Update on my Daddy

First all I want to take this time to tell everyone who has been praying for my dad Thank you so much. God has answered so many of our prayers and just been such a blessing to my dad and to our family. My dad went in the hospital on Thursday and had surgery to remove the colon cancer. The Dr's told us that everything went well and that they are pretty confident that they removed all the cancer. They also took some tissue from other areas and sent it to the lab to make sure there is nothing left of the cancer and to check to see if there are any other cancer cell, we will know hopefully by Monday whether he will have to do chemo. He is in alot of pain, but he is doing much better each day. Today was a really good day for him he looked better. He is in very good spirits and he is very thankful. Thank u so much for all of your support, thoughts, and prayers. Please continue to pray for him. God bless all of u

You are God's masterpiece

Don't be ashamed how God created you. Reading my devotions really made me realize that I am Gods masterpiece. I want to share something with you that is very personal to me. My mom, my sister Sarah, and myself have Treacher Collins Syndrome............................................
Treacher Collins Syndrome is a birth defect that has several characteristic features including underdeveloped cheek and jaw bones, misshapen or missing ears and down slanting eyes. It can vary in severity from a very subtle presentation that may go unrecognized to the more severe cases that are noticed immediately and may present with related problems.
Treacher Collins Syndrome is a genetic condition occurring in approximately 1 of 10,000 births. It may occur as a spontaneous mutation out of genetically normal parents or it may be inherited from one of the parents. A spontaneous mutation occurs very early in development and presently there is no link between a mothers activities and the condition. If one parent is affected there is a 50% chance of passing it on to the offspring. drome. Here's a little info. on Treacher.
It also can affect the hearing, speech, breathing, and eating problems.........
So I have the slanting of the eyes, underdeveloped cheek bones, jaw bone and I have small ears. And I also have a hearing problem, I do wear hearing aid. You know growing up especially when I got to middle school my sister and I got picked on. It wasn't always easy but we survived. I can remember this one time this guy kept calling me Snoopy. I kept telling him to stop, leave me alone, But he kept on and on. So, I got so mad and turned around and punched him as hard as I could in the stomach, needless to say he never messed with me any more.
(OK hitting someone is not the answer to everything, even tough he deserved it) I read this verse and it said.......And I praise you because of the wonderful way you created me. Everything you do is marvelous! Of this I have no doubt. With your own eyes you saw my body being formed. Even before I was born, you had written in your book everything I would do. Psalm 139:14..................Don't be ashamed how God created you....So what you might look different.....Looks aren't everything, it what's in your heart. My heart is beautiful, because God made it beautiful back in March. Is your heart beautiful?
So in my my daily step........ Look in the mirror and really look at yourself and then turn to God and say "God you have done a good job. I am beautiful inside and out. Thank you for creating me just the you wanted. Give him the praise and glory to him. .......................Then give your self a little whistle..OK I have to tell you whistling @ myself was pretty weired and funny......... Have a wonderful evening.........Please continue to pray for youth camp......The last count I got was 11 students have gotten saved...Praise the Lord.

Youth Camp

Youth Camp is just around the corner. I will be honest I am sad that I am unable to go, but at the same time I am excited about camp. I pray that everyone will have a safe trip,have fun, and have wonderful time of fellowship with each other and most important with the Lord. I pray that the Bro. Kevin, the Leadership and young people will be pumped up at camp, but mostly when camp is over and yall come home. So I leave you with this, 2 Corinthians 13:14 NLT " May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." Yall have a wonderful time. Love yall and I will be praying for all of you everyday.

Loving God

Aaron spoke Wednesday night on "We should be motivated by....Love" It is part of the Motive8 Series. It was pretty awesome. He asked The question do you really love God? I have been really thinking about that sermon alot. Well today I did my devotion and it was talking about God's Love....I want to share what About God's love for us.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him so not perish but have everlasting life."

1John 4:16 NLT "We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love."

