Like OMW...

Soooo last week I was at Chandler Mall, Chaperoning my brother and his girlfriend on a date, (Being a BIBLE;) and sooo I ditched them...LOL...and was walking around the Mall and ALL OF THE SUDDEN,   I saw this girl walking towards me and like OMW...

SHE WAS AN APOSTOLIC GIRL!!! 

I was soooooo excited!!! I didn't know who it was but I was ready to make a new friend!!! THEN right as I was about to say HI, I realized it was ME!!! I was looking at my reflection in a HUGE mirror in one of the stores!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!! 
 What can I say??? AT LEAST... 


I RECONIZE myself as an...
APOSTOLIC GIRL!!! :)

A scented rose....

Sooooo I LOVE roses!!! Roses are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! BUUUUUT have you everrrr noticed that there is a HUGE difference between...
 store bought roses and...
home-grown roses???
 .
We have some absolutley BEAUTIFUL roses in our front yard!!!
Oooooo I just LOOOOVE to go out front and take in their lovely scent!!!
.
Buuuuuuut YOU JUST CAN'T do that with store bought roses!!! For some reason, store bought roses have no scent...which to me, makes them slightly less beautiful! Now don't get me wrong, They're STILL beautiful, just NOT AS BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't help but wonder WHY??? WHY don't store bought roses have a scent??? Are they FAKE??? Nope, they're not fake...they are REAL!!! Touch them, hold them, look at them...THEY ARE REAL ROSES...buuuuut...they have NO SCENT!!!
.
Sooo, being the incredibly studious person that I am...I decided to do a research paper on the matter...AND...NOT...I googled it online...LOL...and according to GOOGLE the reason WHY store bought roses no longer have a scent is BECAUSE...over time the rose fragrance was bred out of them so that they could grow crop that would last longer!
.
This really got me to thinking about us as Apostolic Christians!!! that I think that sometimes, we get SOOOO Apostolic looking, that we forget our scent. Don't get me wrong, we're REAL Apostolics, we believe Duetoronomy 6:4, ONE GOD, Jesus name baptism, we have NO DOUBT about our doctrine, we believe holiness through and through...buuuuuut somwhere a long the way, we either forgot or NEVER really discovered our Apostolic scent!!!
.
OUR TESTIMONY!!! It doesn't matter if your 4th generation Apostolic, or if you were raised by a drug addict...We've ALL GOT A TESTIMONY and we need to know it!!! When I was a baby I was sprinkled in baptism by a Catholic priest, the titles father, son, and Holy Spirit called over me....buuuuuuut I THANK GOD...that there was a man with a burden for NYC that brought THE TRUTH to my Momma!!! AND when I was 6-years-old, I was filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and REBAPTIZED in immersion of water, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!!! Just like the Bible says in Acts 2!!! Thats my scent!!! Thats my aroma!!! And I don't ever want to stop smelling of it!!!
.
I hope, that I don't ever become SOOOOO APOSTOLIC, that my Apostolic scent is bred out of me!!! I want my [future] children to one day know, they may have been born into this, BUT THEY were born SINNERS...destined to hell...BUUUUT... Jesus died for their sins!!! God did something for them!!! And THEY HAVE A TESTIMONY!!!
.
We've all got a testimony and when we know our testimony and we share our testimony, thats when we go from just being JUST a rose to being a scented rose. Not only are we different on the inside and on the outside, but there is a savor, a smell that comes off of us. People will want to be around us more than others, simply because we can't shutup about the Goodness of God!!!
Are you JUST A ROSE???
OR are you a SCENTED ROSE???

