It's Time...

...For a new post that is. It's been a few days since I have posted and I can't say that much has really happened. Our VLB's went to Judgement House this past weekend and it was wonderful as always. I'm telling you---it may not be The Church of God, but they put this production on as close to the Bible as possible and do not try to influence you in anyway to change your religion or anything of that nature. They don't use the KJV Bible but other than that it's great. I don't know how it is in other parts of the US, but here in Jonesboro it's great.

Well our Sunday School superintendent made his appointments for the year and I'm again Young Adult SS Teacher. I enjoy being a SS teacher, but I really want your prayers this year. I want to be all that God would have me be. I want to study my lesson even more and dig deep into the word of God this year. Just not for the class, but for me, because I need it. I need to dig deeper into the word of God. I don't want to just skim the surface, but I want to dig deep into the word of God and learn all I can. I feel that there is a need to be prepared for whatever may come our way--whether it is using the word to defeat the devil or as a tool for witnessing I want to dig deep and learn what I can and hide the words of God in my heart. You know my prayer is "Jesus use me and Oh Lord don't refuse me". No matter the task at hand I want to be a willing servant to the Master and be a servant after Gods own heart. A heart that is pleasing to Him in ALL Things! I wan to be humble and mold able in the palms of God my Creator. I want Him to be the Center of my life! I want myself to fade into the background so that people can see Jesus thru me. I want the Joy of the Lord to shine upon my face---I don't want to loose the Joy of the Lord--satan would love to steal our Joy--the Joy of the Lord is my strength!!

Hmmm--Well I guess I've posted all that's on my heart. I hope that everyone has a great Wednesday Night---

Love you All and God Bless!

HELLO!

Well it's been a few days since I've posted. Not too much has changed. Still Busy with the Lords work, but what better way to be busy than working for Him. I've been preaching more here lately than I have in a while! I preached last Sunday Night and this past weekend I preached for the Morning Service. That made me a little more nervous because it was the largest number I had preached to in a LONG time, but with God's Help I made it thru. I'm really enjoying letting the Lord use me however He See's fit! I hope that makes sense? I enjoy allowing the Lord to use me--I never would have thought in a million years that God would call me to Preach, but He did and I've learned to trust Him and allow Him to guide and direct my path even though I may not understand it at times. I remember, I guess it's been about two years ago when the Lord first began to deal with me about the calling He had for me and I was so scared that maybe it wasn't really Him, the devil will lie to you ya know. I feared "getting into self" more than anything in part because of the way that I've been taught. I remember thinking that surely it wasn't really what God wanted and maybe I had just imagined it all, but then one day the Lord gave me a scripture to read and that scripture was a conformation that indeed He had called me. Still even with that I began to doubt a time or two, but again God confirmed by the way of a stranger that I had truly been called by God and not by any other means but Him! I'm not sure why I said all of that, but I'm sure God does. Maybe their is someone out there that God is calling and they are second guessing that calling I don't know, but when God called my name I had to obey--howbeit that it took me months to confirm it, but I did obey and I've had a peace about it since.

So what else is going on. As I said in my last post it's a busy time of year----Our Ol' Fashioned Day went GREAT! It was a fun day filled with Food and great fellowship. Last night we had our Band Service--we had a great time. Then Friday Night is our Youth Outing to The Judgement House. We have sort of made a tradition out of going there. It's a great eye opener especially for our Younger Youth! Want to know more about it and find one near you go to http://www.judgementhouse.org/ it's a great thing in this area and it is free--that helps when you are taking about 20+ people with you. After Judgement House the Youth are going out to eat Hopefully that is.----Then we have our Harvest Festival Saturday Night and I think it is going to be a Blast! We just had an activity director appointed and she is doing a fantastic job I'm so excited to see all the games and such that she has in store.

Well I guess I need to get back to work. We are about to take out boss out for lunch since we missed Boss's day last week because he was out hunting. Anyway I need to get off here.

Bye!

Busy, Busy Time of year!

Well I guess that this is one of the busiest time of year for me. Between Church, Church, and well Church and somewhere in there ranks Family and last work. Work is laid back and pretty easy for the most part, but still it's work and we are busy trying to make a hard push to end out a strong year in the insurance arena. This is a busy time for us at Church too--This past weekend was the Rice Festival and our Church sets up a booth with food and snacks for sale, oddly enough not one thing on our menu has rice in it though. (Hmmm that might be an idea for next year) Anyway we ended up raising about $1500.00 which will greatly help in paying for our insurance this year. Praise God! Well let's back track a little. Friday Night (10/12/07) we went to Little Rock to the Alltel Arena to see the Christian Contemprary group "Casting Crowns" then we didn't get home until 3am and had to be up early the next morning for the Rice Festival. Then I preached Sunday Night and then this Saturday in our Carwash for the Youth and then Old Fashioned Sunday and potluck for Pastor Appreciation Month and then the 26th we are going to The Judgement House and then Saturday is our fall festival and then November we start getting ready for the Christmas play and all that good stuff so--anyway Busy is the word!

Well I need to get back to work!

Toodles! Beth

Hmmm...

Well I don't know what to Blog about???


Well Brother Honeycutt made the appointments for 2007-2008 and I've got the same appointments this year as last. VLB Leader and Song Leader. One thing is for sure I am going to put my assistants to work this year!!! So if you are out there get ready to work!--Not too hard I don't think, but it is going to take us all to make this a very successful year. Especially the Youth Life team and the Youth Track team....I'm excited about the upcoming year and can't wait to see what God has in store for us. We've just came out of a great week and a half revival---11 Night's worth of great blessings from God. At times I thought that there was no way I could contain all that God was giving us. My cup truly ran over during this revival. God has been so good to us! Well I guess this is long enough to count as a post so I guess I better get off here so I can get back to work!

Have a great day!
