Can't say how many times I have watched this!! I love it!!

I am so thankful

In just a few more days Michael, Katie, and myself will be getting baptized! We are all excited! We have really worked hard to get where we are in our lives. It is not easy to give up a way of living that you have just become use to. The hardest thing for us would had to be and sometimes still is having faith. It is so amazing how GOD has been to us, just to show us we are doing the right thing. Last night Michael and I were talking about how we would be right now if we did not have God in our lives and I would be a wreck. I am a worry wort!! I sometimes cannot believe that I am not worried. I am just very cool about everything. We have been really broke this week. Michael has not got a unemployment check yet and also has not received his last paycheck but GOD has took care of us. We have managed to pay our bill and we are not starving.
 I have never felt like GOD was truly there for me, but I do now and I am so thankful to him for showing me his love. I don't want to bash Jehovah's Witness but growing up I never felt like I was good enough or that GOD loved me like he did everyone else. I pray for all the children that have to grow up the way I did. I just hope that they too can find out that it is not all about preparing yourself to the end of the world. I hope they to are strong enough to walk into  a church with a open mind and see that you are not going to get screamed at and told you are going to burn forever in a lake of fire. I have been going pretty steady for two years and not one time have I been told that I am going to hell.
 Thank you so much GOD for showing me a brighter way of life. Thank you for answering my prayers. You did hear my prayers of me asking you please show me the way. Thank you so much!

Josh's Baptism

T

The 18 of this month Michael, Katie, and myself are supposed to get baptized and I just seen that I had not blogged about Josh's baptism and how proud I was of him.

For about two years Josh has been telling me he wanted to get baptized but I wanted to be sure he knew what he was doing. I talked to our new preacher about it and Josh had already spoken to him so I felt he was ready. I sure don't want to hold my kids back from wanting to live for the Lord.

 He was so happy!! It was so touching to watch your child do this, I had tears going down my face. I am very proud of my little man!!!! I feel so blessed to have such wonderful kids and it is an even greater feeling to know that they are happy worshiping God!!
Afterward we took him out to eat and he was just so proud of his Bible that he took it inside to eat with us:) I love my baby boy!

Candace Cameron, Testimony, (DJ from Full House) on true and false converts

I have watched this testimony several times!! It just seems so Awesome to me to hear someone we grew up with on TV show there love for Jesus... God is Great!!!

The meaning of Faith

Just thinking about how greedy of a person I can be... You know I am always just wanting money for this and money for that but it is because I just want to be sure my family is taken care of but boy have I got a slap in the face. The past two weeks Michael and I decided to start paying our tithes and that was hard not to mention we have already given up so many other ways we had money or food since we got married. It was scary and still is but we have not wanted for anything. As the Preacher said today in church, Did anyone not have food this past week, did anyone not have a roof on over there head, or how about clothes on our back. Faith is a hard thing to accept and believe but it is like air you can not see it, smell it, etc. It is one of those things that if you really love God and you really want to serve him and you just give yourself to him, HE WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS PEOPLE!! A person of God must realize that money is not everything and when your day of judgement comes your money or nice things will not matter. It is so crazy the feeling that I have for God now!! I love him and I want to tell people, I want them to know how he has changed mine and Michael's life. I know there will be more scary days where I will worry but I am really going to have faith in my Lord and Savior. One more thing the Preacher said today that stuck with me is that when I pray to God I am praying to the one who created everything!!! Why not trust my life and well being with him...I am so very blessed that I found God in my life and I just pray that my faith just keep getting stronger and stronger. Thank You Jesus for dying on that cross so that I can let my past life of sin be the past....

Memebers of the church....

ON 6-6-10 Michael and I officially became members of Mayo first Baptist Church. We are still waiting to get baptized but we have filled out the paper work and been announced to the church. It was really exciting!! This is something that Michael and I really want. We are trying so hard to change every little thing in our life. We have also decided from this day forward to completely pay our tithes each month. 10% just as we are supposed to. We are really just going to rely on God to get us through. It was so crazy that the sermon was actually on how God will take care of us if we just put him first. We are so glad this adventure has began for us and just ready to see where it goes.. I love you my Lord and Savior and I am so glad to have found you in my life....

A change in the working...

I am slowly but surly working my way to getting Baptized, and it is crazy how excited I am. It has been scary getting as far as I am now because I admit it is hard to trust someone you cannot see but I have prayed and I now have faith. I refuse to get Baptized until my life is right because I am doing this for all the right reasons. I got the biggest thing out of the way and that was getting married. I could not be happier to be the wife of Michael Tuck but our issues were financial. We did it, and are changing those last little things in our life and I got to tell you we really are not scared anymore. At first all I could think about was money money money, but I really know that God will take care of us. I know he has helped me so much. One of the biggest ways I can see he is helping me personalty is that I am a person that hold grudges. I can forgive a person but it is so very hard for me to forget but I really have prayed and I can feel how he has helped me with that issue. There is so many other ways I know he has helped me and I am so ready to give my life to my savior. I am so excited to have my family serving the Lord together.
Things I continue to pray about is to let go of things and people. I guess change is hard for me and it is often hard for to let go of people in my life that have always been in my life but I know that everything will work out and who knows maybe if people see how much I have changed my life they too will one day want to do the same thing.
Another thing is the way I worry.. I am always worrying about tomorrow when the bible plainly tells you to just worry about today for we do not know what tomorrow brings and if he took care of the lilies of the Field then he will take care of me if I put him first. It is crazy how much of my time I waste worrying about Christmas for my kids or birthday presents. I pray that I can stop worrying so much and enjoy life a little bit more.
One last thing I hope to change is how shy and nervous I can get around people. I am not shy at all once people know me but when I around new people for some reason I get so shy and nervous and I don't want that. I want to make lots of true friends that love God. It is just hard to do when I become a turtle in a shell. I pray for that as well. I want to meet people and not be nervous.
There is many more things I hope to change but those are a couple of the main things. I know everything will take time and I am so ready to take this new adventure in life. It will be such a great feeling and already is a great feeling to be sitting in church with my kids. I am trying to be a good role model for my kids and I know this is the best way. Thank you Jesus for all you have done for me....