Mary Driving Moments Episode #1
First of all....I just wanna say that I do NOT speed!!! I go EXACTLEY the speed limit OR five under!!! ANNNND I really don't care about alll these people that go speeding past me...there is NOOOOO way I want to get a speeding ticket!!! LIKE, OMW, that would be money taken out of my babelicious fashion fund!!! And like, WHY would I want to waste money on a TICKET, when I can waste it on MUCH more exiting things??? HAHAHA!!!
.
Okaaaaaay...moving along...Soooo you know all the stuff people say about woman drivers??? Weeeeellll...WHEN it comes to me...they are ALL TRUE!!! AHAHAHA!!! I'm a total airhead!
Fo RealZ!!!
I don't even know how people can multi-task while driving!!! I mean eat??? Text??? Talk on the phone??? WHILE DRIVING??? That right there is some EXTREME TALENT!!! I mean...i'm having difficulty just THINKIN AND DRIVING...at the same time!!! AHAHA!!!
.
Like I'm totally serious...driving is HARD WORK!!! Duuuuude its COMPLICATED!!! Cuz like, i'm used to daydreaming and stuff...buuuuut with driving you have to stay totally focused!!! Normally, whatever i'm doing...whenever I get a brilliant thought...which happens QUITE OFTEN...;)... I can be washin the dishes or WHATEVERRR... and i'll be like OMW...I should blog about this...and I will stop in the middle of it AND..I will write down my thought... REAL QUICK!!! Buuuuut...you can't do that with driving...cuz if I do... NEXT THING...i'll be bloggin about...IS>>>MY FIRST CAR ACCIDENT!!!
.
Soooooooooo
HOW do you know if its YOUR turn to turn???
Your sitting at the light and your like OMW, should I turn now or WHAT??? Here is a little bit of MARY WISEDUMB...When unsure of what to do...the answer is SIMPLE...just sit there and WAIT from someone to honk...THEN YOU KNOW!!! LOL! This plan was working FINE in my mind, UNTIL, someone asked me, WHAT about if there is NO ONE behind you at the light? Then how do you know when to turn? Do you honk at yourself?! LOL...Like OMW...I like totallly did NOT EVEN think of that!!! (I'll let you all know if I figure this out!!!;)
.
NEEEEEXT...
How do you know WHICH side of the street your supposed to drive on???
I mean like in parking lots and little side streets N stuff!!! Now I know this MAY sound BASIC...buuuuuut...it is NOT a trivial matter!!! It is VERY important to know!!! TRUST ME...I KNOW!!! AHAHA!!!! AND sooooo...I kept trying to figure this out while driving with KIM!!! She kept saying,  MARRRRRY!!! you gotta stay on the RIGHT!!! THE RIGHT!!! And i'm like OMW!!! How can I remember this????
.
FINALLLY...it all clicked when I was with Kim...and she was tryin on clothes, and she was repeating her pastor's guidelines for modesy, "If its TOO TIGHT, its NOT RIGHT!!!" (CAN I GET AN AMEN???) Sooooo as soooon as she said it I was like, OMW thats HOW i'll remember...when I'm driving, i'll be like, IF ITS NOT RIGHT, ITS NOT RIGHT!!! OR If its RIGHT, ITS RIGHT!!! AHAHAHA!!! Plus, I will then think about modest clothing and dressing RIGHT!!! LOL (Not that I'm havin issues people!!! Bahaha!!!;)
If its right, its RIGHT!!!
.
Weeeeelll...its been EVENTFUL...lately...I am sure there will be MANY more Driving MOMENTS...I would like to close this post by saying...

Happy 18th Birthday to...

