Power Up Conference

We recently had the Power Up Conference at our church! If I had one word to sum it up, it would be...FABULOUS!!!! There was so much anointing, power, and faith in those services! I'm so thankful for the direct words from God that I received!! Thankful for the things that he has ...YET to do! God gave us many words that I have been holding onto! I'm so excited about what God is doing not only in my personal life but in our church! TLC is the most amazing church I've ever been apart of! Can't wait to see how God blesses TLC the rest of the year!

Night of Bowling

I kinda forgot how much I enjoy bowling! A couple weeks ago, I went bowling with our Career group at church. We had a lot of fun together. Funny moment when a song came on and the ENTIRE bowling ally burst into song! Haha

We even decided to do our second game with our opposite hand. Now that was a challenge...but it was fun. :)

Community Health Fair

Our church, The Life Church, had our 1st Annual Community Health Fair yesterday!! It was amazing!! We had so many vendors come, varying from dental exams, spinal checks, hearing checks, Hope House, against violence, music for kids, healing oils, self defense classes.....the list goes on and on.

Here is a little recap video of the success! (Don't forget to stop the music first, at the bottom of the page.)


Thanks, Bro Danny, for putting this video together!

I'm so thankful to be apart of an amazing church who loves to be involved in the Community!!

Life Kidz Worship

We had a wonderful kids revival at church this weekend! Here is a little taste of Kidz Worship-Live!

Driving in The Stake!

Church was FABULOUS today!! Seriously, there really aren't enough words to describe how amazing it was. I love worshipping with TLC! There is so much hunger to get more of God and people ministering to each other. Pastor always preaches with passion but today was OUT of the park!! His message was so passionate. You could see it. You could feel it. It was like you could reach out and grab it and get a tight hold on it. He was preaching on making our stakes deeper. People are watching us and you never know who is holding onto the truth that we have. We need to make sure that our stakes are grounded. If we leave a bad legacy, you never know who it may damage. We've got to make sure that we drive the stake in, deeper and deeper. Pastor used a visual of having a board with several stakes in it and people hammering the stake in deeper. It hit home. The presence of God was thick. It was life changing. A service we will be talking about for years to come! I'm driving my stake in!! Pastor Gleason gave each family a stake as a reminder to keep driving it in. I feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing church. We're so blessed!

Happy New Years

Today was such a fabulous day! There really aren't any other words to describe it. What a way to start out the New Year, but with going to church and worshiping the one true God! Church was fab.u.lous today! Worship was powerful. Communion was incredible. The sermon today was ah-mazing! All I can say is, Wow! I'm so thankful for the
Word that was spoken today! I'm so thankful for the words that were spoken into me and the prayers that were prayed over me today. TLC, you are amazing! Thank you for always being sensitive to the presence of God!

It seems as though everything that was brought forth today was exactly what I needed to hear. His presence was so strong I couldn't help but weep. His love is overwhelming. At the end of service we had foot washing. But not your typical foot washing. *if you know my foot fettish you will understand what I was feeling when Pastor announced that LOL* But it was not your typical. We knelt down with each other and began to pray. It was one of the most powerful things. His presence was overwhelming and amazing!

I know I've said how much I was looking forward to putting 2011 BEHIND me. And I am definitely thankful for yet another year. But you know. No matter what happened in 2011...all the good, bad, and ugly. All the happiness, all the pain, all the tears, the mountain tops, the valleys; if it hadn't of been for each of those seasons-we wouldn't have learned anything. Things happen for a reason. God knows exactly what He is doing. And if we hadn't of gone through what we went through, good or bad, we wouldn't be a better person today. We grow from our seasons. This goes along with what Ken Cantrell said today...and it convicted me. So yes, thankful that 2011 is behind us, but we are still BLESSED!!!

After church, we had to have another last minute photo op before everyone left town again! Never mind the red eyes and puffy cheeks. :)

Live in the City

Our church hosts "Live in the City" every year! One reason is because we want to go beyond the walls of our church and reach out to our community! We had such a wonderful turn out at this event!

He Holds our World!

If you know me well...you know I am totally into music. I. Love. Music! There is something about it that is so calming. I am very involved in the music department at my church and I absolutely love every single minute of it!

I am so in love with this song right now. So very thankful that God holds our world in His hands!! He never ever fails us! Even if things don't always go the way we think they should go, He is always on time! He knows exactly where we are and where we need to go. He holds OUR world in HIS hands!! He loves us so much! He will never let us go but always hold us right where we ought to be!

Honoring the Smalleys!

This was a very special night! The Smalley's Life Group honored them for their years of service. It was precious. Although I am not apart of their Life Group, these two people hold a very special place in my heart. I've adopted them as part of my family. Love you very much Mom and Pop Smalley! So thankful that God placed you in my life!

She was very surprised as she walked in the door! :)






Our awesome Pastor!
This was precious! I love the family of God!

He was leading worship! :) Videos to come!




Awe!! Aren't they precious!

Videos will be coming of worship service!
