Summer 2010

June 29,2010~ School starts next month??? Am I just getting old or is life just passing by even faster than ever before? I don't know but this summer has been a whirlwind for our family.

Last week was a transformational week for me and I believe our family is forever changed for the better bc of a Spirit led "Road to Renewal" campmeeting at our church. Dan Bohi was the speaker sent by God and what an anointed man with a burden to wake up the church! It's so true that our churches have been asleep and we have been gradually losing the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Scary~ God plainly showed me that I can no longer try to lead worship or live life without Him saturating my entire being with His anointing. He showed me some areas in my life that I had been slacking in and can no longer allow or the anointing will leave me. I LONG for His anointing in every minute area of my life and I will do anything to have His blessing on me. This is my heart's cry for every single person on this earth and I know that through the power of His Word and through diligent prayer every man/woman can obtain His anointing. Anyhow, I believe that God is pouring out His spirit on His people one more time before His return and I am praying for a worldwide revival. That's why we are here~ To expand His Kingdom~

One thing I've learned this past year is that when you pray for His will-you can end up anywhere. Literally!!! Yakima Washington is a place that I had never seen or been to but in less than 3 weeks our family is moving there to serve at West Valley Nazarene church and lead worship there. Doran will be the worship pastor and together, he and I will be leading the people in music. It is so awesome to be ministering together once again and it just feels right. The peace that we feel in knowing that this is God's divine plan for our family makes this transition so much easier. It is difficult to tell our friends goodbye and know that we won't get to see them every week, but knowing the drive is less than 6 hrs helps ease that ALOT~ I plan on taking frequent trips to the Treasure Valley:)

An exciting event this past week for me has been being able to record in the studio working on my first EVER solo recording! It has been LONG hours and very tiring but what a joy to do what I'm called to do. Singing is not work for me bc I LOVE it so much so the long hours have been rewarding. We are finishing up on August 7th then the next week my amazing hubby is producing along with Randy Jahn getting the finishing touches complete. Last night, I called Doran "Simon Cowell"-LOL~ He is pretty intense and quite the perfectionist but I wouldn't have it any other way bc he knows my voice better than anyone and can get more out of me than anyone can. So, kudos to my honey for being tough on me. The marriage stays at the door and when we go into the studio it is all about business!!!
Remember us in prayer as we start this new chapter of our lives and especially for Courtney and Taylor.....remember those days of walking through the doors of a brand new school and feeling pretty insecure? I'm praying that God brings friends our way so that the kids feel more at home there and will do well in their new school.

Happy Summer all~Enjoy the sunshine:)