Romans 8:38 NLT "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor are worries about tomorrow- not even powers of hell can separate us from God's love."

Romans 5:8 NLT " But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."

From God Chick " We have a love letter from God. The Bible is God's Love letters to us. Page after page reveals God's love for us. His definition of his love is not the definition the world uses. The love found in the world is perhaps temporal and easily offend... But not the love that our father offers us. "

His Love never fails. His love is patient. His love is forgiving. His love is eternal. He will never stop loving you. Ever.
So we see how much God loves us. There is proof in His Holy word that he loves us. How can you not be blown way by His love. How can you not love God.
Here is the daily step for today.......Say out loud, " I am loved by my Father in heaven with a love that is beyond compare. He will never stop loving me."
Just Know that God loves you.

Finding Peace in Worship

Worship the Lord with Gladness; come before Him with a joyful song. Psalm 100:2

Worshiping the Lord, gives me that peace knowing that he is there. It doesn't matter whether your singing, studying his word, or praying. Either way you do it just know that God's peace is with you.

It's is all right, the Lord replied " Do not be afraid you will not die." And Gideon built an alter to the Lord there and named it Yahweh-Shalom ( which means "the Lord is Peace" )

In the book of Judges, Gideon was given a great assignment from God. An Angel appeared to Gideon and told him that God wanted Gideon to lead the children of Israel in a battle against the Midiarities. Gideon did not see himself as a warrior. He complained that his clan was the weakest and that he was the least in his family. He was just a little freaked out! But God reassured him...And said, " peace be with you; do not fear. Gideon immediately built an alter to the Lord and called it " The Lord is Peace" (From the Book " God Chicks")

I have been a little freaked out at times and worry about things, But putting my trust in him and worshiping him in pray, the gives me that peace. This morning I was reading from this book called God Chicks ( by the way it's a awesome book for women) at the end of each devotion it gives you a Daily step. Today's step: Right now...out loud.....Thank God for being your peace. Thank Him for bringing peace into your heart, whether it is in your single life, marriage, your family , your heart and your mind..

I have been so feeling so down the last few week. And I was just so bitter towards some people. But reading that this morning and worshiping his word, I just felt the Lords peace. I just felt so up lifted and so good. It was just awesome feeling.
I pray that you will find His peace.

Happy 4th of July

Tonight we had are 4th of July Blast for the singles at church. It turned out really nice. Bro. Kevin preached tonight. And we had some fireworks and lots of food. Mark Byers Was dressed up like Uncle Sam. I wished I had brought my Camera. It was really great..We celebrated the freedom that Lord has given us, I just want to honer what he did for me. He died on the cross and shed his blood for our sin. Are freedom to honer him, is a great honor. I sat there tonight thinking about how we still have the freedom to worship and to study his word. Life couldn't be any better than that. And I just wanted to honor those who fought for are country in the pass and who are fighting for our country now. And to the ones who lost there love ones during this war, my heart and prayer go out to you and your family. We have so much to be grateful for. To every one I hope yall had a nice holiday. God Bless Amercia...........

Just a little note about my dad

I just want to share what the Lord has been doing for my dad. He is doing really good. He has finished his radiation and chemo. The cancer has shrunk alot. We are waiting to hear when his surgery is. Then he will have to do chemo after the surgery to make sure that the cancer is gone. I want to thank everyone who has been praying for my dad and my family, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I still ask that you keep my dad and family in your prayers. The Lord is so good to us. My dad is a soldier for the Lord. If you listen to the song on my playlist about the the soldier on his knees by the Crabb family. When I first heard that song I was so amazed because I felt like my dad is that soldier. There are so many people out there, that are soldiers. The Lord has blessed us with so much. Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers..................

