Hey and Merry Christmas to all Bloggers out there,

We just had one of the best Christmas Cantata’s and play ever at FFB.  The person who was in charge this year of our Christmas Program did such a great job.  Thank you Kaye.  Thanks for the time and hard work.  We love you and your family.

Boy to those of you I invited and you could not make it.  You sure missed one of God’s true blessings.  You could feel God’s presence in our little church last night.  I have been really depressed about Christmas, I really needed our play last night.  I as well as so many others forget what Christmas is all about.  It is not the presents we get.  It is about a tiny little baby born in a manager wrapped in a blanket.  It is about him who come to die for our sins.  THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are like me and so many others in this world who gets depressed at this time of year look to Jesus and if you don’t know him give your heart to the LORD and just get on your knees and ask Jesus forgive me a lowly sinner come into my heart and make me new.  Then go tell others shout it off the roof tops let the world know Iam Jesus’s and he is mine.  Praise the Lord I am feeling him with me right now.  Oh how I love Jesus, Oh how I love Jesus, Oh how I love Jesus, because he first LOVED me.

           MERRY CHRISTMAS

                              HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS

Hey,

Surprise I am giving you a new blog.  I have not wrote in a very long time.  I lost our pass word and then I have just been slack.  I hope all the readers out there have a Very Merry Christmas and a better New Year.  I have been going through alot of spiritual battles.  The one good thing in all of it was I knew the Lord was beside me.  In those times that I have sat alone and cried he was there beside me to help me through the hurt and pain.  I know that I am not the only one in our church that is going through battles.  It hurts so bad to see a sister or a brother in christ go through battles.  I just want to hold on to them and tell them everything will be alright.  I want to take the hurt away.  I love all my church family I love them so dearly and when they hurt I am hurting right along with them. I know that God is there with them keeping them in his care.  All we have to do is just lean on his everlasting arms.  God is so good.  I love you Lord Jesus.

I know there is also people out there who at this time of year goes through depression.  I do, but praise God the Lord brings me through.  My Dad has been gone from the earth for 11 years and my mom just 2 1/2 years.  The holidays are hard because I know that on Christmas day our big family day they want be here.  I thank God for all the family and friends who come to be with us and make it special.  I just want to tell all of you who may read this and are hurting lean on JESUS he will give you the comfort and the strength to get through all you are going through.  I am closing with the most important thing about this season I just want to  say.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY  JESUS!!!!!!!”

Good afternoon all,

God is so good.  We had our pastor’s appreciation for 30 years of service for the Kingdom of God.  I was blessed by how well it went.   Thanks to all that was a part of this special day. 

Yesterday David and I went to a reunion for the Navy Seabees this was our second year.  We were able to see alot of friends and miss a dear friend who went home to be with the Lord the first part of the year.  His dear wife was there with pictures that was taking at the celebration of their wedding anniversary.  In talking with her I can tell how she missed her beloved husband.  We rode with friends and fellow members of our church up to the reunion.  We had great fellowship. 

On our way home from Barry and Mabel’s a song came on the radio and after the song went off it got me to thanking and the next thing I know I was crying.  I talk to David about what I was crying about.  I really don’t want to go into it with everyone.  To make a long story short God came on the scene and opened my eyes to some things.  You know he is my friend and he is always there to hold my hand.  To whisper in my ear I love you my child and I will never leave you or forsake you.  Isn’t that wonder God is and always will be my friend.  I never have to worry that he will turn his back on me.  He is always on the scene as soon as the first tear drop falls to wipe it away.  LORD I love you and cherish the relationship I have with you.  Thank you for all you do for my family and me.

