Freedom in Christ

THE RITE

Any one who knows me, knows this wont be the first movie i would go see, but i LOVE Anthony Hopkins. and it looked.....interesting. so Jason and i went to see it and it was very scary, but VERY powerful. we come out feeling a over whelming feeling of how powerful the name of Jesus Christ is. I did have very bad dreams the next two nights and i myself felt like the devil was breathing down my neck, but just as in the movie, i know how powerful the name of Jesus Christ is, and how his arm is stretched out to help his children in need.

I feel like the past week i have been in the Fathers wings, safe from Satan.

I do think every one should see this movie, and feel the power of Jesus Christ !!

New Year Resolution

A Wife of Noble Character


10£ Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies.

11 Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

13 She finds wool and flax
and busily spins it.

14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.

16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
with her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She is energetic and strong,
a hard worker.

18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
her lamp burns late into the night.

19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
her fingers twisting fiber.

20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
and opens her arms to the needy.

21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
for everyone has warm£ clothes.

22 She makes her own bedspreads.
She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.

23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,
where he sits with the other civic leaders.

24 She makes belted linen garments
and sashes to sell to the merchants.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.

26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instructions with kindness.

27 She carefully watches everything in her household
and suffers nothing from laziness.

28 Her children stand and bless her.
Her husband praises her:

29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.

31 Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

(Proverbs 31:10-31)

My goal is to be a Godly wife and mother and woman.

I don't want to be a worldly wife or mother or woman anymore.

Jesus, it's time to make me new.

Glorious Day

Living, He loved me

Dying, He saved me

Buried, He carried my sins far away

Rising, He justified freely forever

One day He’s coming

Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

Lucious starts Hockey !

Lucious started Hockey last night, right down the street. It was a beautiful night to start, we got to the rink and the coach came over and talked to us, and he will help me get some hockey stuff for Lucious. Lucious got his skates on and his helmet and we went out on the ice.


Lucious was scared at first, he fall down a lot, but he kept getting back up.

The rink was divided some of the kids were on one side of the rink practicing hockey and the other side of the rink was free play.

We skated on the free play side while his team mates (who knew how to skate) played on the other side.

Lucious asked for a hockey stick, the coach gave us one that was way to big, but my sweet boy wanted it all the same! With a stick and a puck in hand Lucious just started smacking the puck around, and he was really good and doing it.

With about 20 minutes till the end of the game, he expressed a desire to play with the other kids, well I said I didn't think that was a good idea, but we went over to the couch, and Lucious told him what he wished for... and the coach called him in to be goalie and guess what???

The first puck that came his way, he stopped !!!

It was so cool!!!

After being goalie... out he fearlessly went, to play with the other team members and chased after the puck with all the other kids.

I was so proud of him!!!

Mind you he couldn't skate as good as the other kids, but he didn't let that bug him, and he didn't give up.

He fell so many times and some times came down really hard on the ice,

but he always got back up.

As his mom I was so proud of him, and how hard he played.

If I wasn't convinced before that he would like hockey, I sure am now...

So I am going to go buy some hockey stuff for my little guy.

As you can see in the pictures below he had so much fun.

That's my boy!!!

For the Unrau family

Our family is going through some hard times right now and this song really fits.


Hear our cry, Lord, we pray
Our faces down, our hands are raised
You called us out, we turned away
We’ve turned away

With shipwrecked faith, the idols rise
We do what is right in our own eyes
Our children now will pay the price
We need Your light, Lord, shine Your light

If we’ve ever needed You
Lord, it’s now, Lord, it’s now
We are desperate for Your hand
We’re reaching out, we’re reaching out

All our hearts, all our strength
With all our minds, we’re at Your feet
May Your kingdom come in our hearts and lives
Let Your church arise, let Your church arise

We’re reaching out
We’re reaching out

We need You now
Revive us now
We need You now