Back from trip

The sun set from the 1st evening

The cruise ship
This picture was taken in Mexico. It is a Dentist office up on the second floor of a store.
Key West


I had a nice time on my cruise. The weather was beautiful. You know how I said that I prayed that the Lord would use me on this cruise. Well I believe he did. The second night on the cruise me and my friend had gotten ready early so we thought , so we decided to go down to the lounge until it was time for supper. We started talking about different stuff and she started asking me about my life. She asked me about Christianity. I told her what the Lord has done for me. And I had told her that my Life has changed and I had no desire to do the things I use to do. I told her that my desires are living for the Lord and not of the world. So we continue to talk a lot more about my Christianity. what was weired was at that time the lounge was full of people and it all the sudden got silent the waiters didn't bother us. I knew right then the Lord's presence was there. We talked for along time. I happen to look at my watch and I told her that we needed to go to dinner, so we went not knowing that we were really late for dinner , we didn't know that the time had changed but I knew right then we were late for a reason. My pray for her is that the Lord will keep what we talked about on her heart and mind and that she will accept the Lord into her life. A few days later I was having breakfast with one of the other girls, and I was talking about how the Lord has changed my life. And how that certain things that I wanted so desperately in my life, I wanted for the wrong reason. I honestly believe that the Lord was waiting for me to step out of my comfort zone. And I felt that he was there at those moments. I tell you what it was a awesome trip I was nervous about this trip but the Lord took over my nerves and he was there. So please keep my friends in your prays and that they will come to know the Lord.

I am going on a little trip with work

I leave tomorrow to go on a cruise. My Boss takes all of us on a trip every year. I have to admit that at first I really didn't want to go, because I didn't really want to be around some of the girls and boss who parties a little to much. But tonight Bro. Kevin preached about stepping out of comfort zone and to reach out to others. Thank U Lord and Bro. Kevin for that message. It was a real eye opener. After the sermon I was sitting there praying and ask the Lord to use me on this trip to be able to witness to them. I prayed that he will help me get out of my comfort zone. I have been praying for some of them to get save. I just ask that yall will pray for a safe trip and that the Lord will use me to reach out to them. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort Zone and remember that the Lord will be there to guide you. The Lord is awesome.


Update on my Daddy. He is doing well with his treatment. Please continue to pray for him and our family. Thank you all for your loving support..

Good evening to all

Tonight was sitting here thinking about things how I am so blessed to have parents like I do. My parents do so much for me. I could never repay them for what they have done for me. Then I started thinking about what the Lord has done for me. How he died on the cross for my sin so that I could have eternal life. He gave me my SALVATION, he gave me LIFE. He embraced me with open arms on March 16,2008. I couldn't imagine going back to my old life. But what I can tell you is that the Lord is awesome. I know there are people who read my blog and I know that there are people who know the Lord and I know that there might be some who need the Lord. Just know that who ever you are, just know he is ready for you to come to him, and trust me when I tell you this, he to will embrace you with open arms. He Loves you so much that he died on the cross for our sin, so that you to could have eternal life. My pray is that who ever you are, that you will call out to him. I really felt lead to write this blog tonight. I had plan to write about something else but it lead to write this. I just want to also thank everybody for there prayer for my dad, please continue to pray for him. He started his treatment today. And he is doing fine so far. Anyways thank you and have a wonderful night.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM

Happy mothers day to all. The Lord has created my mother just for me just as he has for everyone else. He knew before she was born that she was going to be my mother. So Thank You Lord for designing my mother just for me. My mom is so wonderful, the Lord blessed me with a mother who Loving, she loves God, my dad, my sisters, my self, her grand babies, her family,and everyone else that's in her life. She is understanding, she is a good listener, she is one I can go to with any problem I have. she has always put us first she cries with us she laugh with us she hurts when we hurt. My mom is a wonderful gift from God and I wouldn't have it any other way. Momma thank you for being my mom, I thank God for you. Thank you for being who you are, you are very special to me. Words can not express what I feel about you. So MOMMA thank you for everything and I love you so very much. Thank you God for my momma and I love you too.

