ROCK A BYE BABY...

I read a story that touched my heart today and it reminded me of a story of my own. Since my daughter Analycia was tiny I would rock her and tell her I would rock her like a baby til she was 18. Its one of our little things. I read that book "Love you Forever" It is a childrens story that made me cry like a baby. If you have never read it, get it! It is a treasure. You will understand my story better to.
About once a week or at least every two weeks my daughter will crawl up in my lap and tell me to rock her like a baby. I do. We both love it for different reasons. The other day I was so tired and she comes running into the room and proceeds to wiggle her way into my lap and I said, "Honey Im so tired not right now, in a few minutes, let me take a shower" She looked up at me as tenderly as she does and says, "But mommy you said you would rock me like a baby til I was 18?" Dont you know I rocked that baby 7 year old until she got her fix of me and moved on.
She melts my heart every time that girl. Then I thought about how Im not gona be able to rock her much longer like that because when she is 12 Im sure she will have a whole new perspective on being rocked by mommy. Lol
Im glad I stoped for the 2 minutes to meet her need and give me a fresh perspective on how every little rock counts....

Mountain Top moments of glory...

Bro Winslow is coming on the 9th 10th 11th and 12th. Thursday and Friday I will be there to witness the miracles of God. He will be in San Jose at Pastor Nelsons church..I'm very excited although I feel like I'm in camp meeting every time I go to my own church. I remember growing up in Bro Nelson's church and my pastor now would come and preach. I'm telling you Pastor Hurst would tear up jack.. Poor Jack. Man if you have never heard the message about Benji or the guacamole message, Brother you have missed out. We have a revival, camp meeting, general conference, because of the times, preacher for a pastor!! Don't be jealous its a sin!! lol I just have to say I have not been so excited to live for God in a long time if ever this excited. I have this "huge" expectancy of great things to happen. I know we don't always live on top of the mountain, but I made it up there today. Everything is so beautiful up here. The presence of God is so close to me up here. I am enjoying my moments of glory and wonder. God is just so awesome to me. Words could never explain how He makes me feel. Ill be back down to the valley again and I appreciate those trips as well because its where I learn and grow. I have to say though I am enjoying this peak for a season. I can just stand still and let God be everything He is to me. I feel so blessed. So privileged to know the Lord. My road has been long and hard and sometimes turbulent. These times of rest for my soul are priceless and precious to me. Its almost like being at the foot of Calvary. I feel like I can ask God for anything and He would do it. God I pray you would place your Divine favor on my family and my church in Jesus name.... That's my prayer today.. For all of you reading this wanting to pop my glory cloud don't worry Ill be back down to the valley in no time. These mountain top experiences are few and far between for me so I'm going to enjoy every second while I can. THANK YOU JESUS for the mountain top experiences and the valleys. I love you...

Pray for you... Ill pray for me...

I was praying on the way to work this morning. I realized it is so important to pray for ourselves. Something had brought back some bad memories and it made me remember what God had brought me from and I prayed " God never let me forget" I would rather God take my life than ever allow me to fall back into where I was. God delivered me from such sin. It is truly amazing. Sometimes we have to pray for ourselves. God keep me in the hour of temptation. Hold me when I feel weak. Protect me from all I cannot see or hear. Hold my hand through the hard times. Guard me from the enemy of my soul. My greatest prayer is " Lord let me not be deceived" "Let me not deceive my own self" I want to stay on the right path. I want to be pleasing in His sight. I need to pray for me because I need to keep a right spirit. I need to pray for me because I need His grace to be sufficient in my life. I need to pray for me because I need to reflect the love of Jesus to others. I need to pray for me because I need Him the most. Before I can love my husband as a christian wife needs to love her husband. Before I can love my child and be the christian example I desire to be. Before I can be a good saint and do the work of God. I have to pray for me. I need His strength. I need His power. I need His faith. I need His guidance. I need to pray that I make it everyday so that I can pray for others who need God to. I wrote this because I realized I am always praying about everyone and everything else and not enough for my own self. I felt a check in the Holy Ghost today about that. I felt a danger in forgetting about myself. Praying for others and issues of life is important and needed, but not more important than my own soul. I have to make it first. Then I can be strong for everyone and everything else. So don't forget to pray for yourself today! You are important! God needs you to pray for you!!!

JUNE 29TH2008

My daughter got baptized today. About 15 of my family members came. Our close friends also attended. It was the first time a couple of them had ever been to a pentecostal church. Everyone enjoyed hearing Bro. Hurst. I was a little nervous but after awhile I said to myself, "Thank God they are hearing the truth from someone besides myself."
My daughter looked like an angel. She is so beautiful. My pastor prayed over her before he baptized her and that meant a lot to me. Now I just need everyone to pray she gets the holy ghost very soon. It is because of my daughter that I am even in church today. I had left for awhile and I told myself there is no way I can raise this little girl without the hand of God on her life. I need God even if it is for her to be saved. She saved my life from being totally shattered. There is not a day that goes by I don't thank God for her. My prayer is that God will help me to be the christian example she needs me to be. One of my greatest desires is to have her covet my prayers as I do my mothers. My mother may have made a lot of mistakes with us growing up, but if there was anything I knew for sure is she could pray and when she prayed things would happen. I thank God that He allowed me the desire to pray like my mother. I know God has a special anointing on my mothers prayers just like Bro. Winslow said. I cherish her prayers and one day I want my daughter to cherish mine. I'm so glad I know Jesus.