Little Miss Denae Joy Abbott!!!
I can't believe my lil Nae-nae is 18...an ADULT NOW!!! Awwww!!! I soooo remember when we all found out that your mom was pregnant with you...we all like flipped out!!! LIKE OMW!!! Sis. Abbott is 40-years-old and she is gonna have a BABY!!! It was VERY exciting!!!
.
 Then I remember when you were born, I remember it was Wednesday night Bible classes at your guyse's house off of Pima, and your dad was soooo excited about his lil baby girl!!! I remember we were all in the unfancy living room, the one with the deer head, fireplace and also known as your dad's office, and he lifted his lil newborn over his head all high and proud and announced to all of us kids, THIS IS MY BABY!!! 
.
Weeeelllll i have to think of a few funny stories to share...remember PUDGE??? That scrunched up lookin face you would make? And then you always had to carry around the FUZZ...AHAHA...I can't remember what you would call it!!!?? Oh and lets NOT forget how you were soooooo scared of my grandpa!!! "I don't want to see Grandpa! I don't want to see GRANDPA!!!" And he would just give you a big toothy grin and let out a GROWL!!!  Ahahaha!!! 
.
Also, I remember this one time, my mom and I were over at ya alls house, and we were helping your mom do something, and I was ironing angel costumes and you and Danny were at the kitchen table doing your homeschool work, and when you all were done, you were like 7 0r 8 at the time, and you turn to Danny in this super-mature voice and are like, what are you doing when your done with your school work today?" And he is like I don't know, Why? And your all like, "Well, I have some running around to do and I was needing you to take me!" And Danny was like, "Running around? Like WHAT?!" (Cuz we're thinkin, what could a 7-year-old, possibly need to get done?!) And you respond back, ONCE AGAIN, in a super mature voice, "Weeelll, its Rocky's birthday, and I REALLLY need to get him a present!!!" (Rocky was the Abbott's beloved, spoiled, fat, but the coolest dog ever, golden retriever) It was sooooo FUNNNNY and CUTE!!!
.
And THEN this is my favorite of ALL memories!!!! i had spent the night at the Abbott's with Devi, and you know we're doing our teen-girl-stuff...I'm SURE...talkin about guys...since I was there, WE KNOW...thats what we were doing...and Denae walks in, she is about 6-years-old at this time, and she has a few bucks that she is VERY proud of. She shows it to us, THEN she informs us that she is going to hide it, to keep it safe and make sure NO ONE finds it!!!!(We're just like okaaaay whateverrr, we're teenagers, we HAVE PURSES... she is suuuuch a child;)  So she goes into Devi's bathroom, takes the toilet paper off the TP holder, opens up the middle round part of the TP holder, shows us that she is putting her money in there, puts it all back together, puts it back up and then tells us that NO ONE will be able to find it!!!
.
A few hours later, Denae comes to us sobbing!!! MY MONEY!!! I can't find it ANYWHERE...Its GONE!!! She is like HYSTERICAL...We're just like, ummmm Denae, remember, THE TOILET PAPER HOLDER???  She is just like, OH! Ahahaha!!! She had hidden it soooo weeeelll EVEN SHE couldn't find it!!! BahahahahA!!! I must say, that WAS a very good idea to hide your money!!!! 
.

Sooooo many memories...REMEMBER  your JOKE faze a few  years back??? And your dream in life was to write a joke book??? LOLOL...I was always your biggest fan on the jokes you know...THEY ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH...even if everyone else got sick of hearing them!!! :) Now here you are ALL GROWN UP...with two CD's of your own produced...I'm soooo proud of  you!!! (Buy her CD HERE!!!) I NEVER thought that day, when your daddy held you up waaaay high over his head...THAT...
 ONE DAY...
You would be one of my BIGGEST competitions with....
 THE GUYS!!!!

HAHAHAHA!!! J/K! ;) ;)
REALLLLY, I never thought that one day you would be helping me find a man...doing my hair, Sitting together at conferences and laughing our heads off having a grand time!!! I NEVER thought that one day I would be hanging out with YOU more than with your big sis!!!! I guess really, I just NEVER thought that, the lil baby, YOU... would end up being one of my really GOOD....
.
 FRIENDS!!!

Thanks for being my friend and for all the good times together!!! Love you soooo much!!! Happy Sweet 18th birthday...and as your big sis told me...and it had BETTER stay a sweet 19, 20, 21, and sweet whateverrr...till the day you get married!!!  Xoxoxo

Don't forget...

