As Christians, we are called to serve one another, even when it’s the most inconvenient! I was one of those who made up excuses on why I shouldn’t offer any kind of help. A couple weeks ago, my friend and I attended a Bible study where we didn’t really know anybody except the leader.  After prayer, one young lady, who just found out she was a couple months pregnant, piped up and said, “This is very un-characteristic of me to even ask, but my back is bothering me and I am in so much pain! Can someone please come over to help me with myRead More →

A couple weeks ago, the Obgyn put me on bed rest. Not FUN at all because my bed rest started very early this time and I have 10 more weeks to go. I am praying that baby Zachary will cook for as long as possible! With God all things are possible! With Gabbi, I went into preterm labor(my cervix had dilated to 2cm already) with her at 29 weeks and was admitted the first time for 4 days and at 33 weeks, I was admitted again for going into labor with her and the doctors tried all they could to stop the labor. Drugs stoppedRead More →

A week ago, I was asked to share about the Balancing Act of a woman in ministry, wife and mother. For a couple of months, I struggled to write down all my thoughts because through this process, I was and still am trying to figure out how to balance the everyday life of being a woman, wife and mom. I only knew that there were too many thoughts going on in my head of how to even begin my little talk. Let me start with this… As a woman, I am trying to figure out my place in this world. Especially in being a minister’sRead More →

As a family we have embarked on the 21 day fast by fasting the television. As a parent, I have become so dependent on the television for the girls, especially in the morning as I prepare their breakfast or even when I get in the shower. So, without my little crutch, I have been moved into a little uncomfortable and not so easy time in my life…who knew I would miss the television this much! The girls on the other hand, don’t really watch it when it’s on so it has made no difference. We are only on our third day and it’s been aRead More →

I was blessed to have been able to spend a few days with girlfriends I had grown up with at church last week. We had a great time simply catching up on our lives. I am so thankful that God has given me such wonderful and Godly friends. During our time of reminiscing it was brought to my attention that they were concerned for us! I look back on this and realized that last year, my adjustment to our new life and ministry was very hard for me to comprehend. I was very overwhelmed by everything-new place, new people, new house, still adjusting to having 2 babies andRead More →

When Chris and I embarked on our life  together of ministry, I did not realize how many challenges we would have. We have had to fight lack of trust and faith, we have had to deal with loneliness, fear, and even doubt. BUT all challenges have resulted in growth, happiness, and more importantly increased our faith! Chris and I are happy because we are doing what God has called us to do, but sometimes I really just have a hard time….who can say that anyone out there that God has called to do something never has a hard time grasping God’s call on their life? There are daysRead More →

This was written in Feb. 2010 “Finally, be strengthened in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Clothe yourselves with the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. For this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.” Ephesians 6:10-13Read More →

Our time in Maine has proven to be a time of refining and growth in the Lord. We have been here almost a year and half-since then we have faced many good challenges. The past year has been a test of where our faith fully relies on. We had sicknesses that seemed unbearable at the time, Bella, last July-shortly after we arrived, got sick with bacteremia. Thankfully, the Lord healed her through a process of strong injections of antibiotics. Then Gabbi got sick in December after being home in VA and in NC for Christmas. We felt like things were just coming against us to discourageRead More →