I know this was short hopefully there will be more to say next time.  Look to Jesus all, Look to Jesus

Good Morning All,

I just wanted to blog about our youth day out at the Natural Science Center in Greensboro, NC yesterday.  I know that it was on a Sunday but what better day to spend with our youth.  We had our services and then afterward we ate pizza in our fellowship room.  We then left and went to the Science Center.  We were in groups but we mostly stayed together.  I have been alittle under the weather and probably could have stayed home, but my commitment to our youth and most of all to our LORD is more important to me than pain.  If I had not gone I would have missed such a blessing.  To see the looks on our young people’s face brought such joy to my heart.  We saw tigers, owls, wallabies, ferrets, and a most dreaded thing snakes.  I stayed away from those things so my helpers took care of the young people seeing those exhibits.  I am so terrified of those things.  Our youth group range from 4yrs to 24.  They all loved the trip.  We left alittle early so we could go get ice cream at McDonalds. They even got to play there to.  We went back to the church and our younger kids are in choir their leader Jai practice a song they are going to sing this Sunday at Old Fashion Sunday.  I am not telling their song so if you want to know what it is you will just have to come and hear them sing. Services start at 10:30 we are going to have singing, food, and alot of people dressed up in old attire. Our church is located at 2010 Colby St in Greensboro,NC behind ToysRus off of High Point Rd.  Hope to see you there.  Sunday was a very blessed day for many of us.  I love our young people and I am committed to do what I can for any of them.  They know that I am a phone call away.  Not many call me.  I do have one that has and will always be a blessing to me.  She has reached out and we have talked.  Her precious baby girl is at home with her now.  She still has a long road to go.  I hope to one day be her youth leader if not when I pass the torch on to someone else they will get to have the blessings of watching her do things and if these old bones will let me I hope to at least watch.  Love to you my young people, grow up to live your life for the LORD.  Show satan you have NO room for him.  I will always be praying for you.

                                                 Your Youth Leader

Hey to those out there who read our blogs,

GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had great services Sunday morning.  Our associate pastor brought a really good message.  We had really great singing in our choir and by Kaye and  Sara two of our very talented people at church,  and at the closing of service we had alot of people in the altar praying with Kaye and my husband singing a wonderful song “Please Search The Book  Again”.  The words to this song has a great message from GOD in them.  If your name is not there than your not going to enter into HEAVEN.  How sad it is going to be for those who don’t except CHRIST as their saviour.  And oh how sad it is going to be for those of us who are not about our FATHERS business.  When we have to stand before GOD and give account for the things we have not done for him.  I have not been perfect and while I am here on the earth I probably never will be, but I strive to be what GOD wants me to be.  I have been reading my bible serious reading the past 2 weeks.  I have study guides to help me to understand something that I may not understand in GOD’S word.  I have been so truly, truly blessed by all I have read.  I am now starting Revelations a book in the bible I truly don’t understand.  I know what it means about some of the end times, but there is alot there that I still don’t understand.  Hopefully by the end of this study I will know more about the book of Revelations.   Love to all our bloggers at the church and love to all of you that read our blogs.  Signing off  until next time.

Good Morning,

Well it was another great Sunday at Faith yesterday.  The pastor is bringing such wonderful messages from the pulpit.  My husband taught on our series of Joseph in the adult sunday school class.  The one thing that the pastor and David both brought out was tithing not tithing of our money but tithing of our time.  How many of us are really so busy that we can’t take time for Jesus to do his work.  The statements that were made really hit me right were it should have in the heart.  People look at all the time Jesus gave for us.  No it was not done in our time, but Jesus paved the way for the modern day people so that we could be about his works.  If we as christians don’t reach out to the lost who is going to.  Jesus saved us not so that we could just sit around and wait for others to lead lost souls to him.  I have been so blessed the past few weeks just by picking my bible up and reading GODS holy words.  Last night GOD reminded me of how much time I had wasted by not reading my bible like I should be.  Over the past 2 weeks I have learned alot about church, my salvation, prayer and today’s study is on someone none of like to even thank about.  That’s right satan.  This one demon blinds so many people.  I have learned through mistakes that what satan offers isn’t what I want.  I live for the one true GOD, my saviour, Jesus, counselor, King of Kings, and LORD OF LORDS.  Thank you Jesus for your time and thank you for not giving up on me.  I love your LORD, I love you LORD.  Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus Just to take him at his word.  So true so true isn’t it.