I've been hearing a lot lately about the Kony 2012 thing...a campain to stop a horrible terrorist in Uganda from turning children into murders, soldeirs and sex slaves. After reading and seeing and listening to the horror going on, I couldn't help but cry. All of the sudden,  people have been telling me about Kony 2012! To spread the word, to blog about this and...And this post isn't directed to anyone imparticular, just in case your one of the people that have mentioned Kony 2012 to me...:)...AND...
.
 I suppose that knowing that my love for children and my love for African people, I would join, I would promote, I would sponsor...and while I thought about it, I can't help but wonder, WHY its sooooo easy for us to get involved in this propaganda that, YES, is a good cause, BUT, we forget about OUR OWN!!!
.
DID YOU KNOW...
.
There is a 15-year-old thats...
 going to have a baby...
 A13-year-old just had an abortion...
A 14-year-old just drank bleach...
 trying to end their life...
A 9-year-old was raped by her uncle...
She is a child prostitute...
He is a drug dealer...
He beats another kid...and you say, lets get him and beat him back...but did you know...HE BEATS..because HE was beaten...all his life and thats ALL HE KNOWS!!!
A 7-year-old just said she hates her life... 
she wants to die
.
Do you think about them?
Do you cry for them?
Do you pray for them?
There are...
 KIDS RIGHT HERE IN THE USA...
THAT NEED US!!!
They hurt, they cry, they steal,
 They hide, they curse, they break,
they're dirty, they're filthy, they stink.
. 
Yet we find it hard to go near them...to touch them...to love them...ugh they're just to much...to far gone...to much work... So we send our money, and hope that someone else will do our work...a bunch of liberal minded someones that don't even have the answer!!!!
.
 I'm NOT trying to take away from what anyone is doing for anyone in far away countries...its is ALWAYS good to help the hurting...BUUUUT...I am forever thankful that a pastor in Missouri had a burden for New York City!!! I am forever thankful, that he sent a man from his church that was willing to answer that call!!! I am FOREVER THANKFUL, that before that man answered the call to a foriegn field, he answered the call to a city in his own country!!! I am forever thankful for the lady that witnessed to the lady down the street from her...MY MOM!!! Oh how I am soooo thankful for that!!!
.
 I thank God for missioniaries and the people that answer the call to far away places...BUT some of us need to get a burden for people RIGHT HERE!!! YES... I hope and I pray they get Kony!!! Yes...help the kids overseas...BUUUUUT...in all your helping, in all your doing...
don't forget about the kid down the street...
they NEED Jesus TOO!!!

Another update!

(This is a text I got from Denae earlier today) Update on Bishop David Abbott: the ventilator was removed this morning and he's doing well breathing on his own. He's talking more and more, and a lot of what he says is really funny. Please keep praying, we serve a miracle-working God!
.
Also, I talked to Denae on the phone today and she said that her dad was very adamant about his hair being combed. She says that he said he wanted his to be combed and NOT ONLY did he want it combed, but a specific way too!!! LOL! That sounds like BRO. ABBOTT!!!
.
I remember when we were in the Philippines from my brother's wedding, he bought a barong to wear to the church service their. A barong is the Filipino dress shirt and it is MADE to wear untucked...BUT Bro. Abbott kept tucking his in...I saw a lot of the Filipinos looking at it...it looked soooo FUNNNNY...but he said he just DID NOT feel right about wearing his dress shirt UNTUCKED...especially TO CHURCH!!! AHAHA!!! Sooooo the hair combing...yup that sounds like HIM!!!
I hope all you men out there comb YOUR extra good today!!! :)
ANNNND...Keep praying...his spirits are up but he is NOT out of the woods yet!!!
♥Mary Frances :)

Update...

We got an update from our pastor, Bro. Abbott, (David D. Abbott) on his father, (Elder Bishop Abbott) He says, My father is doing better this morning. He is off the ventilator and can communicate some. He is still not out of danger. They are not able to close the surgical area yet because of the possibility of too much pressure building up in his abdomen and endangering the transplanted kidney. THey will have to close it slowly a couple of stitches at a time. Thank you all for your prayers! The next little while here is critical!"
.
Denae says, "He's doing good today. (He's in ICU and in critical condition, but for his circumstances, he's doing well.) They were able to take the ventilator out and he is breathing well on his own."
.
All of the Abbott family are saying that today AND tomorrow are STILL CRITICAL DAYS!!! Keep PRAYING!!!
♥Mary Frances :)

Good MORNING!!!