Update on my dad

My dad went to the Doctor yesterday and the cancer did not spread , which we are so happy and what a blessing. He will start his treatment next week. Radiation 5 days a week and chemo 6 days a week after that he will have the surgery to remove the remaining of the cancer and after that he will have to finish up with the chemo. Please continue praying for him. Thank you Tracey

FNL

FNL

FNL was full of fun. The music was awesome and the pizza was so good. And I hear the preaching was awesome, I didn't get to hear any of it, because I was in the kitchen. But anyways hear are some pics that I took and I wanted to share it with everyone I hope you all will enjoy them.

Just A Litttle note about my Dad Paul

Just a little note to tell you what's going on. My dad went to the Dr. yesterday and they told him that he needed to have another test done to make sure that the cancer has not spread anywhere else before they start his treatment. He has to get radiation and chemo done 5days of week for 6weeks, to try to shrink the cancer. Most likely he will undergo surgery to remove the rest of the cancer. I just ask that yall will keep my dad and family in your prays. My dad is strong man and I have faith that the Lord will take care of him. I things happen for a reason and I know that it is in God's hands. Thank you to who have already been praying for him we greatly appreciate it. Thank you and God bless all of you Tracey

Good Evening

My whole heart has not one single grain, this moment of thirst after approbation. I feel alone with God; He fills the void; I have not one wish one will, one desire, but in Him; He hath set my feet in a large room, I have wondered and stood amazed that God should make a conquest of all within me by love.

-Lady Huntington-

So this week I have been watching this DVD called "Be Still" is about having a better relationship with the Lord. Wow it is a great video, I learned so much about having that time with the Lord.

Job33:31-33

...listen to me; be silent, and I will speak...listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you Wisdom.

Psalm 46:10

Be still and know I am God.

This video gave me alot of insight on my prayer life and reading His word. One of the things they said " Being in the Lord's Presences. To be still ( stillness, and to meditate His word) and know ( just trust by putting your heart and trust in him) that I am God. (comfort in knowing that he is God.) I am hungry for the Lord I want to take in everything I can about His word. I want my relationship with the Lord to be #1 in my life. He is the one who fulfills me. It gives me great comfort knowing that the Lord is always there where ever I go in life..

So last week I had found out that my father has cancer. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I really didn't know what to say to my daddy. It really hit me when my sister and I was over at Kevin and Karen's house and Kevin said a little pray. We really broke. But it wasn't until yesterday morning I was at work and I went to bathroom and said a little pray that the Lord would just give me peace about my daddy. I know that the Lord will take care of my daddy and my family. I just ask that yall will pray for my daddy and family that the Lord will give us strength to get through this. Yall have a good evening.

This weekend

Hey everyone. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Had a great weekend. I had a really bad week, last week. Went to church Friday night heard a great message from Bro. Mike, and again In Sunday school class. Sean Byers and his parents were there, it was so good to see all of them especially Sean. Then went back Sunday night and heard Bro. Tommy message, It was all so good. So, anyways on Saturday I washing my truck and after that I put this decal on my window and it says Dependent and under that it has Psalms 18:1-3 and that verse says "I will love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies." How awesome is that. That he will love me with all his strength, that he loves me for me, He is my rock who I depend on who is strong, He is the one who can keep me from falling as long as I keep my eyes upon him. I praise You Lord. You sacrifice your life for me. You are worthy Lord. SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rejoicing

Good evening family and friends. Tonight I got baptized. I had to share my testimony as well. I thought I knew what I was going to say. I got to the mike and took a deep breath and said its all you Lord..I'm not good at speaking in front of people I get real nervous. I think Mrs. Joni thought I was going to pass out. But the Lord filled my heart and the words just came out. The Lord is my Rock and Salvation and through Him I can get through anything.. I am excited about what the Lord has planned for me. The Lord is so AWESOME. Thank you to my Family and Friends who have been so supportive and have been praying for me. I love you very much...I want to share this verse Psalms13:5,6(NLT) But trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.. All I want to do is just rejoice the Lord.....

