It got me thinking on how lost people dont see it & how I didnt,,but I really got to thinking on people that say they are saved & not caring,,you see five years ago is not even a part of my life anymore ,& yes it is my past & I NEVER want to forget what I was before him..But I never want to go back,,but some do ,,go back to their old lives after living a christian life for a while or they say they got saved & never change.

I dont understand ? I'm not saying those people are not saved(we have to keep Lot in mind if the bible didnt tell us he was saved I would have to say he's not ) & I know people get saved & just get saved. Never do anything for the Lord or want to do anything for him .

Thats the part I dont understand, all he went through for us ,so we can be saved.

I owe(indebted) my life to him,my kids lives & everything I have, Its His....


As I write I'M going to include pictrues of my life now, how could I ever go back ????????



I got a phone call on yesturday from a dear friend I love some much,

Stevie Moon, --the one in white--



Look at that face,,does she look happy to you??

she called me yesturday, so happy saying do you know what today is?

"Today is the day the Lord saved me 2 years ago"

But you know why her day is even more special to me & my husband,

because she was saved in Sunday School while my husband was teaching,ok preaching! its hard for him to teach...I'm not saying that just because it was Jim,,but when you see God use someone you love it sure helps..you know??



I the past few weeks have been told & heard somethings,

that some old friends dont understand like,why cant you go certainplaces ?,why dont you come around ?, why do you stay away from certain people that you would at one time go around ??

They think I have been told by my husband or my Preacher I cant go & do these things..

Its not that,,,I DONT WANT to do the things that I did at one time,,

My life is Great!!

I love it ..

Do I get down & have bad days,? sure I do,

Does things go wrong ? All the Time,

Do I hurt over this kind of talk,from people that is suppose to love me & be my friends till the end ? Feels like someone has cut my throat,

But I cant go back just because of a bad day,or because they dont like who I am now.



I dont need the devil telling me,when I hear all this stuff,how much better my life would be if I would just go back.

And trust me he does just that,!,when I heard all of this a few weeks ago,

the next week we started having love ones put in the hospital, one a week for 4 weeks.

He started to tell me I could just go back, to drinking,to that care free world of sin.

And things would'nt be so bad . He was even telling me ,my church dont care what I go through, your friends now or just your friends because they have to be.

And YES I was thinking about it all,Why do I go on? What do we get out of all this? Could it be better ??


Does my church care like they say they do ????

I got to where I could'nt even pray,,

thats what the devil will do !!



But then last week came;)

And before I knew it the LORD was bringing back to my mind

5 years ago, when I was lost & on my way to hell, with the devil.....

I started to think of the cross, & how I could not have gave my son to die for those who dont care....could you???

I thought how I have seen sooooo many blessings,in not just my life ,but the lives of others.

How Stevie couldnt even hold her head up the morning she was saved,,but God saved her & now she can hold it up proudly & worship Him...

O WHAT A SAVIOR !!! is mine..

I thought of Jim, he didnt even like me, but now he will do anything for me.

My childern, they hate to be sick now because they hate to miss church..






How do people go back ??????? I wish I knew,,

I would hate to know,the devil got me to go back because of his mind games & I missed out on Gods blessings,on seeing another friend or family member be saved, or seeing one of these loved ones be healed because of church & friends prayers..

My prayer is Lord keep the devil away,

not just from me but from your sheep,

I love You LORD !





Each day that I liveHe gives more than I need,

I could never describe His goodness to me,

You ask how I make it day after day,

There's only one thing I can say,,



Its been a long journey but I have been Blessed

Walking with Jesus I have no regrets

He is so good to me & I must confess

The way has been long,but I'm Blessed



All that I need I find at his feet,

When I hungry he feeds me with manna so sweet,

When my soul is weary I find peace & rest,

All I can say is I'm Blessed,



Now I've had my share of sunshine & rain

Days filled with laughter/nights filled with pain,

But for every mile I've traveled this way,

The journey gets sweeter each day.





.........Tell the LORD today what he means to you.......you need it more than he does....

............you see he dont need us we need him !!!!..................:)

Its been five WONDERFUL years !:)

GAL,2,20-21 Iam crucified with Christ nevertheless I live;
yet not I,but Christ liveth in me ;and the life which I now live
in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I do not frustrate the grace of God ;for if righteousness
come by the law ,then Christ is dead in vain...
You see,5 yrs ago today before 8pm, I was on my way to hell.
and to be honest at the time I did not care.
but there is a GOD in Heaven who did care for me.
I'm going to give a bit of my testimony,
and I hope you enjoy it.
Before sept 03,I thought I was saved
that month the Lord took someone out of our family
as fast as you can blink your eyes,it was my sisters fiance.
they was so happy onemin,& he was gone the next.
Days after his death I began to hate God & wondered
how can he do that to us ??So for 11 LONG months
I was a person no one wanted to be around.
as the days went on I just got worse. Me & Jim was
already just live in buddys ,didnt love each other the way we should have.
So we was BAD off by this point !! nothing was going right.
but little did I know they was a church praying for us (my daddys church)
The pastor at the time was Bro Michael Andrejewski,
He & his wife Ms Nina had such a burden for us that now when I
think back on it, I think they must have been praying Lord
whatever it takes. But I sure am thankful now..
I went to church on fri aug 6th,it was the last night of revival
meeting, and the only reason why went to church that night
was because my daddy said if I came he would take my youngest
home with him ,jim had the boys,so that told me afterchurch I could
go do what I wanted (no kids). I loaded her up, called my sister told
her I would be there around 9 to party with her.?.?.?.?
BUT GOD butted into my plans,I'll be honest I cant even tell you
if anybody else was there,I just heard a message & in that God told me
if I left that church unsaved I'd die & go to hell.
I guess you know what happened after that.
That night not only did he save me ,he told me I was about to start living,
& that my husband was the one & we needed to marry ? WHAT ? yes thats what I said !!
We had always said we would never marry,but I knew what God told me to do.
so 2 days later I told Jim we had to marry or I had to leave,,
And to my surprise he said ok..WHAT ?? yes i said it again.


This is us 2 weeks after i was saved,,I'm so happy,
but cant say the same
for him,,,look at that face ??
we had went to the court house on aug 20th
in the middle of a work day & got married.(one year later on our ann we had our ann we had a church wedding)

I hope you understand why I make such a big deal out of
this day,,
I was a drunk ,a drugy,not a good mother ,not a good friend ,
not a good anything..But GOD put us into the hearts of some people
that loved us ,so they would pray for us day & night.
its funny Bro Michael told us later when they first took the
church & meet my Daddy, my Daddy said I got some family that needs to be saved!!
I'm so THANKFUL for my Daddy & Bro Michael & Ms Nina.
I know they didnt save me, but God does use his people.
This is the things I get to see now !!:)


Happy children,,

My Husband is a preacher,
Oh I didnt tell you, the Lord saved him 2 months later .
called him to preach 9 months after that. THANK YOU LORD !

We are so in Love :) :)


I get to see people pray together ,& not only that I 'm now
apart of praying for the lost....

My God has put a family together, that nobody thought
was possible...not even me.


I'm not the perfect christian, but I would like
to be,, I owe him my everything ..
Rev,22 -4 And they shall see his face....
cant wait to thank him.....
" I've got so much to thank him for"
Thank you ,to all who prayed for us
its been 5 WONDERFUL years..!:)

...... thank someone today,someone who has helped you in your life ......
