Awesome!!!

Sooooooo I try to refrain from buying expensive coffee drinks during the week, I just had a revelation recently about the fact that I was ACTUALLY spending $4-$5 on A DRINK...that's RIDICULOUS!!! LOL Buuuuuut on Sunday mornings I splurge and usually stop at either Dutch Brothers or Starbucks on the way to coffee and donuts, BEFORE pre-service prayer at our church.

Well this Sunday morning I decided to stop at Dutch Brothers because they have this AMAZING carmel nog latte that will only be there through the season. Now Dutch Brother's is KNOWN for their employees acting WEIRD...I think they probabley give a drug test and IF YOU GET POSITIVE they hire you!!! BAHAHA!!! J/K I think they are supposed to act like PARTAAAAY Surfer style...Anywayz, it makes for some interesting conversations at the drive thru...LOL

Sooooo the coffee lids for their cups ALWAYS SAY SOMETHING ON THEM!!! Annnnd of course I get a total kick out of that!!! Well Sunday, I looked at my lid and it said,

"You radiate pure awesome!" When I got to church I was showing everyone that made it to coffee and donuts what my cup said! I showed my pastor and he busted up laughing! I was like to my pastor, and when I read that on top of my cup, the FIRST THOUGHT that went through my mind was,

I KNOW!!!

My pastor was like, REALLY MARY??? I was like, AHAHAHA...YES!!! Hee, hee!!!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd let me explain to you all WHY I radiate AWESOME!!! I radiate AWESOME, because I HAVE JESUS LIVING ON THE INSIDE!!! Annnnnnnd JESUS, radiates out of me annnnnnnnd MY GOD IS AWESOME... ♪♫ AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME

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!