Well services were great again last night.  Preacher keep up GODS great work.   We had a very very special vistor last night.  Our newest member at Faith.  Little Amber is out of the hospital and at home.  It was so great to see GODS little miracle last night.  She is such a doll baby.  She still has a long road ahead of her so does her mother Heather and her grandparents.  All who may read this blog.  Keep them in your prayers.  It is so wonderful to watch GOD work.  We are so truly blessed in our church.  The people are loving, caring and great.  We all have our troubles but when we come together in GODS house it seems those trouble melt away.  GOD is so good, he is so great and you just can’t beat a man who would send his son to die for someone like me.  GOD saw good in me when I could see no good in me.  GOD loved me when I could not love myself.  Thank you JESUS for dying on the cross and shedding your blood for this lowly wretch.  Thank you JESUS!  Thank you JESUS. 

                                          Your lowly Servant

Hallelujah what services we had yesterday morning.  The pastor brought a great message in the am service and a great message that was so up lifting in the pm service.  You could feel GOD’S holy presence in our church last night.  I have been going through so many things that I was so tied up in me.  Praise GOD after last night services I am going to try to make changes in my life.  I had not realized how negative I was becoming until yesterday’s services.  You know if we would just give JESUS our problems we would all be much happier people.  I love my church family and I want to be there for all that I can be.   I want to be the LORDS worker.  I want to see my lost family and friends saved.  I want to stop the negative attitude I have had lately.  I really don’t like who I have been.  I am looking forward to being more postive.  I know that GOD loves me know matter what, but I want to be a child he can be happy with.  Fellow readers it is not alway roses, but praise GOD when it is not we have someone who will never leave us or forsake us.  When we are late he is there on time every time to hold out his hand and say my child give your problems to me and I will give you rest.  I have missed so much by not picking up my BIBLE and reading GODS HOLY WORDS every chance I have been giving.   I am trying to stop letting the things of this world stand between me and my GOD.   If you are lost listen to the words of all the bloggers in our church listen to all that JESUS has brought us through Don’t You Want The Same Peace in times of trouble.  Don’t You Want To Know The LOVE of JESUS.  Just ask him into your heart, ask for forgiveness of your sins.  Then when you have done this tell eveyone you can tell.  Pick your BIBLE up read it listen to what JESUS is saying to you.  If there is something that you don’t understand ask another Christian or your pastor.  I am here all you have to do is comment and I will get back to you.  JESUS LOVE YOU.  BE HIS TODAY

Hello,

It has been awhile since I have blogged.  Our Pastor Vic Redding has ask for us to continue blogging, because there maybe someone out there who is wanting to accept the LORD and by hearing what we as christians sometimes face may help them to make GOD their choice.  I pray that something that I say in my blogs has and will reach the heart of someone out there.  First Pastor I would like to say I’m sorry for not blogging sooner but most of all I apologize to you LORD for failing to do your works.  I am at this moment going through a hard time.  I really don’t know why.  Satan knows what he can do to play with our minds.  I don’t like the way I feel.  But an  e-mail I got today helped me alot.  It let me know that GOD is always always on the scene.  All you have to do is call his name.  I am sitting here crying at this moment, because I know my LORD is so good.  I read Heather’s e-mail about Little Man.  At one of my visits to see Amber and Heather I got to meet Tammy Little mans mother.  I had prayer with her.  You could tell how much she loved her precious litte boy.  Heather has called me and talked to me alot at times when it has been hard for her.  I felt that I had not done much to help her.  This young mother has seen so many precious little babies go home to be with Jesus.  In her blog she referred to something I had relayed to her that my husband said.  He was talking to a fellow co-worker about the death of his little girl.  David’s one statement to him has touched my heart and as I read Heather’s blog I see that it has touched her heart too.  David made the simple statement of “We all have a purpose in this life and when we meet our purpose God calls us home.  I hope that if there is anyone out there reading this I beg you if you do not know the LORD ask him to be your saviour today don’t wait fall to your knees right now and ask GOD into your heart.  This is the only way that when you get to your purpose that you will get to heaven.  It is your choice HEAVEN or HELL!  make the right choice.

                      Sincerly Your Sister In Christ
