Winding down this 17day vacation that my boys and I have been on here in Virginia. As I sit here I have a hundred and one things that are racing through my mind. Can't figure out exactly what to write about but I do know I have a lot on my heart. My first blog was about God taking me somewhere but little did I know that this trip wasn't just about where God was taking me but where He was taking my boys as well...
My youngest son (age 12) shared a letter he wrote to his father. I asked him permission if I could share this letter here on my blog... He's reply was "yes, of course"... take a read..
Dear Dad,
First of all I’m very thankful that I am home. God is really doing something in my life. In these past few weeks God has really spoken the word to me. When I would be sitting in the service I just see everyone fade away and the Lord was just speaking the word into me. I know God has greater things for me. The pastor over here has lately been speaking on Destiny, and I have been learning from that.
Here is a couple things you should try to keep in mind...
-You should not go for the prize, you should try to reach the mark
-You have been designed to dominate
-If you trust in God He will put everything in the right place
-Prayer won’t change a person but it will change their will
-God should be worth everything to you
-Stop talking about what’s happening and talk about what’s coming
-If God tells you something try to train your ears to hear the next word because God might change His mind
-And if you receive a sovereign word once you get on your knees and pray He will change His mind
-Destiny is placed in your spirit
So I hope you have learned something from that. But Dad I know God has greater things for you. I know you’re going through a rough time right now but once you get on your knees and pray your spirit will be lifted and God will take you to your mark. I’m telling you dad God is the only way you will reach your mark he has greater things in store for you. I hope you will take the bible and read it. Once you reach your mark dad, everything will be right there on the table for you. Heaven will not be heaven without my dad so from this day on I hope you will except the Lord as your Lord and Savior. Don’t give up.
My son, tomorrows generation, pastor, preacher, prophet....God is taking him somewhere... He WILL get there!

I will get there...
God is taking me somewhere... I will get there...
Here is my story...
I am a worshipper. I guess I could just end this blog right there because that is my story. It's very simple too... God is worthy to recieve glory and honor and power...He created all things...And it's only by His will that we even exist and were created -Revelation 4:11 Now has it always been easy to do or even understand? I would be lying if I said yes... God was taking me somewhere though...
I have learned that the more I worhsip and praise Him the more He reveals His identity and character to me. If you would have sat me down when I was sixteen and told me all that God was going to take me through and what He was setting me up for, I would have laughed and said you were crazy! And I would've laughed only because I didn't fully understand that ..."His ways are higher than my ways and His thoughts higher than mine"... Isaiah 55:9 Even the things that my imagination could come up with my God has exceeded them all!
This one thing was for sure though...that no matter what, I was going to worship Him and give Him praise. Even when it seemed that the world was closing in on me and physically and emotionally I felt like giving up I knew in my heart that if I could just get to the place of worship that He was going to make everything ok. And even if He didn't make things ok right then and there I knew He was going to give me the strength to get through it. You see God was taking me somewhere...
Life hasn't been easy for me and I can still hear my mother's voice telling me at a young age "Honey... life isn't fair but even when it's not God is still good". I can now smile in agreement as God continues to reveal Himself to me... You see if my heart would have never of been broken and shattered I would've never known Him to be my Comforter... And if I never would've had no money in my pocket and wondered how I was going to pay the rent or even keep the light on I would've never of known Him to be my Provider... and if I never would've experienced almost losing my youngest son as a baby I would've never of known Him to be the Healer...the more I worshipped Him the more He kept showing His faithfulness to me... You see God was taking me somewhere...
I stand here in awe of what God continues to do in me and where He is taking me... I think that God sometimes likes to leave us speechless as He spins you into the destiny He has for you! That's what has happened to me this past year...and even as I write this blog I have this smile on my face and I even chuckle a little as I see God shift the universe to set me up for His assignment. As you continue to follow me on this journey you'll understand a little better. I love to sing this song by Martha Munizzi "Amazing Love"... Here are some of the lyrics that have been my hearts anthem: "What He's done for me is so amazing. The love He has for me I cannot explain. All I know is I once was lost but now I'm found I was blind but now I see and I know He will do for you what He's done for me." I can't explain why He loves me but I'm so glad that He does! I have become so desperate for more of Him to the point that it will keep me up at night. I know that there is more to God and not everyone will understand my frustration to wanna know Him more and not everyone will understand my desperation to know Him more and I'm ok with that.
"Desperation will cause you to move into places in your life that you may have to get radical"-(Apostle Kevin). I've experinced that when you get a few desperate worshippers under the same roof, God will completely blow the roof off!! Desperate times call for desperate measures. And desperate measures means to worship God as if no one is watching you. We need to be desperate for God...And I mean a desperation that will cause you not only to "step out of the box but get rid of the box altogether" -(Christina DeLaPuente- Worship leader) ... I dare you to get desperate for more of Him..
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled -Matthew 5:6
You may call me crazy but I prefer you call me a fanatic...
You see God is taking me somewhere...I WILL GET THERE!
