Wanna Be on Top?

Hey all,
I stole the title of this blog from the "Top Model" show by Tyra banks. I'm all in fashion mode as I gear up to mc at my church's back to school fashion show this weekend. I'm not a stylista or a bit fashion conscious so this is a big deal to me. LOL. But I've seen one too many episodes of top model to know that it takes a lot to pull off a great show.

I'm excited that our models are children, so no big drama! maybe a few temper tantrums is all. Anyhow, it's this Sat at 3, if your in the area stop by!! There will be Style, Music, Fun and Food.
We're hitting the runway for Jesus, showing that Christians do have fun and can look good while we're doing it. If you want to support some great kids and give them some encouragement as they approach another school year, then swing by.

I'm hoping to pick up some fashion tips from the older kids. LOL. Hey come to think about it, I could ask Jesus, I mean think about it--God is probably the greatest designer there is right. Seen his "Creation" Line lately?
think about it.
Till we meet again. Stand strong, be kind and Love God with all your heart.

1,2,3 GO!!!!!!!!!

new new new

Hello to all
I'm so glad to be alive today and encouraged to keep going for God.
Yesterday I had an opportunity to preach at my church and God gave me a word "Let's go to another level" I'm so excited about some things God has shown me through that message. It helped me to understand that to get to the next level I must be prepared and sometimes preparation can be HARD! But now Ihave a new perspective on some things I have been going through and I'm excited about the journey. God has not abandoned me, I'm just being prepared for something greater and so are you! It is my prayer that you are encouraged today. If you want to hear more of that message let me know, I have a copy on dvd of it.
On another note, I am currently editing my first book-so I may not be blogging as much as usual, but please keep me in your prayers...the hubby and I are still bbq ing, yeah I made that word up. I have a really great pork chop recipe, want to hear it? Stay tuned for the next blog and I will tell ya.
Oh and I should be posting another praise dance on Youtube sometime this week so look for it..
Be blessed and Stay with God
love

Story of the Week

Gianna's Joy

It was a snowy afternoon and Gianna was waiting for her husband to come home. Usually she would be at work, but she was sick with the flu. She gathered her strength and sat in her bay window, looking out at the snow as it fell. Thoughts of shoveling and driving through the bad weather-made her feel down.

Tonight was her parent's 30th wedding anniversary party and she just had to be there to celebrate. With her head pounding and nose running, she cringed at the idea of picking out something cute and comfy to wear. Time was not on her side, the party was just a few hours away and she hadn't even combed her hair today.

All the way across the room, the phone was ringing.

By the time Gianna got to it, she had missed the call, but thankful the person called back again. "Hello" she answered. To Gianna's suprise, her dad was on the other end. "I'm outside kiddo, open up the door" her dad told her. Gianna peeped out her window and smiled when she saw her mom and dad standing on her front porch.

"We heard you weren't feeling well, and since the weather is bad, we moved the celebration to next saturday" Gianna's mom said as she handed her a wonderful fruit basket. It wasn't long before Gianna's husband and three kids were home. Everyone worked to clean up her home, fix her a great dinner and even helped her style her hair.

At the end of the evening, everyone drank some hot chocolate and watched some old family videos together. Gianna was grateful to God for her family and for their concern. A few days later she was back on her feet and feeling back to normal. Gianna got word that one of the elderly women at her church had got the flu and wasn't doing well.

So she asked some of the sisters from church to go with her and visit the woman. They helped to clean the woman's house, cook her some dinner and prayed with her. As Gianna was washing the elderly woman's dishes, she realized something-she was called to this. She drove home smiling as she thought of how they had helped that woman feel better about herself and her home.

So Gianna prayed and asked God about her new found desire to help the sick. She met with her pastor's wife and talked about how she could start helping those that were sick and shut in at their church. So prayerfully they formed a team of women who felt the same desire that Gianna felt. Together they worked to start a new ministry to the sick.

Even with a husband and three kids, Gianna made time to take the joy she received that day when her parents showed up, and share it with whomever would receive it. From house to house she went and brightened someone's day. Giana was amazed that God would use her to do such a great work for Him. She couldn't believe all that she had learned and did, just from being sick that day.

Giana took her joy and shared it with others. Who are you sharing your joy with this week? Make no excuse, someone is waiting-on you!
