who are you living for?

This weekend was jam packed! We were having an Easter carnival on saturday and a service that night, followed by 3 services on sunday.
We had been praying for 1000 people to come to services over the weekend; the Lord provided... we had 1,077!
We had also been preparing for 1000-2000 people for the Easter carnival, although final numbers will never be known, we had around 7000 people! 53 people accepted Christ! It was intense.

Did i forget to mention that we were dropping over 15,000 candy-filled eggs from a helicopter?

It was amazing to see so many people! More importantly to get to show them the love of Christ. We had games for all ages...three-legged race (there is an ambulance in the back.. a think a lady went into labor and we had a few people "pass out.")

and 7 inflatables

I was originally incharge of popcorn..until the machine broke, as the line was growing :( BUT, casey, me and steph still had a great time!

So i ask, who are you living for? There are only 2 options: God or Satan. The amazing thing is, you get to CHOOSE!

I can say that it is amazing to be apart of something that is so much bigger than me, to become close to Christ and actually hear him talking to me!
I <3 you Desperation Church!

How Many Pounds?

( started this like 12 weeks ago, life got chaotic ... let's pretend that it is March) So, Leap Day 2016, I entered CRMC (with my amazingly supportive moma) and registered in the pre-op area. This day came sooner than I anticipated, but again...The Lord has His timing. For those of you wandering (and that did ask) no, I was not nervous. I wasn't nervous about the other surgery either. It just felt like it was the next-step (shout out to my new friend Ben, who is having his VSG as I type). I believe that the Lord covers us in a calm, when it's something that it suppose to happen, when whatever it is, is part of His plan. And sometimes His plan is crazy town. Yancy was my pre-op nurse and that sweet soul prayed over me before they took me back. Thankfully, I don't remember a lot once I got into the Operating Room. I do remember seeing Phillip, Justina, and Blake. They are all familiar and calming faces. Then I woke up in recovery, only slightly nauseated (YAY Phillip). ...

Why are you crying?

Wells, I was crying because God has been showing me amazing things over the past week. I mean, He always does, but flying part of this trip to Tucson has been amazing. On Wednesday morning I left Huntsville at 5:45am (Shout out to GB for dropping me off at the airport). I was able to watch the sunrise, from above the clouds. It was nothing short of spectacular. At that time, I was listening to Head to the Heart, by United Pursuit. https://youtu.be/FSol3_QZaaI The second verse sings, " My heart is open wide, I will receive Your light, You give me faith like a child, In You my heart runs wild." As I saw His light, it seemed so fresh and new. I smiled as tears ran down my face: people looked and I didn't care. And then I could not sleep, so I grabbed a book out of my bag, The Best Yes . It was given to me by a dear friend, it's good stuff. I am still reading it now, and underlining all sorts of stuff. When I land tonight at 6:30pm, I will have been able to ...

How is it that 6 months seems so short and so long?

I am in an amazing season of life. It's weird most days and I do not understand the plans the Lord is making, but that is okay. The Lord has timing. This morning as I sat in church, Andy Heis spoke about enjoying THIS time that God is moving in and do not spend all your time and energy looking back or looking too far forward. And at this moment, I am great. Sure things will change and move and explode and calm again, that is life folks. Almost 2 years ago I was originally nominated for the Humanitarian Award, that I was blessed to win 18 months later. The National Obesity Foundation is ran by almost all volunteers and they had a large turn over and my paperwork was lost in the shuffle. Lucky for them, I am persistent and assertive. I called and emailed and called and emailed until I spoke with Mike Panas, who helped me tremendously. As you know, I won that award and had Gastric Sleeve surgery in June, 6 months ago. I cannot say that I wished it would had happened sooner and I cann...

I ask a lot of questions.
