This Crazy Life We Lead






Its funny how much I missed the internet when I didn't have access to it, but now that I do have it I don't have time to update. October has always been a crazy month for us. This year more so then usual. Marc wraps up his last month at GMZBC, but in the meantime WABC has been keeping him busy, add in his regular job as a technician and prior commitments. Well let's just say its a bit crazy around here.

Nicki is loving being on a real live movie set and she has been enjoying networking with other cast members and cast.

Quisha's days are filled with little ones, and lots of class planning. By the end of the day she is exhausted and usually crashes by 9 pm (with the exception of the night Grey's Anatomy comes on....lol).

TJ is still TJ (that is usually what I say when some ask about him). He's still working, playing videos and sleeping. I have come to a point in life where now I just pray for him. I will say this much, God is speaking to him in a very loud way. Two Sunday's in a row Pastor Dan may have well have just been talking to him personally ( I know he heard him because you could see it on his face). He basically said if you are over the age of 25 you should be doing more then just hanging out at your mom's home, and playing video games (granted he at least has a job, but I know God has so much more in store for him). Just keep him in prayer.

I missed two weeks of Primetime (Wednesday night bible study) at NLP (in part because of commitments to ministry) so I was worried last night that I would feel out of place. But God is amazing....he knows what you need to hear when you need to hear it (a few weeks ago it was letting go and forgiving). Last night the women were asked to let go of so many things that hold us back, cause us to react in fear, keep us from doing what God has called us to do.

A big one for me has been letting go of some past hurts. As a child I had someone speak some really bad seeds into my life, into my mind and into my heart. I believed those lies and for a long time have not been able to let go of both the physical and emotional scars from this. Its taken me a lot of years to except that this person had their own issues that had nothing to do with me and so I had to let go and forgive that person. What I didn't understand was how much of this still effected my life and how much of it I still carried around.

My lies were: I would never amount to anything and that I would never be loved (yes, he actually said these things to a 10 year old child). Last night I learned that God's truth was: I am special to God, he loves me. He actually made me to stand out, and he has a purpose and plan for my life.

Over the next 30 days my assignment is to say this out loud (we all know it takes 30 days to establish a new habit). So my question to you is what lies has the enemy been telling you? Now listen to your heavenly father and wait to hear his truth's.
