First night!

Soooooo the first night...Before walking over to the church i was hanging out with my buds in the lobby...Robby and Kevin!!!

Okaaaaaaaaaay sooooooo people were saying that i'm DIFFERENT then they imagine me to be!!!Anali even told me that people were saying that they don't expect me to be calm when they meet me and people were telling me that I'm more quiet and they expected my voice to be higher pitched...LOL...Idk what to say...I'm just ME!!! I know, my voice is kinda nasally huh??? With the slightest twinge of a NYC accent even tho I was raised in AZ annnnnd about me being quiet and calm...The truth is that, BELIEVE it or NOT, as a child I was VERY QUIET!!! Sooooooo even tho i'm a friendly, outgoing person, MY FIRST NATURE IS SHYNESS!!! I really had to push myself to get beyond that! Annnnnnd honestly, I don't ALWAYS talk, everything comes in RANDOMNESS...you just don't know WHAT to expect or what will happen next when you are with ME!!! Honestly, even I wonder!!! LOL!!! WHEN I start acting cRaZy or when I purrrr at you, thats a compliment...It means I'm COMFORTABLE with YOU!!! aNNNNNND Feel FREE to pass that quiet part on to my pastor...heh, heh!!! ;)

The Votaws!!!

He has preached all over the US, China, Taiwan, the Philipines, Vietnam and many more Asian countries. He preaches in underground churches in communism countries. He converted a man on death row in prison to Christ and 3 hours before that man died he baptized him in Jesus name. He prayed the first man in Vietnam to kill and americn soldier through to the Holy Ghost and Baptized him in Jesus name. He has converted trinitartin preachers all over to the Oneness doctrine...BUT ABOVE all else...I thank God that I TOO am ONE OF THOSE souls he reached out too...he gave 7 years of his life to New York City!!! I thank God that he answered the call!!! It wasn't until his 6th & final year as pastor there, that our family came into church...we were there for 9 months before we came to AZ and then right after that the Votaws left NYC for the mission fields of Asia...I THANK God that someone had a burden for NYC!!!

Sis. Kathy!!!

This is the woman that invited my Momma to a Pentecostal church!!! She told me that she was actually new in the church herself and that she would see my mom in the front yard of our house playing with us kids and she just wanted so badly for my mom to have what she had just recieved herself. It may have been just one person that she was witnessing to at that time, but that one person has had an affect on her own five children and now its her Grandchildren that are still recieving the blessing of Sis. Kathy's witness. 25 years ago, it wasn't just my mom...I may have only been two at the time, but it was ME she was winning too! I thank God she wasn't afraid to be a witness and that she didn't give up on my mom. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39) When you decide to live for God it doesn't just stop with you!