Gmorning EVERYONE!!! I havn't heard anything about Bishop Abbott since last night but will update as soon as I hear! Please remember to be in prayer for him TODAY!!! We know that everyone has to go sometime, and there is NO DOUBT in my mind that Bishop is ready to see his savior, BUUUUUT, I just keep asking God to give us a little more time with him!!! There STILL some souls that need to be prayed through to the HOLY GHOST!!! I wonder JUST HOW MANY souls Bro. Abbott has helped pray through to the Holy Ghost???? I know I'm ONE of those souls!!! Anyone else out there that Bro. Abbott prayed through to the Holy Ghost???
♥Mary Frances :)

Before you go to bed!!!!

Before you all go to sleep tonight...
PRAY AGAIN for Bro. Abbott!!! 
Denae says about her dad... 
"I just want to tell everyone thank you for your prayers.
 .
We couldn't make it without you!
.
Right now he's doing all right, but he's far from being well
.Please keep praying! It could still go either way." 
.
 PRAY AGAIN EVERYONE!!!
.
DON'T STOP PRAYING!!!
♥Mary Frances :)

Bro. Abbott!!!

Just talk to Bro. Andrew Foster on the phone and got a more recent update on Bishop Abbott, He says, that Bro. Abbott needs a miracle. Surgery is finished. He is fighting against sepsis and related complications; He is in very critical condition right now!!! The doctors aer not making any promises either way for him...Our prayers are VITAL at this moment!!!

Bishop Abbott update!!!

I just got a text from Denae that says..."He did really well last night! The nurse said my dad woke up in the night and he asked him, "How ya doing?" and he gave him a thumbs up! Thank God, the riskiest night is over!"
.
Ooooo Praise the Lord!!! God is sooooo goooood!!! I was sooooo happy to read that!!! I told Denae, I have the biggest smile on my face right now and I just screamed!!! and she said, "Haha!! Yes! We're pretty happy too. There will be alot of ups and downs, they said, but last night was the riskiest, and he did well!"
.
Woot! WOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!! Yaaaaaaaay!!! I'm soooo happy!!! I'm just hoping that this means that i'm going to get to see him soon!!! My prayer now is that he gets DOCTORS ORDERS to STAY HOME!!! :]

Urgent prayer!!!

If EVERYONE could Please remember Bishop Abbott in their prayers...he is in desperate need of a miracle in his health!!! This is the update as of last night: They have found the perforation in the bottom of the colon, but it is right over the transplanted kidney. He is under heavy sedation tonight until a transplant surgeon can also be there tomorrow for the surgery around noon. He needs prayer overnight as the risks are sepsis or hemorrhaging.
.
EVERYONE please please pray!!! I love this man soooo much!!! He prayed me through to the Holy Ghost when I was 6 years old and has been one of biggest, aside from my mom, influence on my whole life. He's been like a father figure to me. When I was a kid I used to dream of what it would be like for him to be my dad. He is an awesome man of God. He is and AMAZING alter worker, he has a gift of being able to pray pretty much anyone through to the Holy Ghost. WE NEED HIM!!!
.
I will update as I hear...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...Keep him in your prayers...today is CRITICAL!!!

Extra time...

I was telling my sister the other day...that, EVEN THOUGH...I really want to get married...and yeah, I have for a while... YET, when I look back on all the extra years I have had for singleness, I don't regret them at all. The truth is that I have truely had, AND still am having, and AWESOME time being single!!! I mean if I had gotten married all these years ago...it just seems like I would have missed out on SOOOOO much of life.
.
I told my sis, I'm just so thankful that I have had all this extra time to be a kid...er...I MEAN a young person!!! My sis was like UH I heard you say KID!!! I'm like okaaaaay weeeellll its TRUE!!!
.
Once your married, a certain amount of maturity is expected of you, that you just don't have to have while your single!!! :)))) I'm glad I still get to be a KID...
.
its FUNNNN!!!
.
PLUS...if you think about it...this is the ONLY time in my life, that it will be totally OKAY for me to have a crush on like 25 guys at one time...and its TOTALLLLLY okaaaaay...cuz i'm single...and ya' know, THOSE are the kinds of things I just don't EVERRR want to take for granted!!! I treasure this SPECIAL TIME in my life!!! ;)
.
AND God knows that if ANYONE needs some EXTRA "kid time"...
IT IS ME!!!

.
♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥
