Happy New Year!

“This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:16, 18-19)

Made it to Miami

It took 12 hours to reach our destination, but we made it. Hoping to have a very happy New Year!

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Bye, Bye, Bye...

I saw my old Honda today... all nicely fixed up... new front tires, upholstered door panels.

We're headed to Miami in a few hours, I still have not packed. I have five loads of clothes to wash... two of the kids and three of mine. Why do I always wait until the last minute?

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” (John 14:1-3)

Gone After-Christmas Shopping

I really need to write down things that I'm believing God for in 2006.

“Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.” (Luke 2:28-32)

Happy Birthday Jesus!

The kids had a wonderful Christmas!!! We now have the following added to our toy collection: a full-size Air Hockey table, two plug and play Dora games, one plug and play SpongeBob game, one plug and play Spiderman game, an indoor/outdoor basketball goal, baby dolls, Dora paint soap, Batman soap and basketball bath set, Motorola Razr cellphone (that one's mine), twin sized Princess bed sheets, remote control car, headphones for the minivan (as I will be using the OEM wireless phones as backups), Polar Express & Shark Tales dvds, perfume, socks, shirts & ties, golf balls, AMC movies gift certificate, earrings, lotion, and I think that may be it...



I finally found the perfect television show for myself!!!! And WHY am I just finding out about it??? It's been on television since September (according to this write-up I found on it)! It's USA Network's "Made In The USA." FINALLY... a show for aspiring inventors trying to market their products. I happen to find it by my office televison being on HSN, and they were having a Made in the USA marathon. I looked on the USA website and saw that congratulations are in order for Chris Spencer & Sammy Davis of the Hydromax System. Oh, while I was checking it out, I can't believe that Chris actually put his real cell number (that he's had for years) on the company website.

For more information contact us at:

Chris Spencer
281-788-3838
cspencer@hydromaxsystem.com

Carl Henderson
832-492-2025
chenderson@hydromaxsystem.com

Okay, okay... he is supposed to put a real number, but not a number that he's used for other marketing ventures (research revealed he is or was also in the club business which uses his same cell number)...how do you know how to answer the phone? Do you really want to answer all your calls? Would it be a good idea to just give out a voicemail number? Whatever. I'm getting too much into their business, when I have enough business of my own.

A Week's Update

Monday-Can't Recall Much-Just busy as a bee at work. Work, work, work. I'm sure that's not what life's about... at least not working for other people. At least I enjoy what I do, but i know that I will enjoy what I do even more, next year.
Tuesday-Lai & Daddy are sick at home today, Zach didn't go to school because Dad is his ride. Mom got sick after work.
Wednesday-At home sick. Not enjoying being sick, stomach virus and muscle aches. Sleep all day and have no problem waking up and going back to sleep. Church came to get my car (my baby) today! A very bitter sweet moment. Drugged up and went to 7 o'clock service... guest speaker, some guy from the local newschannel here... very good speaker... speaks about holding on to God's Word. Spoke to SK, he introduced me to the six-page magazine that they have created... wants me to help...I'm honored... I'm ready! This has my name written all over it!
Thursday-back to work, feeling better.
Friday-(Today)-In the streets, not shopping, just adding to the hustling and bustling crowds.

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” (Luke 2:11-14)

“But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:20-21)

My Meeting With Pastor Scott

I had a meeting with PS today. It was unlike anything that I would have ever thought... I was going in thinking we were going to talk more about the Christian comedians and such, but he shared with me more of the direction that he would like to take CYP in, and that God has placed us on his mind to be his helpers. How cool is that? I say that because, every time I think of ideas for the church, they are always ideas geared toward the young professionals, hot, refreshing, innovative ideas for the young and open-minded. Well I guess this is the area God wants me to be, and I'm excited to be there!

“But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” (Luke 1:30-33)

The Most Awesome Thing Happened Today!

It was Thursday or Friday that I prayed to God... this is what I said: "Lord, you know that it was difficult this year for me to get this degree in Theology. I have papers to write every month, I have to read different books every month, I have a full-time job, two kids and a husband (both of which have their needs) and I don't know if I should go back to school to finish getting my Bachelor's degree. If you want me to go, send me just one red rose."

Fast-Forward To Today
My co-worker brought her daughter Kallie (about 12 years old) to work so they can take the afternoon off to go shopping. Well Kallie was going around the office saying "Hi" to people. She went to say 'hello' to one of the ladies, Lisa, who was busy getting ready for a meeting. Lisa said that she didn't want to appear sharp to Kallie, so she quickly asked God, how can I handle this. She then told Kallie, that she was really busy, but she can take a flower from her vase. Kallie said she didn't want it, but Lisa insisted. Lisa had a beautiful bouquet of red carnations and roses, she clipped Kallie a rose and gave it to her. Kallie then, came straight to my office and gave it to me! I gasped and had to fight back tears... saying "Is that for me?" I was basically freaked out and told her and her mom the story. I also shared the story with Lisa, and that's how I found out how Kallie got the rose. I told Lisa, that was confirmation for her also, that she did the right thing!

I want to tell the world... "Thank You Lord!"

“Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. ” (John 10:7, 9-10)

Advanced Associate's Degree!

I found out that I have 56 credits that transferred over to bible college, so I qualify to get my Advanced Associate's Degree. I have 86 credits now, too much for an AA and 34 credits too little for a Bachelor's. So I guess that means, I can stick Bible College out one more year and get my Bachelor's of Theology!
