So, I was thinking. We haven't blogged much on this. But I'm alway curious about what you guys are going through 'n what God is teaching you. Maybe we can use this as a place where we can express our worship? Sort of like bringing what we did in Lifeteams to this. Draw each other to the place of worship that we are at and encourage one another even if we're hundreds of miles away. So we can fill this with expressive pictures we like, inspiring quotes, bible verses of course 'n a simple thing of what we're doing. Maybe a prayer request or 2? or 3 or 100? lol
I can start since I've suggested it, see where this ends up!

A cool song to listen to, if you want to engage;) listen to "Today, I choose you..."
Yesterday I stepped out onto my balcony and what I see before me is a BIG tree that looks like a Bouqet of Flowers. Truely, I felt God saying that it was a gift for me. The beauty of the tree, the nicely colorfully slit clouds on the horizon, the apartment, my family, everything. All is a gift and he wants me to enjoy it. The whole year I been feelin' like the apartment wasn't the right place to stay.. or more so I jus didn't want to stay there. Been feelin like having my own house, my own personal space to personalize 'n make my own.

But God has it as it is 'n had the tree flourish 'n come out with flowers. A huge bouqet right in front of our balcony.

Encouragement: You are where you are for a reason, thank God for all or little that He has for you cause, really, that's all you need. You have more than everything because God is your Lord and Savior.


Jus look to see where your bouqet of flowers is at. Maybe it comes in a different form.
Know God loves you. He sees you. He hears you. There's way provided already for you to come into His arms. There's desire in His heart to protect you and show you what a life of Trust in Him truely means. His heart-song comes out to you, listen and be mesmerized by lyrics and beats He has purposed for you (if that makes sense).

Love you girls, hope this carries on;)

Umm prayer request: Thank you already if you been prayin, I've felt them and feeling blessed. Pray that I sit long enough to listen in on God's voice to whether move or buy a home and what gift to focus on in my own life. And boys. Pray that my attention goes undivided and my focus is fully God.

Love ya Faye,

Faye most dear.

Faye is MARRIED!

Girls, lemme give you the scoop. The wedding was beautiful. Faye was beautiful. Ryan, her new hubby is a great guy. A real prince, who treats her like the princess she is.
Her dress was to die for. The wedding was simple, and lovely. And ladies, when she walked down that aisle, I started to cry. (Of course I did!)

And right now, at this very moment, Faye is in Mexico. Enjoying a hot climate with her hot new hubby... and being radiant and in love.

There's my dish ladies.
So, congratulations Mrs Faye Rutledge! We all love you dearly!

props to the new lifeteamers.

Today begins a new year for new crew of lifeteamers. Welcome year seven!

Dear christ,
Please bring the new lifeteamers closer to you. Teach them to love each other as you love them. Help them to learn and grow, to be humble and teachable. Change their hearts, and let them know that it's you who is changing them.
Thank you for this group. Thank you for our friends who lead the students. Thank you for your presence at the Lifehouse.
In your name.
amen.

What happens if you take a step of faith that GOD didn't ask you to take?

you're not really supposed to do this on the internet.
