I PASSED!
Thank you Jesus for His success!

I can only do this with Him!
I can officially say that I am graduating!

Praise the Lord!


Yesterday, I had the privilege to say the opening prayer at my school's baccalaureate. It was a bitter sweet moment because I have yet to know my outcome of a very important test tomorrow, but I knew I needed to follow through with this. I am having faith that the Lord will have His way and that whatever the outcome may be, it will be in His hands. I have studied all that I can and taken as many practice tests that I could. It is up to the Lord! So here is my final prayer for the seniors and for this week as I go into some crucial exams...

Lord,

The journey you have brought each one of us on is more than we could have ever imagined. As the class of 2011, we have shared a multitude of laughs, a handful of tears, and an overabundance of memories. David said in Psalms 118:5&14 that “In my distress, I prayed to the Lord and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.” Just like you were David’s strength and you gave him victory, I know you have and will do the same for each one of the seniors who will walk across the stage next Saturday and receive their future blessing. Lord, I thank you for being our guide and for allowing Oklahoma Wesleyan University to bless each of us in a way that is individually designed for each person. God, this is where we continue our journey. This is not a stopping point for us but just another step into the plan you have etched out for each us. For blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to prayer – who trust beyond hope when all means have failed. Beloved Father, you have never failed to act but in goodness and love. Your love has always prevailed. I pray we hold fast to our faith and stand fast in your word. I pray we live for today. We live to honor You and let You lead. I pray that your blessing will be upon each of the graduating seniors and that there impact will forever plant seeds in the people who follow after.







I call her mom.
Mommy

Happy Mother’s day to all the Mom’s out there! A special shout out of LOVE to my mom, Marcelle!!!
She is one of my best friends and greatest role models/inspiration! I love her and love who she is!
Some things she has taught me through out the years…
 
Make sure your outfit matches (this includes your shoes)
Always try to look your best… you never know who you will run into.
It’s always good to start your day with a little mocha mocha and feet up by the fireplace.
Always find a good deal! My mom is the best bargain finder!
Do your best and accept what happens… because everything happens for a reason.
It’s ok to plan ahead.
You can use your rear view mirror to help you drive.
Always put 10% of your money towards tithes and part to savings.
Never go to Hobby Lobby with the guys. What could be a 2 hour trip may only end up being 5 minutes.
You have to try on every pair of sunglasses and pair of shoes you love… go for Comfort!
Be hospitable to everyone. Serve those you care for and give to those in need.
Lead others and God will Lead You!
And most important… to LOVE Jesus, LOVE Family, and LOVE Others…


Life is not like this...
More like this often times...

Lord, please get me through these tests.
All you.


Thanks Dad!

WHEN ALL MEANS FAIL

To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable. Jesus said to Thomas, “You have believed because you have seen, but blessed are those that do believe and have not seen” (John 20:29).
Blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to prayer—who trust beyond hope when all means have failed.
Someone has come to the place of hopelessness—the end of hope—the end of all means. A loved one is facing death and doctors give no hope. Death seems inevitable. Hope is gone. The miracle prayed for is not happening.
That is when Satan’s hordes come to attack your mind with fear, anger, overwhelming questions: “Where is your God now? You prayed until you had no tears left. You fasted. You stood on promises. You trusted.”
Blasphemous thoughts will be injected into your mind: “Prayer failed. Faith failed. Don’t quit on God—just do not trust him anymore. It doesn’t pay!”
Even questioning God’s existence will be injected into your mind. These have been the devices of Satan for centuries. Some of the godliest men and women who ever lived were under such demonic attacks.
To those going through the valley and shadow of death, hear this word: Weeping will last through some dark, awful nights—and in that darkness you will soon hear the Father whisper, “I am with you. I cannot tell you why right now, but one day it will all make sense. You will see it was all part of my plan. It was no accident. It was no failure on your part. Hold fast. Let me embrace you in your hour of pain.”
Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail—his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world.

Today is Resurrection Sunday which means today He is Risen!
I am so thankful that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and your sins!
What is so awesome is that if we were the only human soul on earth... He would have still died for our sins and rose again three days later!
I am thankful. Thankful in deed.
Sad that I could not be with my family where the weather is sunny and peaceful, but am thankful for where I am at and where the Lord is leading me!

Here are a few Easter thoughts from around the web....
