My Godly gift

My wife put a picture of the most precious gift God has given me, and that you all can see, is my family!

My Week!!

Well hello everyone out there in the blogger world. This has been a trying week for me, Monday through Wednesday was good until that night on Thursday, when I had to leave work at 1:00 am to be taken to the hospital by my wife (which I will tell you, I had to get my parents to go sit with my 2 kids while they were in bed sleeping at 1am). Well, what happened, was that I have been having migraines for the last few months and a couple of them ended me in the ER= no fun. This one I can say was one of the worst that I have had, it came with a very sick stomach and a nose bleed, which none of the other migraines had. I have been to the Doctor a number of times, and all they do is give me more and more medication to take,I am so tired of taking pills to find out that they are not helping me. So now I am taking a different approach to try and get rid of the migraines. I was told to try a chiropractor, so that is what I am doing now. I was told by the chiropractor that a good possibility of why I am having the migraines is due to the fact that my spine is not in the correct alignment, they have started correcting it a little at a time. I sure hope this will help. I just wanted to let some of the people at church know what is going on so they can keep me in their prayers, and also to keep my wife, Kim, in their prayers also, because it is not an easy task living with me when I get these headaches. I have put this in Gods hands, to help me get through this time. It is not easy dealing with the pain, and trying to explain to my 2 kids why Daddy can not get out of bed and play with them. My 8 year old understands a little but my 4 year old does not understand, and all she wants is for Daddy to get up and play with her. There is no worse feeling as a parent, not to be able to play with your kids, because they are sick.It breaks my heart to see them turn and walk away with those little tears in their eyes when you say those words, "I can't play right now because I am not feeling well". So I just ask that you all keep me and my family in your prayers as we go through this time.

Speakers

Hello everyone out there in blog world. This past Sunday at our church South Florence Baptist Church. We had two awesome speakers come and give their testimonies they were Duane & Iris Blue. Their testimonies were very strong. But the one I got the most out of, was Duane's. He was talking about how men should be the spiritual leaders of their homes and pray with their wives and children every day. When he started talking about that I felt the Holy Spirit talking to me and I knew I was under deep conviction at that time. You see I do pray with my wife and kids at dinner and every night when they go to bed and read them a verse in their study Bible. But I do not sit down with my wife on a daily basis and pray with her like I should, From this day on I make a Promise to my God, to my lovely wife, and to everyone that is reading this blog there will not be a night that goes by that I will not pray with my wife and my family.My wife is the number 2 person in my life she is right behind God.She is the most amazing person I know, she is a loving wife and a great mother to both of our children. She is a great listener and understanding person. When I have a problem she is there for me, when my heart is broken about something and I need a shoulder to cry on she is there for me.She takes care of me when i am sick, She is just the best wife in the world. and I am SO BLESSED to have her as my wife. I know there are times that I do not show her the love and the attention that she wants and needs from me and this is one of the biggest things that I pray about, is to show her the love and the attention that she deserves from me. So as everyone can see, if you have never had the chance to hear Duane & Iris Blue speak, I really encourage you to hear them. They are a Blessing from God. They will open your eyes to a whole different way by listening to their testimonies and what they both went through before they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Just like the Blues' we all go through hard times and feel like we are nothing until that one special day when we all have had enough and we get down on our knees and pray to the one and only Almighty God to come into our hearts and save us from our sins. On March 19th 2007 that is what I did and God has been there for me ever since. I know whatever I go though,and can not handle I am not alone because I have an awesome God that can get me through anything and that I will never be alone no matter what happens good or bad because he is the one that hung there on that Cross for you and me and washed away all of our sins. Well I hope that everyone has an awesome week and hey guys, don't forget how ever busy you get, and tired you are, don't forget about that special person ( your wife) and take the time to pray with her and for her for all that she does for you and hey Lady's do your husbands the same. God Bless everyone out there and have a good week and once again don't forget to PRAY.

Well hello everyone i have finally had the time to set up my first blog. But i still had to have the help from my wonderful wife (SHE IS THE GREATEST). I was going to do it on Friday but i went to Promise Keepers (a conference for men) This was the first time i have ever been to one and i tell you it is something i will never forget it was so AWESOME, and it made me even closer to God.The testimonies that the speakers shared with the group was so great and it opened my eyes to a whole new light on how i need to be with God. If any men out there have never been to Promise Keeper take it from someone that has never been until this weekend you should go. I am not sure how many men were there but i would have never imagined that i would ever be around so many men from different parts of the United States singing , praying , and worshiping our awesome God like we all did these past 2 days i am so glad i was able to go.