Thank you Kevin and Karen for praying for me before the service, I love you guys so much.


P.S. We need to pray for Sean Byers and his family.

Good Afternoon
I was reading 1Peter 3:8-12(NLT)
Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it. For the Scriptures say,
"if you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. but the lord turns his face against those who do evil.

Not to long ago I got really angry with someone who insulted me, I was so so mad and hurt at the same time. I could have turned around and insult them if I wanted to, but the Lord really had a hold on me, telling me let it go. It was hard ,but I walked away. I know sometimes we want to turn to people who insult us, and say something back. Jesus was insulted time and time again, and he turned the other cheek. Really, He died on the cross for our sins. So lets all try to turn the other cheek, just Like Jesus did. So lets LOVE and forgive one another, Just like the Lord loves us. Yall have a wonderful evening.

God made us beautiful

I have struggle with my self image all my life. I never thought I was beautiful. People would make fun or stare at me because I look different. It took a long time for me to realize that I am beautiful, we are all beautiful in God's eyes. He mold us just the way he wanted. God loves us so much and he has a purpose for us. I have started reading the Purpose Driven Life book, and there is a poem that I wanted to share with you.THIS POEM IS WRITTEN BY RUSSELL KELFER: You are who are for a reason. You're part of an intricate plan. You're precious and perfect unique design, Called God's special woman or man. You look like you look for a reason. Our God made no mistake. He knit you together within the womb, You're just what he wanted to make. The parents you had were the he chose, and no matter how you may feel, They were custom- designed with God's plan in mind, And they bear the Master's seal. No, that trauma you faced was not easy. And God wept that it hurt you so; But it was allowed to shape your heart So that into his likeness you'd grow. You are who you are for a reason, You've been formed by the Master's rod. You are who you are, beloved, Because there is a God!
Isaiah 44:2 " I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born."
You see the Lord has a purpose for you and me. He made you and me beautiful. Don't be ashamed how God created you. I'm not, I feel beautiful. I am a princess for The Lord. Have a bless day.

Hello eveyone

I'm new at this and I'm really excited about starting a new blog. I just wanted to be able to share with everyone whats going on in my life. March 16, 2008 I surrender my life to the Lord. It was bitter sweet for me. I grew up in church went forward as a child and later on went to the girls counselor at school. But things didn't really change for me, I continue to live for the world and not the Lord. This past year Ive been dealing with things in my life and I couldn't understand why things weren't getting any better until these past few months the Lord has really been working on my heart, and I fought him on this because I kept telling myself I am save when I wasn't. I went to church on March 16 felling fine, started singing worship and on the the last worship song it hit me like a ton of bricks. I started crying before Bro. Tommy started preaching. The whole time I was sitting there I just kept praying to the Lord, I heard none of Bro. Tommy sermon that morning. I just kept telling the Lord I surrender. The best part about all this was my parents were there to witness this wonderful thing that just happened to me. You know I hear and see things more clearly now and it is so WONDERFUL...Praise the Lord I AM SAVED!!! So many wonderful things has happened..Our church Easter program had such a big impact on me. That's was my first time singing a small solo and I couldn't have done it without the Lord. Then I was asked to go on the youth retreat to cook, and I saw something so amazing that it just gave me chills...I knew the Lord was there...Thank you Karen so much for being there with me and helping me in the kitchen, we really had a great time. Thank you Bro. Kevin, Aaron for the opportunity to come and to be apart of something that I will never forget. Big Brother(Kevin) and SisterKaren I love you guys so much you mean the world to me... Kellie thank you for help in the kitchen and Shawn thank you for everything ... to My girl Jenny thank you for ears and wisdom. And thank you for making feel like part of the team. I love ya Sister. Thank you to the youth for making it fun for me...I love all yall Tracey
