Every year John and I make a trip into the Pisgah National forest to see the frozen waterfall. I remember the first year we happened upon this, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. So , we try to go every year. Sometimes the timing is a little off. This year the ice had only started forming on the edges. The picture is not very clear... cell phone. I had left our camera at home.
I always thought running water could not freeze. Any scientist out there want to explain this to me? They always say "leave water dripping in your sink, so the pipes don't freeze". Anyway I highly suggest a drive to see this, if you can.

I had a good Sunday! I actually worked the video in church today without help. This is something I have been fearing for sometime. And once again God came through for me.

Please pray... I have a some members of my family, whom I love dearly, that are going through
some heartaches and dealing with some major concerns. If you will lift them up in prayer, the Lord knows their special needs at this time.

If you have any prayer requests, please let me know. I will be happy to partner with you in prayer.

Have a great Week.

Mope or Hope

It has been a long time since I have written. My family has been through a lot over the last six months. We have come a long way, but have a long way to go.

I have not left the house in two days and am looking at another one home today. Starting to feel a little down and out, (well maybe more than a little), you know, the whole "why me" thing. I actually got up, then laid back down again, thinking- why bother? As I began to wallow a little in self pity, I looked up and noticed these little rainbow's dancing on my wall. The Rainbow, a symbol of one of God's promises, quickly reminded me of some of the other promises He made to me. He will take care of me, and my family. My hope is in HIM. So I decided I could live in Hope today or wallow and mope. I am choosing HOPE. Thank you, Jesus for using a little glass angel sitting on my dresser to capture the sun at just the right moment and cover my wall and my heart with rainbows this morning.

Things only get better. After getting up and deciding to make the most of today. I put on my IPOD shuffle (great invention) and the first song on was Nicole C Mullen's - I AM. The words are:
At the end of every rainbow there's a promise proven true. No matter how you're feeling now, or what you you're going thru. There will be somebody lovin' you. Deeper than the grandest
canyon, higher than the open sky. Near enough to capture every whisper, every sigh. Strong enough to hold you when you cry ... Chorus : I Am, I was, I Am the one who is to come...before... after. I'll still be what I Am and what I was. All that you need, all that you want. I Am . If you need someone to hold you because your world is falling apart, If you need a light to guide you safely through the dark, and chase away the nightmares of your heart, If you need someone to give you a purpose for your broken past, and restore the broken reservior of hope insde of you, and mercy for each morning that is new. Repeat Chorus.
I Am the rose they crucifed and buried. I Am risen from the dead, I am the Lion from the tribe of Judah.

Is that not so cool.
